reason of imports of finished carbon steel flanges from India and 
Italy, provided for in subheading 7307.91.50 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the Department 
of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV''), and to be subsidized by the government of India.

(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective June 30, 2016, following receipt of a petition

imports of finished carbon steel flanges from India and Italy were sold 
at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)).
