Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective September 7, 
2004, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Celanese Chemicals, Ltd., Dallas, TX. The final phase of 
the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
polyvinyl alcohol from 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 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 4, 2010 (75 FR 61175). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on January 25, 2011, 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 9, 2011. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4218 (March 2011),
