in subheading 8544.49.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 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.

    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 September 21, 2018, following receipt of 
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by Encore Wire 
Corporation, McKinney, Texas, and Southwire Company, LLC, Carrollton, 
Georgia. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the 
Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of aluminum wire and cable 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 
June 28, 2019 (84 FR 31101). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on 
October 17, 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 December 16, 2019. The views of the Commission are
