    The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 4, 
1993, following a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of nitromethane from China were being sold at 
LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(b)). Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigation 
and of a public hearing 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 December 1, 1993 (58 FR 63392). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on March 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 May 6, 1994. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2773 (May 1994), entitled 
``Nitromethane from the People's Republic of China: Investigation No. 
731-TA-650 (Final).''
