INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-748-749 and 731-TA-1726-1727 (Preliminary)]

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 float glass
products from China and Malaysia, provided for in subheadings
7005.10.80, 7005.21.10, 7005.21.20, 7005.29.18, 7005.29.25, 7006.00.40,
7007.19.00, 7007.29.00, 7008.00.00, 7009.91.50, and 7009.92.50 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and
imports of the subject merchandise from China and Malaysia that are
alleged to be subsidized by the governments of China and
Malaysia.<SUP>2 3</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Sec. 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 Sec. Sec. 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 Sec. Sec. 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. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase
notice of

scheduling. 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. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On November 21, 2024, Vitro Flat Glass, LLC, Cheswick,
Pennsylvania, and Vitro Meadville Flat Glass, LLC, Cochranton,
Pennsylvania (collectively ``Vitro''), filed petitions 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 and LTFV imports of float glass products from China and
Malaysia. Accordingly, effective November 21, 2024, the Commission
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-748-749 and
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1726-1727 (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 November 27, 2024 (89 FR 93651).\4\
The Commission conducted its conference on December 12, 2024. All
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.

\4\ The Commission published a revised schedule on December 23,
2024 (89 FR 104562) to conform with Commerce's new schedule after
Commerce extended the deadline for its initiation determinations
from December 11, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (89 FR 102113, December
17, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
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
January 27, 2025. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5579 (February 2025), entitled Float Glass Products from
China and Malaysia: Investigation Nos. 701 TA-748-749 and 731-TA-1726-
