Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 705(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671d(b)), instituted this investigation effective September 28, 2017, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by The Chemours Company FC LLC, Wilmington, Delaware. The final phase 
of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
polytetrafluoroethylene resin from India were being subsidized within 
the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)). Notice 
of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigation 
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 23, 2018 (83 FR 12815). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on May 17, 2018, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 705(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determination in this investigation on July 6, 2018. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4801 (July 2018),
