Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective September 
25, 2019, following receipt of antidumping and countervailing duty 
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by the American Glass 
Packaging Coalition, Tampa, Florida, and Chicago, Illinois. The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigation following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
glass containers from China were being 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 investigation 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 6, 2020 (85 FR 13183). In light 
of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through a 
series of written questions and responses, written testimony, and video 
conference on May 6, 2020. All persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to participate. On June 26, 2020, the Commission issued 
a final negative determination in its countervailing duty investigation 
on glass containers from China.\3\ Following notification of a final 
determination by Commerce that imports of glass containers from China 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 735(a) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final 
phase of the Commission's antidumping duty investigation 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 September 28, 2020 (85 FR 60829).
