Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective April 27, 
2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by American Brass Rod Fair Trade Coalition, Washington, 
District of Columbia; Mueller Brass Co., Port Huron, Michigan; and 
Wieland Chase LLC, Montpelier, Ohio. The Commission scheduled the final 
phase of the investigations following notification of a preliminary 
determination by Commerce that imports of brass rod from India were 
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 
October 5, 2023 (88 FR 6922). The Commission conducted its hearing on 
December 12, 2023. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
align its countervailing duty investigation regarding India with its 
antidumping duty investigation regarding India, and reached an earlier 
final countervailing duty determination. On February 1, 2024, the 
Commission issued a final affirmative determination in its 
countervailing duty investigation of brass rod from India (89 FR 8440, 
February 7, 2024). On June 5, 2024, the Commission issued final 
affirmative determinations in its countervailing duty investigation of 
brass rod from South Korea and its antidumping duty investigations of 
brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea (89 
FR 49193, June 11, 2024). The investigation schedules became further 
staggered when Commerce aligned its countervailing duty investigation 
regarding Israel with its antidumping duty investigation regarding 
Israel and tolled all deadlines for its antidumping duty investigation 
regarding Israel by 90 days.
    Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that 
imports of brass rod from Israel were being sold at LTFV within the 
meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)) and were 
being subsidized by the government of Israel within the meaning of 
section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(a)), notice of the 
supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's 
antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations regarding brass 
rod from Israel 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 16, 2024 
(89 FR 66738).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  705(b) 
and Sec.  735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on September 19, 2024. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5545 (September 2024), entitled Brass 
Rod from Israel: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-687 and 731-TA-1614 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: September 19, 2024.
