or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of glass
containers from China, provided for in subheading 7010.90.50 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\

Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective September
25, 2019, following receipt of antidumping and countervailing duty
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by the American Glass
Packaging Coalition, Tampa, Florida, and Chicago, Illinois. The
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigation following
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of
glass containers from China were being subsidized within the meaning of
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(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 March 6, 2020 (85 FR 13183). In light
of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through a
series of written questions and responses, written testimony, and video
conference on May 6, 2020. All persons who requested the opportunity
were permitted to participate. On June 26, 2020, the Commission issued
a final negative determination in its countervailing duty investigation
on glass containers from China.\3\ Following notification of a final
determination by Commerce that imports of glass containers from China
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 735(a) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final
phase of the Commission's antidumping duty investigation 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 September 28, 2020 (85 FR 60829).
