SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective November 6, 2017, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on fine denier polyester staple fiber (``fine denier 
PSF'') from China, India, Korea, and Taiwan,\1\ following preliminary 
determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') that 
imports of fine denier PSF were subsidized by the governments of China 
and India. To date, Commerce has issued final affirmative 
countervailing duty determinations with respect to fine denier PSF from 
China and India \2\ and most recently final affirmative antidumping 
duty determinations with respect to China, India, Korea, and Taiwan.\3\ 
The Commission, therefore, is issuing a supplemental schedule for its 
antidumping duty investigations on imports of fine denier PSF from 
China, India, Korea, and Taiwan.
