Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 137 / Monday, July 20, 2009 / Notices
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.
