and by publishing the notice in the
Federal Register of January 19, 2021 (86

access to the Commission building due
to the COVID–19 pandemic, the
Commission conducted its conference
through written testimony and video

persons who requested the opportunity
were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these
determinations pursuant to §§ 703(a)
and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.

and filed its determinations in these
