of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)), that there is a 
reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured by reason of imports from Colombia and Ecuador of 
fresh cut roses, provided for in subheading 0603.10.60 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).

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Background

    On February 14, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
the Department of Commerce by the Floral Trade Council, Haslett, MI, 
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of fresh cut 
roses from Colombia and Ecuador. Accordingly, effective February 14, 
1994, the Commission instituted antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-
684 and 685 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations 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 February 24, 1994 (59 FR 9000). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on March 8, 1994, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on March 31, 1994. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2766 (March 
1994), entitled ``Fresh Cut Roses from Colombia and Ecuador: 
Investigations Nos. 731-TA-684 and 685 (Preliminary).''

    Issued: April 1, 1994.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
