Dried Tart Cherries From 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 not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of dried tart 
cherries from Turkey, provided for in subheading 0813.40.30 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 government of Turkey.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

2019, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the Dried Tart Cherry Trade Committee.\2\ The final phase 
of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
dried tart cherries from 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. 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 October 4, 2019 (84 FR 53175). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on December 3, 2019, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.

Central Cooperative; Graceland Fruit, Inc.; Payson Fruit Growers 
Coop; Shoreline Fruit, LLC; and Smeltzer Orchard, Co.
