Armco/Sawhill, Sharon, PA; LTV Steel, Youngstown, OH; Sharon Tube, 
Sharon, PA; Laclede Steel, St. Louis, MO; Wheatland Tube, Collingswood, 
NJ; and Century Tube, Pine Bluff, AR, alleging that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury 
by reason of LTFV imports of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from 
Romania and South Africa. Accordingly, effective April 26, 1995, the 
Commission instituted antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-732-733

    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations 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 May 3, 1995 (60 FR 21828). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on May 17, 1995, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on June 12, 1995. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2899 (June 1995), 
entitled ``Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Romania and South
