701–TA–716–719 and 731–TA–1683– 

1687 (Final) pursuant to the Tariff Act

whether an industry in the United 

States is materially injured or 

threatened with material injury, or the 

establishment of an industry in the 

United States is materially retarded, by 

reason of imports of epoxy resins from 

China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and 

Thailand, provided for in subheading 

3907.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as ‘‘fully or 

partially uncured epoxy resins, also 

known as epoxide resins, polyepoxides, 

oxirane resins, ethoxyline resins, 

diglycidyl ether of bisphenol, 

(chloromethyl)oxirane, or aromatic 

diglycidyl, which are polymers or 

prepolymers containing epoxy groups 

(i.e., three-membered ring structures 

comprised of two carbon atoms and one 

oxygen atom). Epoxy resins range in 

physical form from low viscosity liquids 

to solids. All epoxy resins are covered 

by the scope of this investigation 

irrespective of physical form, viscosity, 

grade, purity, molecular weight, or 

molecular structure, and packaging.’’ 1

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of 

affirmative preliminary determinations 

by Commerce that certain benefits 

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of § 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in China, India, and Taiwan of epoxy 

resins, and that such products from 

China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and 

Thailand are being sold in the United 

States at less than fair value within the 

meaning of § 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673b). The investigations were 

requested in petitions filed on April 3, 

2024, by the U.S. Epoxy Resin 

Producers Ad Hoc Coalition, which is 

comprised of Olin Corporation, Clayton, 

Missouri, and Westlake Corporation, 

Houston, Texas. 

Although Commerce has 

preliminarily determined that 

countervailable subsidies are not being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

epoxy resins from South Korea, for 

purposes of efficiency the Commission 

hereby waives rule 207.21(b) 2 so that 

the final phase of the investigations may 

proceed concurrently in the event that 

Commerce makes a final affirmative 

determination with respect to such 

imports. 

For further information concerning 

the conduct of this phase of the 

investigations, hearing procedures, and 

rules of general application, consult the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B 

(19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207). 

Participation in the investigations and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the final phase of these 

investigations as parties must file an 

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

§ 201.11 of the Commission’s rules, no 

later than 21 days prior to the hearing 

date specified in this notice. A party 

that filed a notice of appearance during 

the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not file an 

additional notice of appearance during 

this final phase. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the investigations. 

Please note the Secretary’s Office will 

accept only electronic filings during this 

time. Filings must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice.

Limited disclosure of business 

proprietary information (BPI) under an 

administrative protective order (APO) 

and BPI service list.—Pursuant to 

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the 

Secretary will make BPI gathered in the 

final phase of these investigations 

available to authorized applicants under 

the APO issued in the investigations, 

provided that the application is made 

no later than 21 days prior to the 

hearing date specified in this notice. 

Authorized applicants must represent 

interested parties, as defined by 19 

U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the 

investigations. A party granted access to 

BPI in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not reapply for such 

access. A separate service list will be 

maintained by the Secretary for those 

parties authorized to receive BPI under 

the APO. 

Staff report.—The prehearing staff 

report in the final phase of these 

investigations will be placed in the 

nonpublic record on January 13, 2025, 

and a public version will be issued 

thereafter, pursuant to § 207.22 of the 

Commission’s rules.

a hearing in connection with the final 

phase of these investigations beginning 

at 9:30 a.m. on January 28, 2025. 

Requests to appear at the hearing should

the Commission on or before January 22, 

2025. Any requests to appear as a 

witness via videoconference must be 

included with your request to appear. 

Requests to appear via videoconference 

must include a statement explaining 

why the witness cannot appear in 

person; the Chair, or other person 

designated to conduct the investigation, 

may in their discretion for good cause 

shown, grant such a request. Requests to 

appear as remote witness due to illness 

or a positive COVID–19 test result may 

be submitted by 3 p.m. the business day 

prior to the hearing. Further information 

about participation in the hearing will 

be posted on the Commission’s website 

at https://www.usitc.gov/calendarpad/ 

calendar.html. 

A nonparty who has testimony that 

may aid the Commission’s deliberations 

may request permission to present a 

short statement at the hearing. All 

parties and nonparties desiring to 

appear at the hearing and make oral 

presentations should attend a 

prehearing conference, if deemed 

necessary, to be held at 9:30 a.m. on 

January 24, 2025. Parties shall file and 

serve written testimony and 

presentation slides in connection with 

their presentation at the hearing by no 

later than noon on January 27, 2025. 

Oral testimony and written materials to 

be submitted at the public hearing are 

governed by sections 201.6(b)(2),

also file written testimony in connection 

with their presentation at the hearing, 

and posthearing briefs, which must

has not entered an appearance as a party 

to the investigations may submit a 

written statement of information 

pertinent to the subject of the 

investigations, including statements of 

support or opposition to the petitions, 

on or before February 4, 2025. On 

February 18, 2025, the Commission will 

make available to parties all information 

on which they have not had an 

opportunity to comment. Parties may 

submit final comments on this 

information on or before February 20, 

2025, but such final comments must not

not accept a document for filing without 

a certificate of service. 

Authority: These investigations are 

being conducted under authority of title 

VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice 

is published pursuant to § 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules.
