Commerce that certain benefits which 

constitute subsidies within the meaning 

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

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in India of commodity matchbooks, and 

that such products are being sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of section 733 of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The 

investigations were requested in a 

petition filed on October 29, 2008, by 

D.D. Bean & Sons Co., Jaffrey, NH. 

Participation in the investigations and

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

section 201.11 of the Commission’s

receive BPI under the APO. 

Staff report.—The prehearing staff
