    The U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated investigations to determine if imports of float glass products from China and Malaysia are receiving unfair government subsidies, which may harm U.S. industry. These investigations focus on claims by U.S. producers that such subsidies and imports cause or threaten material injury to domestic float glass production. The investigations will assess whether the alleged subsidized imports from these countries are significant enough to affect U.S. market conditions. Schedules and procedures for the investigations are set out, including opportunities for public comment and data submission.
