(AD) petition on steel propane cylinders from Taiwan, we are 
terminating the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation.

DATES: Applicable June 26, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 22, 2018, Commerce received AD petitions concerning imports 
of steel propane cylinders from China, Taiwan and Thailand, filed on 
behalf of the petitioners.\1\ On June 11, 2018, Commerce initiated the 
LTFV investigations of steel propane cylinders from China, Taiwan and 
Thailand, which were published in the Federal Register on June 18, 
2018.\2\ On June 14, 2018, the petitioners submitted a letter 
withdrawing the AD petition with respect to Taiwan.\3\ Section 
351.207(b)(1) of Commerce's regulations stipulates that the Secretary 
may terminate an investigation, provided it has concluded that 
termination of the investigation is in the public interest.\4\ Because 
the petitioners have withdrawn their May 22, 2017, AD petition with 
respect to Taiwan, and have requested that Commerce terminate this 
investigation, we determine that termination of this investigation is 
in the public interest, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1).\5\ 
Accordingly, pursuant to section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1), we are 
terminating the LTFV investigation with respect to Taiwan.

the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and Thailand: Petition for 
the Imposition of Antidumping and Countervailing Duties,'' dated May 
22, 2018 (the Petition). For the purposes of the instant notice, all 
references to `the Petition' refer specifically to the AD Petition 
with respect to Taiwan.

Termination of Investigation

    In accordance with section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.207(b)(1), upon the petitioners' withdrawal of the Taiwan petition, 
we are terminating the LTFV investigation of steel propane cylinders 
from Taiwan.
