[4 ] The Commission conducted its hearing on February 12, 2026. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.

The Commission made these determinations pursuant to §§ 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on March 31, 2026. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5719 (March 2026), entitled Active Anode Material from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-752 and 731-TA-1730 (Final).
