Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 8,
1991, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the
Department of Commerce by the Ad Hoc Committee of Domestic Uranium
Producers and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union
(which has since become the Paper, Allied-Industrial-Chemical Union
(PACE)). The Commission's investigation was suspended on October 21,
1992, following Commerce's notification that it was entering into a
suspension agreement with Kazakhstan. The final phase of the
investigation was continued on January 15, 1999, when Commerce notified
the Commission that it was resuming its antidumping investigation with
respect to Kazakhstan as a result of the Government of Kazakhstan's
termination of its suspension agreement. Notice of the scheduling 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 the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of
March 3, 1999 (64 FR 10317). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on
June 9, 1999, 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 23, 1999. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3213 (July 1999),
entitled ``Uranium from Kazakhstan: Investigation No. 731-TA-539-A
(Final).''
Issued: July 23, 1999.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
