Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective March 30, 
2011, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Accuride Corp. (Evansville, IN) and Hayes Lemmerz 
International, Inc. (Northville, MI). The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of certain steel 
wheels 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. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
November 23, 2011 (76 FR 72441). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on March 8, 2012, 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 2, 2012. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4319 (April 2012), 
entitled Certain Steel Wheels from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-478 
and 731-TA-1182 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

     Issued: May 3, 2012.
