    On May 31, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and the 
U.S. Department of Commerce by counsel on behalf of Shieldalloy 
Metallurgical Corp., New York, NY, alleging that imports of 
ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia are materially injuring 
and threatening to materially injure an industry in the United States. 
Accordingly, effective May 31, 1994, the Commission instituted 
antidumping investigation No. 731-TA-702 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigation and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by

conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 21, 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 July 15, 1994. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2796 (July 1994), 
entitled ``Ferrovanadium and Nitrided Vanadium from Russia:
