Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective March 4, 
2020, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Celanese Corporation, Irving, Texas. The Commission 
scheduled the final phase of the investigation following notification 
of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of ultra-high 
molecular weight polyethylene from Korea were being sold at LTFV within 
the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(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 October 20, 2020 (85 FR 66576). 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 February 18, 2021. All 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determination in this investigation on April 12, 2021. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5178 (April 2021), 
entitled Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene from Korea: 
Investigation No. 731-TA-1474 (Final).
