Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective April 11, 2017, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by Waterloo Industries Inc., Sedalia, Missouri. Effective September 15, 
2017, the Commission established a general schedule for the conduct of 
the final phase of its investigations on tool chests and cabinets, 
following a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of the 
subject merchandise were subsidized by the government of China. 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 of September 25, 2017 (82 FR 44657). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on November 28, 2018, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel. Following notification of final determinations by 
Commerce that imports of tool chests and cabinets from China and 
Vietnam 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 investigations 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 April 10, 2018 (83 FR 15361-68).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d (b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on May 24, 2018. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4787 (May 2018), 
entitled Tool Chests and Cabinets from China and Vietnam: Investigation 
Nos. 731-TA-1360-1361 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
