108 Stat. 4809 (1994) (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)) to determine whether there
is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is
materially injured, or is threatened with material injury, or the
establishment of an industry in the United States is materially
retarded, by reason of imports from the United Kingdom of foam extruded
PVC and polystyrene framing stock, provided for in subheadings
3924.90.20 and 3926.90.98 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, that is alleged to be sold in the United States at less
than fair value. Unless the Department of Commerce extends the time for
initiation pursuant to section 732(c)(1)(B), the Commission must
complete preliminary antidumping investigations in 45 days, or in this
case by October 23, 1995. The Commission's views are due at the
Department of Commerce within 5 business days thereafter, or by October
30, 1995.
