    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject

Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of ferrovanadium from Korea, provided for in 
subheading 7202.92.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States, that have been found by the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV'').

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted this investigation effective March 28, 2016, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by AMG Vanadium LLC of Cambridge, Ohio; Evergreen Metallurgical Company 
DBA Bear Metallurgical Company of Butler, Pennsylvania; Gulf Chemical 
and Metallurgical Corporation of Freeport, Texas; and Evraz Stratcor, 
Inc. of Hot Springs, Arkansas (collectively the Vanadium Producers and 
Reclaimers Association). The Commission scheduled the final phase of 
the investigation following notification of a preliminary determination 
by Commerce that imports of ferrovanadium from Korea 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 on 
December 5, 2016 (81 FR 87590). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on March 21, 2017, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determination in this investigation on May 8, 2017. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4683 (May 2017), entitled 
Ferrovanadium from Korea: Investigation No. 731-TA-1315 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: May 8, 2017.
