Commerce that imports of sebacic acid from the People's Republic of 
China 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

DC, on May 24, 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 July 5, 1994. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2793 (July 1994),
