Public Law 103-465, 108 Stat. 4809 (1994) (19 U.S.C. 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 Germany and Japan of 
large newspaper printing presses and components thereof, whether 
assembled or unassembled, provided for in subheadings 8443.11.10,

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 August 14, 1995. The 
Commission's views are due at the Department of Commerce within 5 
business days thereafter, or by August 21, 1995.
