Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective March 30, 
2021, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by MTD Products Inc., Valley City, Ohio. The final phase of 
the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
walk-behind snow throwers from China 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 November 5, 2021 (86 FR 69294). The 
Commission conducted its hearing on March 23, 3022. 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 May 11, 2022. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5322 (May 2022), entitled Walk-Behind 
Snow Throwers from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-666 and 731-TA-1558
