Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 8, 
1991, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by the Ad Hoc Committee of Domestic Uranium 
Producers and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union 
(which has since become the Paper, Allied-Industrial-Chemical Union 
(PACE)). The Commission's investigation was suspended on October 21, 
1992, following Commerce's notification that it was entering into a 
suspension agreement with Kazakhstan. The final phase of the 
investigation was continued on January 15, 1999, when Commerce notified 
the Commission that it was resuming its antidumping investigation with 
respect to Kazakhstan as a result of the Government of Kazakhstan's 
termination of its suspension agreement. 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 
March 3, 1999 (64 FR 10317). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on 
June 9, 1999, 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 July 23, 1999. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3213 (July 1999), 
entitled ``Uranium from Kazakhstan: Investigation No. 731-TA-539-A 
(Final).''

    Issued: July 23, 1999.

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