    The Commission instituted this investigation effective July 29, 
1996, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Cray Research, Inc., Eagan, MN. The final 
phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of vector supercomputers 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 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 May 7, 1997 (62 FR 24973). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on August 27, 1997, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on October 3, 1997. The views of the
