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 there is a reasonable indication that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of pentafluoroethane (R–125) (‘‘R–125’’) 

from China, provided for in subheading 

2903.39.20 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States and may 

also be included in certain mixtures 

provided for in subheading 3824.78.00 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative

of the Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under §§ 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. 

Parties that filed entries of appearance 

in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not enter a separate 

appearance for the final phase of the 

investigations. Industrial users, and, if 

the merchandise under investigation is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations have the right 

to appear as parties in Commission 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

investigations. The Secretary will 

prepare a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the investigations. 

Background 

On January 12, 2021, Honeywell 

International, Inc., Charlotte, North 

Carolina filed petitions with the 

Commission and Commerce, alleging 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury by reason of subsidized 

imports of R–125 from China and LTFV 

imports of R–125 from China. 

Accordingly, effective January 12, 2021, 

the Commission instituted 

countervailing duty investigation no. 

701–TA–662 and antidumping duty 

investigation no. 731–TA–1554 

(Preliminary). 

Notice of the institution of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public conference 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 January 19, 2021 (86 

FR 5247). In light of the restrictions on 

access to the Commission building due 

to the COVID–19 pandemic, the 

Commission conducted its conference 

through written testimony and video 

conference on February 2, 2021. All 

persons who requested the opportunity 

were permitted to participate. 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to §§ 703(a) 

and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It completed 

and filed its determinations in these 

investigations on February 26, 2021.
