Background

    On November 30, 1994, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
the Department of Commerce by American MicroTrace Corporation, Virginia 
Beach, VA, alleging that an industry in the United States is materially 
injured and threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports 
of manganese sulfate from China. Accordingly, effective November 30, 
1994, the Commission instituted antidumping investigation No. 731-TA-
725 (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 December 8, 1994. (59 F.R. 63379). 
The conference was held in Washington, DC, on December 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 January 17, 1995. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2848 (January 1995), 
entitled ``Manganese Sulfate from the People's Republic of China: 
Investigation No. 731-TA-725 (Preliminary).''

    Issued: January 18, 1995.

    By order of the Commission.
