INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-652 and 731-TA-1524-1525 (Final)]


Silicon Metal From Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and 
Kazakhstan; 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 silicon metal, provided for in subheadings 
2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, from Bosnia and Herzegovina and from Iceland, 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 from 
Kazakhstan, that have been found by Commerce to be subsidized by the 
Government of Kazakhstan.\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 antidumping duty 
order on silicon metal from Iceland.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective June 30, 
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Globe Specialty Metal, Inc., Beverly, Ohio and Mississippi 
Silicon, LLC, Burnsville, Mississippi. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of silicon metal 
from Kazakhstan were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of silicon metal from 
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland were being 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 December 30, 2020 (85 FR 86578). 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 22, 2021. All 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
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 April 12, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5180 (April 2021), entitled Silicon 
Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and Kazakhstan: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-652 and 731-TA-1524-1525 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: April 12, 2021.
