Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, 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 not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of tapered 
roller bearings from Korea 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\ 83 FR 29092 (June 22, 2018). Whether establishment of an 
industry in the United States is materially retarded is not an issue 
in this investigation.
    \3\ Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein dissenting. Commissioner 
Jason E. Kearns did not participate in the determination in this 
investigation.

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted this investigation effective June 28, 2017, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by The Timken Company, North Canton, Ohio. The Commission scheduled the 
final phase of the investigation following notification of a 
preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of tapered roller 
bearings 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 of February 27, 2018 (83 FR 8504). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on June 5, 2018, 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 August 6, 2018. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4806 (August 2018), 
entitled Tapered Roller Bearings from Korea: Investigation No. 731-TA-
1380 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: August 6, 2018.
