3As defined by Commerce, manganese metal is

composed principally of manganese, by weight, but

also contains some impurities such as carbon,

sulfur, phosphorous, iron, and silicon. Manganese

metal contains by weight not less than 95 percent

manganese. All compositions, forms, and sizes of

manganese metal are included within the scope of

this investigation, including metal flake, powder,

compressed powder, and fines.

4Commissioner Rohr and Commissioner

Newquist determine that there is a reasonable

indication that an industry in the United States is

materially injured by reason of the alleged LTFV

imports from China.

1The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19

CFR § 207.2(f)).

2Commissioner Rohr and Commissioner

Newquist dissenting.

Commission determines,2 pursuant to

section 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930

(19 U.S.C. § 1673b(a)), that there is a

reasonable indication that an industry

in the United States is threatened with

material injury by reason of imports

from the People’s Republic of China

(China) of manganese metal,3 4 provided

for in subheadings 8111.00.45 and

8111.00.60 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States, that are

alleged to be sold in the United States

at less than fair value (LTFV).

Background

On November 8, 1994, a petition was

filed with the Commission and the

Department of Commerce by Elkem

Metals Company, Marietta, OH, and

Kerr-McGee Chemical Corporation,

Hamilton, MS, alleging that an industry

in the United States is materially

injured or threatened with material

injury by reason of LTFV imports of

manganese metal from China.

Accordingly, effective November 8,

1994, the Commission instituted

antidumping investigation No. 731–TA–

724 (Preliminary).

Notice of the institution of the

Commission’s investigation 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

(59 F.R. 59419). The conference was

held in Washington, DC, on November

29, 1994, and all persons who requested

the opportunity were permitted to

appear in person or by counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determination in this investigation to

the Secretary of Commerce on December

an industry in the United States is not

materially retarded, by reason of

imports from China of saccharin,

provided for in subheading 2925.11.00

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States, that have been found

by the Department of Commerce to be

sold in the United States at less than fair

value (LTFV).

Department of Labor herein presents

summaries of determinations regarding

eligibility to apply for trade adjustment

assistance for workers (TA–W) issued

during the period of December, 1994.

In order for an affirmative

determination to be made and a

certification of eligibility to apply for

worker adjustment assistance to be

issued, each of the group eligibility

requirements of section 222 of the Act

must be met.

(1) that a significant number or

proportion of the workers in the

workers’ firm, or an appropriate

subdivision thereof, have became totally

or partially separated,

(2) that sales or production, or both,

of the firm or subdivision have

decreased absolutely, and

(3) that increases of imports of articles

like or directly competitive with articles

produced by the firm or appropriate

subdivision have contributed

importantly to the separations, or threat

thereof, and to the absolute decline in

sales or production.

Negative Determinations for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In each of the following cases the

investigation revealed that criterion (3)

has not been met. A survey of customers

indicated that increased imports did not

contribute importantly to worker
