Background

    On June 30, 1995, a petition was filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Rockwell Graphic Systems, Inc., Westmont, IL, 
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of large 
newspaper printing presses and components thereof, whether assembled or 
unassembled, from Germany and Japan.
    Accordingly, effective June 30, 1995, the Commission instituted 
antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-736 and 737 (Preliminary). 
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 July 10, 1995 (60 F.R. 35564). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on July 21, 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 August 14, 1995. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 2916 (August 
1995), entitled ``Large Newspaper Printing Presses and Components 
Thereof, Whether Assembled or Unassembled, from Germany and Japan: 
Investigations Nos. 731-TA-736 and 737 (Preliminary).''

    Issued: August 15, 1995.

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