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 Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.  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 Sec. Sec.  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. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the 
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase 
notice of scheduling. 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. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's 
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate 
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to 
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's 
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov), 
for comment.

Background

    On October 29, 2024, IDC Group, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, Iowa 
Spring Manufacturing, Inc., Adel, Iowa, and Service Spring Corp., 
Maumee, Ohio, filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, 
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of 
overhead door counterbalance torsion springs from China and India and 
LTFV imports of overhead door counterbalance torsion springs from China 
and India. Accordingly, effective October 29, 2024, the Commission 
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-746-747 and 
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1724-1725 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
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 November 4, 2024 (89 FR 87598). The 
Commission conducted its conference on November 19, 2024. All persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on 
December 13, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 5572 (December 2024), entitled Overhead Door Counterbalance 
Torsion Springs from China and India: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-746-747 
and 731-TA-1724-1725 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.
