SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This investigation is being instituted as a result of an

imports of certain calcium aluminate flux from France are being sold in 
the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of section 
733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The investigation was requested in a 
petition filed on March 31, 1993, by Lehigh Portland Cement Company, 
Allentown, PA.
