The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on April 10, 2018, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. To date, Commerce has issued final affirmative determinations with respect to the subject stainless steel flanges from China,[3 4]                      and, most recently, India.[5]                                          The Commission                           ( print page 45279)                        currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its countervailing and antidumping duty investigations on imports of stainless steel flanges from India.

These supplemental final comments may not contain new factual information and may not exceed five (5) pages in length. The supplemental staff report in the final phase of these investigations regarding subject imports from India will be placed in the nonpublic record on September 7, 2018; and a public version will be issued thereafter.
