INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-715 and 731-TA-1682 (Final)]


Ferrosilicon From Russia

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 ferrosilicon from Russia, provided for in 
subheadings 7202.21 and 7202.29 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 
Russia.<SUP>2 3</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 76450 and 76454 (September 18, 2024).
    \3\ 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 countervailing and 
antidumping duty orders on ferrosilicon from Russia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective March 28, 
2024, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by CC Metals and Alloy, LLC, Calvert City, Kentucky, and 
Ferroglobe USA, Inc., Beverly, Ohio.\4\ The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of ferrosilicon 
from Russia 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 
July 9, 2024 (89 FR 56407).\5\ The Commission conducted its hearing on 
September 12, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The petition alleged that an industry in the United States 
is materially injured and threatened with material injury by reason 
of subsidized and LTFV imports of ferrosilicon from Brazil, 
Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Russia. The investigations regarding 
ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia are ongoing.
    \5\ The Commission subsequently revised its schedule pursuant to 
Commerce's tolling of deadlines (89 FR 65671, August 12, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 November 4, 2024. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5556 (November 2024), entitled 
Ferrosilicon from Russia: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-715 and 731-TA-1682 
(Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: November 5, 2024.
