-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the institution of 
preliminary antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-732 and 733 
(Preliminary) under section 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended by Section 212(b) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), 
Pub. L. 103-465, 108 Stat. 4809 (1994) (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673b(a)) to 
determine whether there is a reasonable indication that an industry in 
the United States is materially injured, or is threatened with material 
injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is 
materially retarded, by reason of imports from Romania and South Africa 
of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe, provided for in subheadings 
7306.30.10 and 7306.30.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less 
than fair value. Unless the Department of Commerce extends the time for 
initiation pursuant to section 732(c)(1)(B), the Commission must 
complete preliminary antidumping investigations in 45 days, or in this 
case by June 12, 1995. The Commission's views are due at the Department 
of Commerce within 5 business days thereafter, or by June 19, 1995.

investigations and rules of general application, consult the
