Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective June 30, 
2003, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Home Products International, Inc. (HPI), Chicago, IL. The 
final phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that 
imports of ironing tables and certain parts thereof 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 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 8, 2004 (69 FR 10753) and March 8, 2004 (69 FR 16954). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on June 16, 2004, 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 July 28, 2004. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3711 (July 2004),
