INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337-TA-380]


Certain Agricultural Tractors Under 50 Power Take-Off Horsepower; 
Notice of Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial 
Determination Finding Three Respondents To Be in Default

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission had determined not to review the initial determination (ID) 
of the presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) in the above-captioned 
investigation finding respondents Tractor Company, Sonica Trading, Inc. 
(Sonica Trading), and Toyo Service Co., Ltd. (Toyo Service) in default, 
and to have waived their respective rights to appear, to be served with 
documents, and to contest the allegations at issue in the 
investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shara L. Aranoff, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, 
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-3090.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Neither Tractor Company, Sonica Trading, nor 
Toyo Service filed a response to the notice of investigation or the 
complaint, a discovery statement, a target date statement, or responses 
to complainants' discovery requests. On April 8, 1996, complainants 
Kubota Tractor Corporation, Kubota Manufacturing of America 
Corporation, and Kubota Corporation moved that Tractor Company, Sonica 
Trading, and Toyo Service be ordered to show cause why they should not 
be found in default, and if they failed to make such a showing, that an 
ID be issued finding them to be in default. On April 17, 1996, the ALJ 
ordered the subject respondents to show cause no later than May 3, 
1996, why each should not be found in default (Order No. 8). None of 
the three respondents filed a response to the order. Accordingly, on 
May 8, 1996, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 13) finding Tractor 
Company, Sonica Trading, and Toyo Service in default pursuant to 
Commission final rule 210.16, and ruling that they had waived their 
respective rights to appear, to be served with documents, and to 
contest the allegations at issue in the investigation. No petitions for 
review of the ID were received.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337), and section 
210.42 of the Commission's final Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 
CFR Sec. 210.42).
    Copies of the ID and all other nonconfidential documents filed in 
connection with this investigation are available for inspection during 
official business hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the 
Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-2000. Hearing impaired 
persons are advised that information on the matter can be obtained by 
contacting the Commission's TDD terminal at 202-205-1810.

    Issued: June 10, 1996.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
