Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 15, 
2012, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Utah Refractories Corp., Lehi, UT. The final phase of the 
investigation was scheduled by the Commission following notification of 
a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of silica bricks 
and shapes from 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 investigation 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 July 30, 2013 (78 FR 45968). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on November 21, 2013, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on January 9, 2014. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4443 (January 2014), 
entitled Silica Bricks and Shapes from China: Investigation No. 731-TA-
