INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION

Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1347–1348
(Final).

By order of the Commission.

Biodiesel From Argentina and
Indonesia
Determination
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 biodiesel from Argentina and
Indonesia 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’’).2 3

Background
The Commission, pursuant to section
735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)),
instituted these investigations effective
March 23, 2017, following receipt of a
petition filed with the Commission and
Commerce by the National Biodiesel
Board Fair Trade Coalition, Washington
DC. The Commission held a public
hearing in Washington, DC, on
November 9, 2017, and all persons who
requested the opportunity were
permitted to appear in person or by
counsel. Following notification of final
determinations by Commerce that
imports of biodiesel from Argentina and
Indonesia were being sold at LTFV
within the meaning of section 735(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of
the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission’s antidumping duty
investigations 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 of March 12, 2018 (83 FR
10747).
The Commission made these
determinations pursuant to section
735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)).
It completed and filed its
determinations in these investigations
on April 16, 2018. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 4775 (April 2018), entitled
Biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia:
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 Commissioner Jason E. Kearns did not
participate in these investigations.
3 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 antidumping duty order
on biodiesel from Argentina.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Standard on Blasting and the Use
of Explosives (29 CFR part 1926, subpart

U) specifies a number of paperwork
requirements. The following is a brief
description of the collection of
information requirements contained in
the Subpart.

employees also shall familiarize
themselves with the code and conform
to it at all times. Danger signs warning
of blasting agents shall also be placed at
suitable locations.

General Provisions (§ 1926.900)
§ 1926.900(d)—Paragraph (d) states
that employers must ensure that
explosives not in use are kept in a
locked magazine, unavailable to persons
not authorized to handle explosives.
The employers must maintain an
inventory and use record of all
explosives—in use and not in use. In
addition, the employer must notify the
appropriate authorities in the event of
any loss, theft, or unauthorized entry
into a magazine.
§ 1926.900(k)(3)(i)—Paragraph (k)(3)(i)
requires employers to display adequate
signs warning against the use of mobile
radio transmitters on all roads within
1,000 feet of blasting operations to
prevent the accidental discharge of
electric blasting caps caused by current
induced by radar, radio transmitters,
lighting, adjacent power lines, dust
storms, or other sources of extraneous
electricity. The employer must certify
and maintain a record of alternative
provisions made to adequately prevent
any premature firing of electric blasting
caps.
§ 1926.900(o)—Employers must notify
the operators and/or owners of overhead
power lines, communication lines,
utility lines, or other services and
structures when blasting operations will
take place in proximity to those lines,
services, or structures.
§ 1926.903(d)—The employer must
notify the hoist operator prior to
transporting explosives or blasting
agents in a shaft conveyance.
§ 1926.903(e)—Employers must
perform weekly inspections on the
electrical system of trucks used for
underground transportation of
explosives. The weekly inspection is to
detect any failure in the system which
would constitute an electrical hazard.
The most recent certification of
inspection must be maintained and
must include the date of inspection, a
serial number or other identifier of the
truck inspected, and the signature of the
person who performed the inspection.
§ 1926.905(t)—The employer blaster
must maintain an accurate and up-todate record of explosives, blasting
agents, and blasting supplies used in a
blast. The employer must also maintain
an accurate running inventory of all
explosives and blasting agents stored on
the operation.
§ 1926.909(a)—Employers must post a
code of blasting agents on one or more
conspicuous places at the operation. All
