Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective June 2, 
1999, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Bethlehem Steel Corporation (Bethlehem, PA); 
U.S. Steel Group (Pittsburgh, PA); Ispat Inland, Inc. (East Chicago, 
IL); LTV Steel Co., Inc. (Cleveland, OH); National Steel Corporation 
(Mishawaka, IN); Gulf States Steel, Inc. (Gadsden, AL); Steel Dynamics, 
Inc. (Butler, IN); Weirton Steel Corporation (Weirton, WV); and the 
United States Steelworkers of America, Pittsburgh, PA. The final phase 
of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of preliminary determinations by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of cold-rolled steel from Turkey and Venezuela 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the Commission's 
investigations 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 December 1, 1999 
(64 FR 67307). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on January 20, 
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 May 4, 2000. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3297 (May 2000), 
entitled Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Products from Turkey and Venezuela: 
Investigations Nos. 731-TA-839-840 (Final).

    Issued: May 11, 2000.

    By order of the Commission.
