INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-922 (Final)]


Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields From China

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission 
determines,\2\ pursuant to section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured by reason of imports of automotive replacement glass 
windshields from China, provided for in subheading 7007.21.10 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the Department of Commerce to be sold in the United States at less 
than fair value (LTFV). The Commission further determines that critical 
circumstances do not exist with regard to those imports of the subject 
merchandise from China that were subject to the affirmative critical 
circumstances determination by the Department of Commerce.

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

A. Hillman dissenting.

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation on March 20, 2001, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by PPG Industries, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA; 
Safelite Glass Corp., Columbus, OH; and Apogee Enterprises, Inc., 
Minneapolis, MN. The final phase of the investigation was scheduled by 
the Commission following notification of a preliminary determination by 
the Department of Commerce that imports of automotive replacement glass 
windshields from China were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 
section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling 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 October 23, 2001 (66 FR 53630). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC on February 5, 2002, and all persons who requested the 
opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on March 28, 2002. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3494 (March 2002), 
entitled Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields from China: 
Investigation No. 731-TA-922 (Final).
