Background
The Commission instituted these
investigations effective January 12,
2021, following receipt of petitions filed
with the Commission and Commerce by
Honeywell International, Inc., Charlotte,
North Carolina. The final phase of the
investigations was scheduled by the
Commission following notification of
preliminary determinations by
Commerce that imports of R–125 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)). Notice of the
scheduling of the final phase of the
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 on September 7, 2021 (86 FR
50171).5 The Commission conducted its
hearing on December 14, 2021. All
persons who requested the opportunity
were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these
determinations pursuant to §§ 705(b)
and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It
