INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-468 and 731-TA-1166-1167 (Final)]


Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks From China and Mexico

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(Commission) determines, pursuant to section 705(b) and 735(b) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the 
Act), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports from China and Mexico of certain magnesia carbon 
bricks, provided for in subheadings 6902.10.10, 6902.10.50, 6815.91.99, 
and 6815.99.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, 
that have been found by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to be 
subsidized by the Government of China and to be sold in the United 
States at less than fair value (LTFV).2 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on China.
    \3\ Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun, and Commissioners Daniel R. 
Pearson and Shara L. Aranoff determine that an industry in the 
United States is threatened with material injury by reason of 
imports of certain magnesia carbon bricks from China and determine 
that an industry in the United States is not materially injured or 
threatened with material injury, or that the establishment of an 
industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of 
imports from Mexico of certain magnesia carbon bricks.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective July 29, 
2009, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Resco Products Inc., Pittsburgh, PA. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of certain 
magnesia carbon bricks from China were being subsidized within the 
meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that 
imports of certain magnesia carbon bricks from China and Mexico 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 23, 2010 (75 FR 21346). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on July 27, 2010, 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 8, 2010. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4182 
(September 2010), entitled Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from China 
and Mexico: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-468 and 731-TA-1166-1167 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: September 10, 2010.
