INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-624-625 and 731-TA-1450-1451 (Final)]


Quartz Surface Products From India and Turkey; 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 quartz surface products from India and Turkey, 
provided for in subheading 6810.99.00 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 governments of India 
and Turkey.\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 determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing and 
antidumping duty orders on quartz surface products from India and 
Turkey.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective May 14, 
2019, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Cambria Company LLC, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The final 
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
quartz surface products from India and Turkey 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 revised notice in the Federal 
Register on February 11, 2020 (85 FR 7782). In light of the 
restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 
pandemic, and in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1677c(a)(1), the Commission 
did not cancel its hearing scheduled for April 29, 2020, but conducted 
its hearing through a series of written questions, submissions of 
written testimony, written responses to questions, posthearing briefs 
and closing remarks through teleconferencing; all persons who requested 
the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    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 June 15, 2020. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5061 (June 2020), entitled Quartz 
Surface Products from India and Turkey: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-624-
625 and 731-TA-1450-1451 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 15, 2020.
