have been found by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in 
the United States at less than fair value (LTFV).

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective March 19, 
2008 (73 FR 16059) following receipt of a petition filed with the 
Commission and Commerce by Parker-Hannifin Corp. of Cleveland, OH. The 
final phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that 
imports of frontseating service valves 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 
November 21, 2008 (73 FR 70672). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on March 10, 2009, 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 April 21, 2009. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4073 (April 2009), 
entitled Frontseating Service Valves from China: Investigation No. 731-
TA-1148 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
