Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective November 
21, 2003, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Nation Ford Chemical Co., Fort Mill, SC, and Sun Chemical 
Corp., Cincinnati, OH. The final phase of these investigations was 
scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of carbazole violet pigment 23 
from India were being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of carbazole violet 
pigment 23 from China and India 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 July 23, 2004 (69 FR 44059). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on November 10, 2004, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on December 22, 2004. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3744 
(December 2004), entitled Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from China and 
India: Investigations Nos. 701-TA-437 and 731-TA-1060 and 1061 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
