Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective May 17, 
2001, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by DuPont Teijin Films, Wilmington, DE, Mitsubishi Polyester 
Film of America, Greer, SC, and Toray Plastics (America), Inc., North 
Kensington, RI. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by 
the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of PET film from India were being subsidized 
within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) 
and that imports of PET film from India and Taiwan 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 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 
February 1, 2002 (67 FR 4995). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on May 9, 2002, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on June 18, 2002. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3518 (June 2002), 
entitled Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from India 
and Taiwan: Investigations Nos. 701-TA-415 and 731-TA-933-934 (Final).
