Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective June 26, 
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by The Mosaic Company, Plymouth, Minnesota. The Commission 
scheduled the final phase of the investigations following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of phosphate 
fertilizers from Morocco and Russia were being subsidized within the 
meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(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 of December 8, 2020 (85 FR 79033). In 
light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to 
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through 
written testimony and video conference on February 9, 2021. All persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  705(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on March 31, 2021. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5172 (March 2021), 
entitled Phosphate Fertilizers from Morocco and Russia: Investigation 
Nos. 701-TA-650-651 (Final).
