The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of trailer wheels from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)).
