INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-480 and 731-TA-1188 (Final)]


High Pressure Steel Cylinders From China Notice of Commission 
Determination To Conduct a Portion of the Hearing in Camera

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Closure of a portion of a Commission hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Upon the timely request of respondents, the Commission has 
determined to conduct a portion of its hearing in the above-captioned 
investigation scheduled for May 1, 2012, in camera. The remainder of 
the hearing will be open to the public.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael K. Haldenstein, Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-
205-3041. Hearing-impaired individuals are advised that information on 
this matter may be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal 
on 202-205-3105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission believes that respondents 
Beijing Tianhai Industry Co. Ltd. and American Fortune Company have 
justified the need for a closed session. In making this decision, the 
Commission nevertheless reaffirms its belief that whenever possible its 
business should be conducted in public.
    The hearing will include the usual public presentations by 
petitioner and by respondents, with questions from the Commission. In 
addition, the hearing will include a 10-minute in camera session for a 
confidential presentation by respondents. Each session will be followed 
by an in camera rebuttal presentation by petitioner and questions from 
the Commission relating to the BPI. During the in camera session the 
room will be cleared of all persons except those who have been granted 
access to BPI under a Commission administrative protective order (APO) 
and are included on the Commission's APO service list in this 
investigation. See 19 CFR 201.35(b). The time for the parties' 
presentations and rebuttals in the in camera session will be taken from 
their respective overall allotments for the hearing. All persons 
planning to attend the in camera portions of the hearing should be 
prepared to present proper identification.

    Authority: The General Counsel has certified, pursuant to 
Commission Rule 201.39 (19 CFR 201.39) that, in his opinion, a 
portion of the Commission's hearing in High Pressure Steel Cylinders 
from China, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-480 and 731-TA-1188 (Final), may be 
closed to the public to prevent the disclosure of BPI. See also 
Commission rules 207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4) (19 CFR 
207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4)).

    Issued: May 2, 2012.

    By order of the Commission.
James R. Holbein,
Secretary to the Commission.
