Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective December 14, 
1993, following a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of PPD-T aramid fiber from the Netherlands were 
being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. Sec. 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 January 20, 1994 
(59 FR 3122). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on May 5, 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 June 15, 1994. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2783 (June 1994), 
entitled ``Aramid Fiber Formed of Poly Para-Phenylene Terephthalamide 
from the Netherlands: Investigation No. 731-TA-652 (Final).''
