The Commission instituted these

2013, following receipt of a petition 

filed with the Commission and 

Commerce by Ajinomoto North America 

Inc. (‘‘AJINA’’), Itasca, Illinois. The final 

phase of the investigations was 

scheduled by the Commission following 

notification of preliminary 

determinations by Commerce that 

imports of monosodium glutamate from 

China and Indonesia were being sold at 

LTFV within the meaning of section 

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 of June 

18, 2014 (79 FR 34782). The hearing was 

held in Washington, DC, on September 

23, 2014, and all persons who requested 

the opportunity were permitted to 

appear in person or by counsel. 

The Commission completed and filed 

its determinations in these 

investigations on November 10, 2014. 

The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 4499

and unfair competition, and trademark 

dilution, the threat or effect of which is 

to destroy or substantially injure an 

industry in the United States.
