States International Trade Commission (``Commission'') determines, 
pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act''), that an industry in

and alloy steel threaded rod (``threaded rod'') from Thailand, provided 
for in subheadings 7318.15.50, 7318.15.20, and 7318.19.00 of the

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted this investigation effective February 21, 2019, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by Vulcan Threaded Products Inc. (``Vulcan''), Pelham, Alabama. The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigation following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
threaded rod from Thailand \4\ were being sold at LTFV within the 
meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of 
the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigation 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 of August 27, 2019 (84 FR 44916). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on October 15, 2019, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
