SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective March 8, 2018, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on polytetrafluoroethylene resin from China and 
India,\1\ following a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department 
of Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of subject PTFE resin were 
being subsidized by the government of India.\2\ 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 March 8, 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 subsequently issued its final negative 
determination regarding subsidized imports from India on July 6, 2018 
(83 FR 32150, July 11, 2018). Commerce has issued final affirmative 
antidumping duty determinations with respect to the subject PTFE resin 
from China \3\ and India.\4\ Accordingly, the Commission currently is 
issuing a supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigations 
on imports of PTFE resin from China and India.
