reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured or threatened with material 

injury, or the establishment of an 

industry in the United States is 

materially retarded, by reason of 

imports of uncoated groundwood paper 

from Canada, provided for in

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that are alleged to be sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value and alleged to be subsidized by 

the Government of Canada. Unless the

in antidumping and countervailing duty 

investigations in 45 days, or in this case

Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) From 

Korea; 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 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of dioctyl terephthalate (‘‘DOTP’’) from 

Korea, provided for in subheading 

2917.39.20 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States, that have 

been found by the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in

(‘‘LTFV’’).2

Background 

The Commission, pursuant to section 

735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), 

instituted this investigation effective 

June 30, 2016, following receipt of a 

petition filed with the Commission and 

Commerce by Eastman Chemical 

Company, Kingsport, Tennessee. The 

Commission scheduled the final phase 

of the investigation following 

notification of a preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of DOTP from Korea 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 

investigation 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 April 

12, 2017 (82 FR 17691). The hearing was 

held in Washington, DC, on June 13, 

2017, and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission made this 

determination pursuant to section 

735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). 

It completed and filed its determination 

in this investigation on August 9, 2017.
