Commerce that imports of PPD-T aramid fiber from the Netherlands were
being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19
U.S.C. Sec. 1673b(b)). Notice of the institution 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

(59 FR 3122). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on May 5, 1994,
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 June 15, 1994. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2783 (June 1994),
entitled ``Aramid Fiber Formed of Poly Para-Phenylene Terephthalamide
