Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective March 31, 
2011, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Mid Continent Nail Corporation, Poplar Bluff, MO. The final 
phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
certain steel nails from the United Arab Emirates 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 23, 2011 (76 FR 72438). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on March 20, 2012, 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 May 2, 2012. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4321 (May 2012), entitled 
Certain Steel Nails from the United Arab Emirates: Investigation No.
