Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective September 
16, 1994, following a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of fresh cut roses from Colombia and Ecuador were 
being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the institution of the Commission's 
investigations 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 October 20, 1994 
(59 FR 52989). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on January 26, 
1995, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on March 13, 1995. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2862 (March 
1995), entitled ``Fresh Cut Roses from Colombia and Ecuador: 
Investigations Nos. 731-TA-684 and 685 (Final).''

    Issued: March 13, 1995.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
