Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective December 16, 
2015, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Whirlpool Corporation, Benton Harbor, Michigan. The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigation following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
large residential washers from China 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 August 18, 2016 (81 FR 55231). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on December 7, 2016, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    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 January 30, 2017. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4666 (January 2017), 
entitled Large Residential Washers from China: Investigation No. 731-
TA-1306 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
