Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective January 9,
1995, following a preliminary determination by the Department of
Commerce that imports of canned pineapple from Thailand were being sold
at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b(b)).\3\ 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
Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by
publishing the notice in the Federal Register of February 1, 1995 (60
FR 6290). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on June 1, 1995, and
all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
\3\ The petition in this investigation was filed prior to the
effective date of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''). This
investigation, thus, remains subject to the substantive and
procedural rules of the pre-existing law. See Pub. L. 103-465,
approved Dec. 8, 1994, 108 Stat. 4809, at Sec. 291.
