The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of certain pea protein from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the meaning of 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 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 89 FR 55557 and 55559 (July 5, 2024). 3 Commissioner David S. Johanson determined that a U.S. industry is threatened with material injury by reason of subject imports from China. 4 The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances determination are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on certain pea from China. Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein makes negative critical circumstances determinations in the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. Commissioner Johanson did not assess critical circumstances because he finds that the domestic industry is threatened with material injury and does not determine that the industry in the U.S. is materially injured.
