INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1347-1348 (Final)]


Biodiesel From Argentina and Indonesia

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia that have 
been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') 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\ Commissioner Jason E. Kearns did not participate in these 
investigations.
    \3\ 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 biodiesel from Argentina.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective March 23, 2017, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by the National Biodiesel Board Fair Trade Coalition, Washington DC. 
The Commission held a public hearing in Washington, DC, on November 9, 
2017, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
appear in person or by counsel. Following notification of final 
determinations by Commerce that imports of biodiesel from Argentina and 
Indonesia were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the scheduling of the final 
phase of the Commission's antidumping duty investigations 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 March 12, 2018 (83 FR 10747).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on April 16, 2018. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4775 (April 2018), 
entitled Biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia: Investigation Nos. 
731-TA-1347-1348 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
