of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. Department of 
Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV''), and to be subsidized by the government of 
China.\2\

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective May 22, 2018, following receipt of a petition 
filed with the Commission and Commerce by Worthington Industries Inc. 
(``Worthington''), Columbus, Ohio, and Manchester Tank and Equipment 
(``Manchester''), Franklin, Tennessee. The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of steel propane 
cylinders from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 
703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports from China and 
Thailand were being sold at LTFV 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 
March 13, 2019 (84 FR 9135) and revised on April 29, 2019 (84 FR 
18084). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on June 5, 2019, 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 August 5, 2019. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4938 (August 2019), entitled Steel 
Propane Cylinders from China and Thailand: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-
607 and 731-TA-1417 and 1419 (Final).
