INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-1557 (Final)]


Certain Mobile Access Equipment and Subassemblies Thereof From 
China

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, 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 threatened with 
material injury by reason of imports of certain mobile access equipment 
and subassemblies thereof (``mobile access equipment'') from China, 
provided for in subheadings 8427.10.80, 8427.20.80, 8427.90.00, and 
8431.20.00 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'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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\ 87 FR 9576 (February 22, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective February 26, 
2021, following receipt of antidumping and countervailing duty 
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by the Coalition of 
American Manufacturers of Mobile Access Equipment (``CAMMAE'' or ``the 
Coalition'').\3\ The Commission scheduled the final phase of these 
investigations following notification of a preliminary determination by 
Commerce that imports of mobile access equipment from China were being 
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671b(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 of 
August 12, 2021 (86 FR 44402). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on 
October 12, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Coalition is composed of JLG Industries, Inc. (``JLG''), 
Hagerstown, Maryland and Terex Corp. (``Terex''), Redmond, 
Washington.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
align its countervailing duty investigation with its antidumping duty 
investigation. Following notification of a final determination by 
Commerce that imports of mobile access equipment from China were being 
subsidized within the meaning of section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671d(a)),\4\ on December 3, 2021, the Commission issued a final 
affirmative determination in its countervailing duty investigation of 
mobile access equipment from China.\5\ Following notification of a 
final determination by Commerce that imports of mobile access equipment 
from China were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)),\6\ notice of the supplemental 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's antidumping duty 
investigation 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 March 2, 2022 
(87 FR 11730).

    The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec.  735(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determination 
in this investigation on April 8, 2022. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5317 (April 2022), entitled Certain
