    SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the institution of 
    preliminary antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-700-701 
    (Preliminary) under section 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
    1673b(a)) to determine whether there is a reasonable indication that an 
    industry in the United States is materially injured, or is threatened 
    with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United 
    States is materially retarded, by reason of imports from the People's 
    Republic of China and Thailand of disposable pocket lighters, gas 
    fueled, non-refillable, provided for in subheading 9613.10.00 of the 
    Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be 
    sold in the United States at less than fair value. The Commission must 
    complete preliminary antidumping investigations in 45 days, or in this 
    case by June 23, 1994.
        For further information concerning the conduct of these 
    investigations and rules of general application, consult the
