[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-466 and 731-TA-1162 (Preliminary)]


Wire Decking From China

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject

(Commission) determines, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)) (the Act), that 
there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States 
is materially injured, by reason of imports from China of wire decking, 
provided for in subheading 9403.90.80 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States 
at less than fair value (LTFV) and subsidized by the Government of 
China.

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of 
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries 
of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not 
enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. 
Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold 
at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the 
right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing 
duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.

AWP Industries, Inc., Frankfort, KY; ITC Manufacturing, Inc., Phoenix, 
AZ; J&L Wire Cloth, Inc., St. Paul, MN; Nashville Wire Products Mfg. 
Co., Inc., Nashville, TN; and Wireway Husky Corp., Denver, NC, alleging 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV and subsidized 
imports of wire decking from China. Accordingly, effective June 5, 
2009, the Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 
701-TA-466 and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1162

a public conference 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 of June 11, 2009 (74 FR 27823). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 26, 2009, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on July 20, 2009. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4092 (July 2009), 
entitled Wire Decking from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-466 and
