Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective July 11, 
1996, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by FMC Corporation, Chicago, IL. The final phase 
of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of persulfates from China were being sold at LTFV 
within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
Sec. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the Commission's 
investigation and of a public hearing 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 January 23, 1997 
(62 FR 3526). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on May 14, 1997, 
and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear 
in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on June 25, 1997. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3044 (June 1997), 
entitled ``Persulfates from China: Investigation No. 731-TA-749
