Background
On July 1, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and the
Department of Commerce by Hampshire Chemical Corporation, Lexington,
MA, and Chattem, Inc., Chattanooga, TN, alleging that an industry in
the United States is materially injured or threatened with material
injury by reason of LTFV imports of glycine from the People's Republic
of China. Accordingly, effective July 1, 1994, the Commission
instituted antidumping investigation No. 731-TA-718 (Preliminary).
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 July 8, 1994 (59 FR 35137). The
conference was held in Washington, DC, on July 22, 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 August 15, 1994. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2804 (August 1994),
entitled ``Glycine from the People's Republic of China: Investigation
No. 731-TA-718 (Preliminary).''
Issued: August 16, 1994.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
