that imports of the subject standard steel welded wire mesh were

Commission's investigations and of a public hearing 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 
December 16, 2020 (85 FR 81487). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on

permitted to participate.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
align its countervailing duty investigation with its antidumping duty 
investigation, and reached an earlier final countervailing duty 
determination. In April 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative 
determination in its countervailing duty investigation of standard 
steel welded wire mesh from Mexico (86 FR 18555, April 9, 2021). 
Following notification of a final determination by Commerce that 
imports of standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico were being sold 
at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of 
the Commission's antidumping duty investigation 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 July 1, 2021 (86 FR 35124).
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determination in this investigation on July 30, 2021. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5217 (July 2021),
