Commerce by M&B Metal Products Company, Inc., Leeds, AL. The final 
phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
steel wire garment hangers from China were being sold at LTFV within

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 April 4, 2008 (73 FR 18560). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on July 31, 2008, 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 September 29, 2008. The views of the
