The Commission instituted these investigations effective November

Commerce by Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics, Inc., Malvern,
Pennsylvania. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by
the Commission following notification of a preliminary determination by
Commerce that imports of sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive grains
from China were 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 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
June 2, 2025 (90 FR 23359). The public hearing in connection with the
investigations, originally scheduled for August 7, 2025, was
cancelled.\4\
