INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 731-TA-725 (Final)]
Manganese Sulfate from the People's Republic of China
Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject
investigation, the Commission unanimously determines, pursuant to
section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673d(b)) (the
Act), that an industry in the United States is not materially injured
or threatened with material injury, and the establishment of an
industry in the United States is not materially retarded, by reason of
imports from the People's Republic of China (China) of manganese
sulfate, provided for in subheading 2833.29.50 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the Department
of Commerce to be sold in the United States at less than fair value
(LTFV).2
\1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR Sec. 207.2(f)).
\2\ The product covered by this investigation is manganese
sulfate, including manganese sulfate monohydrate
(MnSO4 x H2O) and any other forms, whether or not
hydrated, without regard to form, shape, or size, the addition of
other elements, the presence of other elements as impurities, and/or
the method of manufacture.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective May 11,
1995, following a preliminary determination by the Department of
Commerce that imports of manganese sulfate from China were being sold
at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
Sec. 1673b(b)). The petition in this investigation was filed on
November 30, 1994, prior to the effective date of the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act. Thus, this investigation was subject to the substantive
and procedural rules of the Tariff Act of 1930 as it existed prior to
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.3 Notice of the institution of
the Commission's investigation 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
May 24, 1995 (60 F.R. 27555). The hearing was held in Washington, DC,
on October 3, 1995, and all persons who requested the opportunity were
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
\3\ See P.L. 103-465, approved December 8, 1994, 108 Stat. 4809,
at Sec. 291.
