(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective June 20, 2018, following receipt of petitions 
filed with the Commission and Commerce by the Coalition for Fair Rack 
Imports and its members. The final phase of the investigations was 
scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of steel racks from China were 
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671b(b)) and 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 28, 2019 (84 FR 11835). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on July 16, 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 September 9, 2019. The views of the Commission are
