    The Commission instituted these investigations effective June 30, 
2021, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Zeon Chemicals L.P. and Zeon GP, LLC (collectively, 
``Zeon''), Louisville, Kentucky. The Commission scheduled the final 
phase of the investigations following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of acrylonitrile-butadiene 
rubber from France, Mexico, and South Korea were being sold at LTFV 
within the meaning of section 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 of March 1, 2022, (87 
FR 11481). The Commission conducted its hearing on June 1, 2022. All 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on August 1, 2022. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5336 (August 2022), 
entitled Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) from France, Mexico, and
