Background 

On May 29, 2009, a petition was filed 

with the Commission and Commerce by 

Alabama Metal Industries, Corp., of 

Birmingham, AL and Fisher & Ludlow, 

Inc., of Wexford, PA, alleging that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury by reason of subsidized 

and less-than-fair-value imports of 

certain steel grating from China. 

Accordingly, effective May 29, 2009, the 

Commission instituted countervailing 

duty investigation No. 701–TA–465 

(Preliminary) and antidumping duty 

investigation No. 731–TA–1161 

(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 June 5, 2009 (74 FR 

27049). The conference was held in 

Washington, DC, on June 19, 2009, and 

all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on July 13, 

2009. The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 4087 

(July 2009), entitled Certain Steel 

Grating From China: Investigation Nos. 

701–TA–465 and 731–TA–1161 

(Preliminary). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: July 15, 2009. 

Marilyn R. Abbott, 

Secretary to the Commission.
