INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-694 and 731-TA-1641-1642 (Final)]


Aluminum Lithographic Printing Plates From China and Japan: 
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 aluminum lithographic printing plates (``ALPs'') 
from China and Japan, provided for in subheading 3701.30.00 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 subsidized by the 
government of China.2 3 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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\ 89 FR 79256, 89 FR 79250, and 89 FR 79248 (September 27, 
2024).
    \3\ Commissioner David S. Johanson dissenting.
    \4\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders on ALPs from China.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective September 
28, 2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York. The final phase 
of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
ALPs from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of ALPs from China and Japan 
were 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 on 
May 14, 2024 (89 FR 41993).\5\ The Commission conducted its hearing on 
September 17, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A revision to the final phase schedule was published in the 
Federal Register on August 13, 2024 (89 FR 65933).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 November 12, 2024. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5559 (November 2024), entitled Aluminum 
Lithographic Printing Plates from China and Japan: Investigation Nos. 
701-TA-694 and 731-TA-1641-1642 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
