INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-554 and 731-TA-1309 (Final)]


Certain Biaxial Integral Geogrid Products From China

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, 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 certain biaxial integral geogrids from China, 
provided for in subheading 3926.90.99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States, that have been found by the Department of 
Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the government of 
China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing and 
antidumping duty orders on certain biaxial integral geogrid products 
from China.

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective January 13, 2016, following receipt of a 
petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by Tensar Corporation, 
Morrow, Georgia. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by 
the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of certain biaxial integral geogrids from China 
were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and dumped 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 publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
September 15, 2016 (81 FR 63495). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on December 21, 2016, and all persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
