Background 

On November 25, 2024, Saint-Gobain 

Ceramics & Plastics, Inc., Malvern, 

Pennsylvania, 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 

and LTFV imports of sol gel aluminabased ceramic abrasive grains from 

China. Accordingly, effective November 

25, 2024, the Commission instituted 

countervailing duty investigation No. 

701–TA–750 and antidumping duty 

investigation No. 731–TA–1728 

(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 December 2, 2024 

(89 FR 95235).4 The Commission 

conducted its conference on December 

16, 2024. 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 January 29, 2025. The 

views of the Commission are contained

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On November 19, 2003, 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) issued an antidumping 

duty order on imports of refined brown 

aluminum oxide from China (68 FR 

65249). Commerce issued a 

continuation of the antidumping duty 

order on imports of refined brown 

aluminum oxide from China following 

Commerce’s and the Commission’s first 

five-year reviews, effective March 13, 

2009 (74 FR 10884), second five-year 

reviews, effective October 14, 2014 (79 

FR 61606), and third five-year reviews, 

effective March 6, 2020 (85 FR 13138). 

The Commission is now conducting a 

fourth review pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 

1675(c)), to determine whether 

revocation of the order would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to the domestic industry 

within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

Provisions concerning the conduct of 

this proceeding may be found in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts 

A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts 

A and F. The Commission will assess 

the adequacy of interested party 

responses to this notice of institution to 

determine whether to conduct a full or 

expedited review. The Commission’s 

determination in any expedited review 

will be based on the facts available, 

which may include information 

provided in response to this notice.

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year review, as defined

determination and its expedited first, 

second, and third five-year review 

determinations, the Commission 

defined the Domestic Like Product as all 

merchandise corresponding to 

Commerce’s scope, as well as any brown 

aluminum oxide where particles with a 

diameter greater than 3⁄8 inch constitute 

at least 50 percent of the total weight of 

the entire batch, as long as the product 

has been crushed, screened, and sorted 

into consistent sizes.
