SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective February 24, 2020, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigation on glass containers from China,\1\ following a 
preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') that countervailable subsidies were being provided to 
producers and exporters of glass containers from China.\2\ 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 conducted its hearing scheduled for May 6, 2020 through 
submissions of written testimony and written responses to questions, as 
well as Commissioner questions and answers, closing arguments, and 
rebuttal remarks via video conference; all persons who requested the 
opportunity were permitted to participate. The Commission subsequently 
determined that an industry in the United States was not materially 
injured or threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized 
imports of glass containers from China.\3\ On September 18, 2020, 
Commerce determined that certain glass containers from China are being, 
or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(LTFV).\4\ Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a 
supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation on imports 
of glass containers from China.
