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 Japan of clad steel plate, provided 
for in subheading 7210.90.10 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

complete preliminary antidumping investigations in 45 days, or in this

Department of Commerce within 5 business days thereafter, or by 
November 20, 1995.
