Background

    On June 8, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd., Kahului, HI, 
and the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, alleging 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason 
of LTFV imports of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand. Accordingly, 
effective June 8, 1994, the Commission instituted antidumping 
investigation No. 731-TA-706 (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 June 16, 1994 (59 FR 30951). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 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 July 25, 1994. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2798 (July 1994), 
entitled ``Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand: Investigation No. 731-
TA-706 (Preliminary).''

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 27, 1994.
