    materially injured by reason of imports from Thailand of canned 
    pineapple fruit,2 provided for in subheading 2008.20.00 of the 
    Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be 
    sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV).

    Background
    
        On June 8, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and the 
    Department of Commerce by Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd., Kahului, HI, 
    and the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, alleging 
    that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason 
    of LTFV imports of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand. Accordingly, 
    effective June 8, 1994, the Commission instituted antidumping 
    investigation No. 731-TA-706 (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 June 16, 1994 (59 FR 30951). The 
    conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 29, 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 July 25, 1994. The views of the 
    Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2798 (July 1994), 
    entitled ``Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand: Investigation No. 731-
    TA-706 (Preliminary).''
    
        By order of the Commission.
    
        Issued: July 27, 1994.
    Donna R. Koehnke,
    Secretary.
