SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective August 7, 2019, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on carbon and alloy steel threaded rod (``threaded 
rod'') from China, India, Taiwan, and Thailand,\1\ following a 
preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') that imports of threaded rod from Thailand were being 
sold at less than fair value (LTFV) in the United States.\2\ 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 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. On October 21, 2019, Commerce issued a final 
affirmative determination of sales at LTFV and critical circumstances 
with respect to imports of threaded rod from Thailand.\3\ The 
Commission issued its final affirmative determination regarding LTFV 
imports of threaded rod from Thailand on December 5, 2019.
