Background
On September 8, 1995, a petition was filed with the Commission and
the Department of Commerce by Marley Mouldings, Inc., Marion, VA,
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of foam
extruded PVC and polystyrene framing stock from the United Kingdom.
Accordingly, effective September 8, 1995, the Commission instituted
antidumping investigation No. 731-TA-738 (Preliminary). The petition in
this investigation was filed subsequent to the effective date of the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URRA''). This investigation, thus, is
subject to the substantive and procedural rules of the law as modified
by the URAA. See Public Law 103-465, approved Dec. 8, 1994, Stat 4809,
at Sec. 291.
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigation and of
a public conference 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 September 18, 1995 (60 F.R. 48167).
The conference was held in Washington, DC, on September 29, 1995, 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 23, 1995. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2930 (October 1995),
entitled ``Foam Extruded PVC and Polystyrene Framing Stock from the
United Kingdom: Investigation No. 731-TA-738 (Preliminary).''
Issued: October 25, 1995.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
