imports from South Africa of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers, 
provided for in subheadings 8535.21.00 and 8536.20.00 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in

Background

    On April 14, 2003, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) by Airpax Corp., Cambridge, MD, 
alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured 
and threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of 
hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers from South Africa. Accordingly, 
effective April 14, 2003, the Commission instituted antidumping duty 
investigation No. 731-TA-1033 (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 April 22, 2003 (68 FR 19849). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on May 5, 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 May 29, 2003. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3600 (June 2003), 
entitled Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Breakers from South Africa: 
Investigation No. 731-TA-1033 (Preliminary).

    Issued: May 30, 2003.

    By order of the Commission.
