Certain Ductile Iron Waterworks Fittings From China

Following receipt of a petition, on September 5, 2003, on behalf of McWane, Inc.,\1\ Birmingham, AL, the Commission instituted investigation No. TA-421-4, Certain Ductile Iron Waterworks Fittings from China, under section 421(b) of the Act to determine whether certain ductile iron waterworks fittings \2\ from China are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities or under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause market disruption to the domestic producers of like or directly competitive products. The petition also alleges under section 421(i) of the Act that critical circumstances exist with respect to the subject products and requests that provisional relief be provided. Accordingly, the Commission will determine whether delay in taking action would cause damage to the relevant domestic industry which would be difficult to repair, and if that determination is affirmative, make a preliminary determination of whether imports of certain ductile iron waterworks fittings from China have caused or threaten to cause market disruption. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
