INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-637 and 731-TA-1471 (Final)]


Large Vertical Shaft Engines From China

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 large vertical shaft engines from China, provided 
for in subheadings 8407.90.10, 8407.90.90, and 8409.91.99 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 to be subsidized 
by the government of China.\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 large vertical shaft engines from China.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective January 
15, 2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the Coalition of American Vertical Engine Producers (Kohler 
Co., Kohler, Wisconsin and Briggs & Stratton Corporation, Wauwatosa, 
Wisconsin). The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the 
Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of large vertical shaft engines from China were 
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671b(b)) and 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 
September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58384). 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 January 5, 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 February 24, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5162 (February 2021), entitled Large 
Vertical Shaft Engines from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-637 and 
731-TA-1471 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: February 24, 2021.
