Background
On May 8, 1996, a petition was filed with the Commission and the
Department of Commerce by Dresser-Rand Co., Corning, NY, alleging that
an industry in the United States is materially injured and threatened
with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of engineered process
gas turbo-compressor systems from Japan. Accordingly, effective May 8,
1996, the Commission instituted antidumping investigation No. 731-TA-
748 (Preliminary). On May 24, 1996, The United Steelworkers of America
(USW), Pittsburgh, PA, which represents the production workers at the
petitioner's and two other U.S. producers' facilities, filed a letter
with the Commission and Commerce indicating that it was joining
Dresser-Rand as a co-petitioner.
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigation and of
a public conference 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 May 17, 1996 (61 FR 24952). The
conference was held in Washington, DC, on May 29, 1996, and all persons
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by
counsel.
