Commerce by Thomas Steel Strip Corporation, Warren, Ohio. The final 
phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products from Japan 
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 
December 11, 2013 (78 FR 75371). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on April 1, 2014, and all persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.

investigation on May 21, 2014. The views of the Commission are
