Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective October 
23, 2019, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Bonney Forge Corporation (``Bonney''), Mount Union, 
Pennsylvania, and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union (``USW''), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The final 
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
forged steel fittings from India 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 19, 2020 (85 FR 37109). In light 
of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through written 
testimony and video conference on October 15, 2020. All persons who 
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
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 November 25, 2020. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5137 (November 2020), entitled Forged 
Steel Fittings from India and Korea: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-631 and 
731-TA-1463-1464 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
