INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-591 and 731-TA-1399 (Final)]


Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From China; Determinations

    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 common alloy aluminum sheet from China, provided 
for in subheadings 7606.11.30, 7606.11.60, 7606.12.30, 7606.12.60, 
7606.91.30, 7606.91.60, 7606.92.30, and 7606.92.60 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States, 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''), and to be subsidized by the 
government of China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing and 
antidumping duty orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations in response to a notification of investigations self-
initiated by the U.S. Department of Commerce deemed by the Commission 
as having been filed on December 1, 2017. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of common alloy 
aluminum sheet from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 
703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the 
meaning of 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 on July

18, 2018 (83 FR 33946).\3\ The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on 
October 30, 2018, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuing cessation of 
Commission operations, all import injury investigations conducted 
under authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 accordingly 
have been tolled pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(2), 1673d(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on January 30, 2019. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4861 (January 2019), entitled Common 
Alloy Aluminum Sheet from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-591 and 731-
TA-1399 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 30, 2019.
