Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective March 28, 
2001, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Carolina Hydroponic Growers Inc., Leland, NC; Eurofresh, 
Inc., Willcox, AZ; Hydro Age, Cocoa Beach, FL; Sun Blest Management, 
Fort Lupton, CO; Sun Blest Farms, Peyton, CO; and Village Farms, LP, 
Eatontown, NJ. The final phase of the investigation was scheduled by 
the Commission following notification of a preliminary determination by 
Commerce that imports of greenhouse tomatoes from Canada 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 final phase 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 
November 14, 2001 (66 FR 57112). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on February 21, 2002, 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 April 11, 2002. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3499 (April 2002), 
entitled Greenhouse Tomatoes from Canada: Investigation No. 731-TA-925 
(Final).
