Japan of clad steel plate, provided for in subheading 7210.90.10 of the

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective February 27, 
1996, following a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of clad steel plate from Japan were being sold at 
LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
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 the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of March 13, 1996 (61 FR 10380). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on May 7, 1996, 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 25, 1996. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2972 (June 1996), 
entitled ``Clad Steel Plate from Japan: Investigation No. 731-TA-739 
(Final).''

    By order of the Commission.
