INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-669 (Fourth Review)]


Cased Pencils From China

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject five-year 
review, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that revocation of the antidumping duty order on cased pencils 
from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1675(c)), instituted this review on June 1, 2016 (81 FR 35059) and 
determined on September 6, 2016 that it would conduct a full review (82 
FR 12467, March 3, 2017). Notice of the scheduling of the Commission's 
review 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 March 3, 2017 (82 FR 12467). The 
hearing was cancelled at the request of the domestic interested 
parties. The notice of cancellation of the hearing was published in the 
Federal Register on June 6, 2017 (82 FR 26118).
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It completed and filed its 
determination in this review on August 17, 2017. The
