Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective September 
25, 2019, following receipt of antidumping and countervailing duty 
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by the American Glass 
Packaging Coalition, Tampa, Florida, and Chicago, Illinois. The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigation following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
glass containers from China were being subsidized within the meaning of 
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(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 March 6, 2020 (85 FR 13183). In light 
of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, and in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1677c(a)(1), the 
Commission did not conduct an in-person hearing scheduled for May 6, 
2020. Instead, the Commission conducted its hearing through a series of 
written questions, submissions of written testimony, written responses 
to questions, Commissioner questions and answers along with closing 
arguments and rebuttal remarks via video conference, and posthearing 
briefs; all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
participate.
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 705(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determination in this investigation on June 26, 2020. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5068 (June 2020), 
entitled Glass Containers from China: Investigation No. 701-TA-630 
(Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Dated: June 26, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
