Background

    On December 1, 2003, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Empire Kosher Poultry, Inc., Mifflintown, PA, alleging that 
an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened 
with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of kosher chicken from 
Canada. Accordingly, effective December 1, 2003, the Commission 
instituted antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1062 
(Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigation 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 December 11, 2003 (68 FR 69088, 
December 11, 2003). The conference was held in Washington, DC, on 
December 22, 2003, 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 January 15, 2004. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3669 (January 2004), 
entitled Kosher Chicken from Canada: Investigation No. 731-TA-1062 
(Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 20, 2004.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary.
