Background

    On April 8, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Slater Steel Corp., Fort Wayne, IN, alleging 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason 
of LTFV imports of stainless steel angles from Japan. Accordingly, 
effective April 8, 1994, the Commission instituted antidumping 
investigation No. 731-TA-699 (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 April 14, 1994 (59 FR 17790). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on April 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 23, 1994. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2777 (May 1994), entitled 
``Stainless Steel Angles from Japan: Investigation No. 731-TA-699 
(Preliminary).''

    Issued: May 25, 1994.

    By order of the Commission.

Donna R. Koehnke,
