INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-624-625 and 731-TA-1450-1451 (Final)]
Quartz Surface Products From India and Turkey; 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 quartz surface products from India and Turkey,
provided for in subheading 6810.99.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than
fair value (``LTFV''), and to be subsidized by the governments of India
and Turkey.\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 determination are not likely to
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing and
antidumping duty orders on quartz surface products from India and
Turkey.

Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective May 14,
2019, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by Cambria Company LLC, Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The final
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of
quartz surface products from India and Turkey 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.
[[Page 37109]]
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 revised notice in the Federal
Register on February 11, 2020 (85 FR 7782). In light of the
restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the COVID-19
pandemic, and in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1677c(a)(1), the Commission
did not cancel its hearing scheduled for April 29, 2020, but conducted
its hearing through a series of written questions, submissions of
written testimony, written responses to questions, posthearing briefs
and closing remarks through teleconferencing; all persons who requested
the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections
705(b) and 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 June 15, 2020. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5061 (June 2020), entitled Quartz
Surface Products from India and Turkey: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-624-
625 and 731-TA-1450-1451 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
