## Background

                    The Commission instituted these investigations effective September 16, 2009, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by U.S. Steel Corp, Pittsburgh, PA and V&M Star L.P., Houston, TX.[4]                                          The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of seamless SLP pipe from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and dumped 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 May 11, 2010 (75 FR 26273). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on September 14, 2010, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. The Commission transmitted its determination in these investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on November 4, 2010. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4190 (November 2010), entitled                     *Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-469 and 731-TA-1168 (Final).*
