injured by reason of imports from China 

and Trinidad and Tobago of melamine, 

provided for in subheading 2933.61.00 

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’’) and subsidized by the 

governments of China and Trinidad and 

Tobago. 

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigations 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations under sections 703(b) or 

733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the 

Act. Parties that filed entries of 

appearance in the preliminary phase of 

the investigations need not enter a 

separate appearance for the final phase 

of the investigations. Industrial users, 

and, if the merchandise under 

investigation is sold at the retail level, 

representative consumer organizations 

have the right to appear as parties in 

Commission antidumping and 

countervailing duty investigations. The 

Secretary will prepare a public service 

list containing the names and addresses 

of all persons, or their representatives, 

who are parties to the investigations. 

Background 

On November 12, 2014, a petition was 

filed with the Commission and 

Commerce by Cornerstone Chemical 

Company, Waggaman, Louisiana, 

alleging that an industry in the United 

States is materially injured or 

threatened with material injury by 

reason of LTFV and subsidized imports 

of melamine from China and Trinidad 

and Tobago. Accordingly, effective 

November 12, 2014, the Commission 

instituted countervailing duty 

investigation nos. 701–TA–526–527 and 

antidumping duty investigation nos. 

731–TA–1262–1263 (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 November 18, 2014 

(79 FR 68699). The conference was held 

in Washington, DC, on December 3, 

2014, and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on December 

30, 2014. The views of the Commission 

are contained in USITC Publication 

4514 (January 2015), entitled Melamine 

from China and Trinidad and Tobago: 

Investigation Nos. 701–TA–526–527 and 

731–TA–1262–1263 (Preliminary). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: December 30, 2014.
