# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On May 22, 2018, Commerce received AD petitions concerning imports of steel propane cylinders from China, Taiwan and Thailand, filed on behalf of the petitioners.[1]                                          On June 11, 2018, Commerce initiated the LTFV investigations of steel propane cylinders from China, Taiwan and Thailand, which were published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on June 18, 2018.[2]                                          On June 14, 2018, the petitioners submitted a letter withdrawing the AD petition with respect to Taiwan.[3]                                          Section 351.207(b)(1) of Commerce's regulations stipulates that the Secretary may terminate an investigation, provided it has concluded that termination of the investigation is in the public interest.[4]                                          Because the petitioners have withdrawn their May 22, 2017, AD petition with respect to Taiwan, and have requested that Commerce terminate this investigation, we determine that termination of this investigation is in the public interest, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1).[5]                                          Accordingly, pursuant to section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1), we are terminating the LTFV investigation with respect to Taiwan.                

## Termination of Investigation

In accordance with section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1), upon the petitioners' withdrawal of the Taiwan petition, we are terminating the LTFV investigation of steel propane cylinders from Taiwan.
