investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the

United States is materially injured by reason of imports of float glass 
products from China and Malaysia, provided for in subheadings 
7005.10.80, 7005.21.10, 7005.21.20, 7005.29.18, 7005.29.25, 7006.00.40, 
7007.19.00, 7007.29.00, 7008.00.00, 7009.91.50, and 7009.92.50 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 
imports of the subject merchandise from China and Malaysia that are 
alleged to be subsidized by the governments of China and 
Malaysia.2 3

    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

Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.  703(b) or 733(b)

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

Pennsylvania, and Vitro Meadville Flat Glass, LLC, Cochranton, 
Pennsylvania (collectively ``Vitro''), 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 and LTFV imports of float glass products from China and 
Malaysia. Accordingly, effective November 21, 2024, the Commission 
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-748-749 and 
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1726-1727 (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 27, 2024 (89 FR 93651).\4\ 
The Commission conducted its conference on December 12, 2024. All 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.

2024 (89 FR 104562) to conform with Commerce's new schedule after 
Commerce extended the deadline for its initiation determinations 
from December 11, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (89 FR 102113, December 
17, 2024).

    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 
January 27, 2025. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
