or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of 
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin from China and India that have 
been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\ \3\ \4\

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective September 28, 
2017, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by The Chemours Company FC LLC, Wilmington, Delaware. 
Effective February 28, 2018, the Commission established a general 
schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its investigation on 
PTFE resin, following a preliminary determination by Commerce that 
imports of subject PTFE resin were subsidized by the government of 
India. 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 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 subsequently issued its final 
negative determination regarding subsidized imports of PTFE from India 
on July 6, 2018 (83 FR 32150, July 11, 2018). Following notification of 
final determinations by Commerce that imports of PTFE resin from China 
and India were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(b) 
of the ACT (19 U.S.C. 1673(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 on October 11, 2018 (83 
FR 51501).
    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 November 13, 2018. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4841 (November 
2018), entitled Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Resin from China and 
India: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1392-1393 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
