    INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

    [Investigation Nos. 701-TA-656 and 731-TA-1533 (Preliminary)]

    Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof From China;
    Determinations

        On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
    investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
    (``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
    Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
    United States is materially injured by reason of imports of certain
    metal lockers and parts thereof from China, provided for in subheadings
    9403.20.00 and 9403.90.80 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
    United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less
    than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the government of
    China.\2\
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's
    Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
        \2\ 85 FR 47343 (August 5, 2020) and 85 FR 47353 (August 5,
    2020).

    Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

        Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
    Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
    its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
    scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
    in Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
    Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
    determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.  703(b) or 733(b)
    of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
    notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
    under Sec. Sec.  705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed
    entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations
    need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the
    investigations. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
    investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
    organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
    antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
    prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
    persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
    investigations.

    Background

        On July 9, 2020, List Industries, Inc., Deerfield Beach, Florida;
    Lyon LLC, Montgomery, Illinois; Penco Products, Inc., Greenville, North
    Carolina; and Tennsco Corp., Dickson, Tennessee filed petitions with
    the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry in the United
    States is materially injured or threatened with material injury by
    reason of subsidized and LTFV imports of certain metal lockers and
    parts thereof from China. Accordingly, effective July 9, 2020, the
    Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-656
    and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1533 (Preliminary).
        Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
    a public conference 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 July 15, 2020 (85 FR 42917). The
    conference was held in Washington, DC, on July 30, 2020, and all
    persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in
    person or by counsel.
        The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
    703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
    completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on
    August 24, 2020. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
    Publication 5113 (August 2020), entitled Certain Metal Lockers and
    Parts Thereof from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-656 and 731-TA-1533
    (Preliminary).

        By order of the Commission.

        Issued: August 24, 2020.
    Lisa Barton,
    Secretary to the Commission.
