(Commission) determines, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)) and (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the

China other than finished heat sinks, provided for in subheadings 
7604.21, 7604.29, and 7608.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, that the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') has 
determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'').\2\ The Commission further determined that an 
industry in the United States is not materially injured or threatened 
with material injury, or that the establishment of an industry in the 
United States is not materially retarded, by reason of imports of 
finished heat sinks from China.3 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
    \3\ Because they do not find that finished heat sinks are a 
separate domestic like product, Vice Chairman Irving A. Williamson 
and Commissioner Charlotte R. Lane do not join in this 
determination.
    \4\ Finished heat sinks are fabricated heat sinks, sold to 
electronics manufacturers, the design and production of which are 
organized around meeting certain specified thermal performance 
requirements and which have been fully, albeit not necessarily 
individually, tested to comply with such requirements.

2010, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee and the United 
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 
Industrial and Service Workers International Union. The final phase of 
the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports 
of certain aluminum extrusions from China were subsidized within the 
meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and dumped 
within the meaning of 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.

hearing was held in Washington, DC, on March 29, 2011, 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 May 13, 2011. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4229 (May 2011),
