Commission established a general schedule for the conduct of the final
phase of its investigations on refillable stainless steel kegs from
China, Germany, and Mexico,\1\ following preliminary determinations by
the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of
refillable stainless steel kegs were being subsidized by the government
of China,\2\ and imports of refillable stainless steel kegs from China,
Germany, and Mexico were being sold at less than fair value (LTFV) in
the United States.\3\ 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
June 17, 2019 (84 FR 28070). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on
August 14, 2019, and all persons who requested the opportunity were
permitted to appear in person or by counsel. On August 19, 2019,
Commerce issued a final affirmative determination with respect to
imports of refillable stainless steel kegs from Mexico.\4\ The
Commission issued its final affirmative determination regarding LTFV
imports from Mexico on October 3, 2019 (84 FR 54174, October 9, 2019).
