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 February 7, 2018 (83 FR 5459). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on April 10, 2018, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel. To date, Commerce has issued final affirmative determinations 
with respect to the subject stainless steel flanges from 
China.2 3 The Commission subsequently issued its final 
affirmative determination regarding subsidized imports from China on 
May 29, 2018 (83 FR 25714, June 4, 2018). The Commission currently is
