INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-665 and 731-TA-1557 (Preliminary)]


Certain Mobile Access Equipment and Subassemblies Thereof 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 there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of certain 
mobile access equipment and subassemblies thereof (``mobile access 
equipment'') from China, provided for in subheadings 8427.10.80, 
8427.20.80, 8427.90.00, and 8431.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that are alleged 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\ 86 FR 15905 and 86 FR 15922 (March 25, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.  703(b) or 733(b) 
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under Sec. Sec.  705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed 
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations 
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the 
investigations. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under 
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission 
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will 
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all 
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
investigations.

Background

    On February 26, 2021, the Coalition of American Manufacturers of 
Mobile Access Equipment (``CAMMAE'' or ``the Coalition'') \3\ filed 
petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry 
in the United States is materially injured and threatened with material 
injury by reason of subsidized and LTFV imports of certain mobile 
access equipment from China. Accordingly, effective February 26, 2021, 
the Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-
665 and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1557 (Preliminary).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Coalition is composed of JLG Industries, Inc. (``JLG''), 
Hagerstown, Maryland and Terex Corporation (``Terex''), Redmond, 
Washington.

    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference 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 March 4, 2021 (86 FR 12711). In light 
of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its conference through 
written testimony and video conference on March 19, 2021. All persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on April 
12, 2021. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 5186 (April 2021), entitled Certain Mobile Access Equipment 
and Subassemblies Thereof from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-665 and 
731-TA-1557 (Preliminary).
