SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective September 29, 2023, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on brass rod from Brazil, India, Israel, Mexico, 
South Africa, and South Korea \1\ following preliminary determinations 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of brass 
rod from India, Israel, and South Korea were being subsidized by the 
governments of India, Israel, and South Korea.\2\ 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 October 5, 2023 (88 FR 69229). All 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.

    The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an 
industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of 
imports of brass rod from India that have been found by Commerce to be 
subsidized by the government of India.\3\ On April 22, 2024, Commerce 
issued its final affirmative determinations that imports of brass rod 
from Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea were being 
sold at less than fair value in the United States, and that imports of 
brass rod from South Korea were being subsidized by the government of 
South Korea.\4\ The Commission subsequently issued its final 
determinations that an industry in the United States is materially 
injured by reason of imports of brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, 
South Africa, and South Korea that have been found by Commerce to be 
sold in the United States at less than fair value and imports of the 
subject merchandise from South Korea that have been found by Commerce 
to be subsidized by the government of South Korea.\5\
