Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective October 22, 
1998, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Micron Technology, Boise, ID. 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 DRAMs of one megabit and above from Taiwan 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 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 June 17, 1999 (64 
FR 32521). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on October 19, 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 December 2, 1999. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3256 (December 1999), 
entitled Dynamic Random Access Memory Semiconductors of One Megabit and 
Above from Taiwan: Investigation No. 731-TA-811 (Final).

    Issued: December 3, 1999.

    By order of the Commission.
