SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as ‘‘freight rail 

car coupler systems and certain 

components thereof. Freight rail car 

coupler systems are composed of, at 

minimum, four main components 

(knuckles, coupler bodies, coupler 

yokes, and follower blocks, as specified 

below) but may also include other items 

(e.g., coupler locks, lock lift assemblies, 

knuckle pins, knuckle throwers, and 

rotors). Subject freight rail car coupler 

systems and components are included 

within the scope whether finished or 

unfinished, whether imported 

individually or with other subject or 

non-subject components, whether 

assembled or unassembled, whether 

mounted or unmounted, or if joined 

with non-subject merchandise, such as 

other non-subject system parts or a 

completed rail car.’’ For Commerce’s 

complete scope and tariff treatment, see 

87 FR 12662, March 7, 2022. 

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

by Commerce that certain benefits 

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of § 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in China of freight rail coupler systems 

and components. The investigations 

were requested in petitions filed on 

September 29, 2021, by the Coalition of 

Freight Coupler Producers consisting of 

McConway & Torley LLC (‘‘M&T), 

Pittsburgh, PA, and the United Steel, 

Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 

Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union, AFL–CIO, CLC 

(‘‘USW’’).2

For further information concerning 

the conduct of this phase of the 

investigations, hearing procedures, and 

rules of general application, consult the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B 

(19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207). 

Participation in the investigations and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the final phase of these 

investigations as parties must file an 

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

§ 201.11 of the Commission’s rules, no 

later than 21 days prior to the hearing 

date specified in this notice. A party 

that filed a notice of appearance during 

the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not file an 

additional notice of appearance during 

this final phase. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the investigations. 

Please note the Secretary’s Office will 

accept only electronic filings during this 

time. Filings must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov.) No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. 

Limited disclosure of business 

proprietary information (BPI) under an 

administrative protective order (APO) 

and BPI service list.—Pursuant to 

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the 

Secretary will make BPI gathered in the 

final phase of these investigations 

available to authorized applicants under 

the APO issued in the investigations, 

provided that the application is made 

no later than 21 days prior to the 

hearing date specified in this notice. 

Authorized applicants must represent 

interested parties, as defined by 19 

U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the 

investigations. A party granted access to 

BPI in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not reapply for such 

access. A separate service list will be 

maintained by the Secretary for those 

parties authorized to receive BPI under 

the APO. 

Staff report.—The prehearing staff 

report in the final phase of these 

investigations will be placed in the 

nonpublic record on April 28, 2022, and 

a public version will be issued 

thereafter, pursuant to § 207.22 of the 

Commission’s rules.

COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–663–664 and 

731–TA–1555–1556 (Final)] 

Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene 

(PTFE) Resin From India and Russia; 

Determinations 

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 granular polytetrafluoroethylene 

(‘‘PTFE’’) resin from India and Russia, 

provided for in subheadings 3904.61.00 

and 3904.69.50 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States, 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’’), and to be subsidized by the 

governments of India and Russia.2 3

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

investigations effective January 27, 

2021, following receipt of petitions filed 

with the Commission and Commerce by 

Daikin America, Inc., Orangeburg, New 

York. The final phase of the 

investigations was scheduled by the 

Commission following notification of 

preliminary determinations by 

Commerce that imports of granular 

PTFE resin from India and Russia were 

subsidized within the meaning of 

section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV 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 

September 15, 2021 (86 FR 51378). In 

light of the restrictions on access to the 

Commission building due to the 

COVID–19 pandemic, the Commission 

conducted its hearing through written 

testimony and videoconference held on 

January 19, 2022. All persons who 

requested the opportunity were 

permitted to participate. 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to §§ 705(b) 

and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these investigations on March 8, 

2022. The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 5285 

(March 2022), entitled Granular 

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Resin 

from India and Russia: Investigation 

Nos. 701–TA–663–664 and 731–TA–
