Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.

following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by the National Biodiesel Board Fair Trade Coalition, Washington DC. 
The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that 
imports of biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia 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 on August 28, 2017 (82 
FR 4399). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on November 9, 2017, 
and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear 
in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 705(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on December 21, 2017. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4748 (December
