[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-609 and 731-TA-1421 (Preliminary)]


Steel Trailer Wheels From China

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of steel 
trailer wheels from China that are alleged to be sold in the United 
States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the 
government of China.^{2 3}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of 
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries 
of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not 
enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. 
Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold 
at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the 
right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing 
duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.

Background

    On August 8, 2018, Dexstar Wheel, Elkhart, Indiana, filed a 
petition with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry in 
the United States is materially injured or threatened with material 
injury by reason of subsidized imports of steel trailer wheels from 
China and LTFV imports of steel trailer wheels from China. Accordingly, 
effective August 8, 2018, the Commission, pursuant to sections 703(a) 
and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted 
countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-609 and antidumping duty 
investigation No. 731-TA-1421 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference 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 August 15, 2018 (83 FR 40551). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on August 29, 2018, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on 
September 24, 2018. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 4830 (October 2018), entitled Steel Trailer Wheels from 
China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-609 and 731-TA-1421 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: September 24, 2018.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
