Desktop Note Counters and Scanners From China, Korea, and the 
United Kingdom

Determinations

industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with 
material injury, or that the establishment of an industry in the United 
States is materially retarded, by reason of imports from China, Korea, 
and the United Kingdom of desktop note counters and scanners, provided 
for in subheading 8472.90.95 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less 
than fair value (LTFV).

rules of practice and procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

    On July 17, 2000, a petition was filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Cummins-Allison Corp., Mt. Prospect, IL, 
alleging

that an industry in the United States is materially injured and 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of desktop 
note counters and scanners from China, Korea, and the United Kingdom. 
Accordingly, effective July 17, 2000, the Commission instituted 
antidumping duty investigations Nos. 731-TA-885-887 (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 25, 2000 (65 FR 49224). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on August 7, 2000, 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 31, 2000. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3348 
(September 2000), entitled Desktop Note Counters and Scanners from
