Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective August 22, 
2007, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Tronox LLC, Oklahoma City, OK. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of EMD from 
Australia and China were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 
section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of April 30, 2008 (73 FR 23491). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2008, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on September 25, 2008. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4036 
(September 2008), entitled Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from 
Australia and China: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1124 and 1125 (Final).

    Issued: October 7, 2008.

    By order of the Commission.
