(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these

petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by Bristol Metals, LLC, 
Bristol, Tennessee; Felker Brothers Corp., Marshfield, Wisconsin; 
Marcegaglia USA, Munhall, Pennsylvania; and Outokumpu Stainless Pipe,

scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of welded stainless steel 
pressure pipe from India 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 May 27, 2016 (81 FR 33706). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC, on September 22, 2016, and all persons who requested 
the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on November 9, 2016. The views of the Commission are
