following notification of a preliminary
determination by Commerce that
imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico
were being sold at LTFV within the
meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1673b(b)).
The Commission commenced the
final phase of its investigation on
August 21, 1996.5 On October 28, 1996,
Commerce issued its preliminary
determination that imports of fresh
tomatoes from Mexico were being sold
at LTFV in the United States and
announced that Commerce and certain
producers/exporters of fresh tomatoes
from Mexico had signed a suspension
agreement.6 Also on October 28, 1996,
Commerce suspended the final phase of
its investigation.7 On November 1, 1996,
the Commission suspended the final
phase of its investigation.8
On October 1, 2001, the Commission
instituted its first five-year review to
determine whether termination of the
suspended investigation on fresh
tomatoes from Mexico would likely lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury.9 On January 4, 2002, the
Commission determined that it would
conduct a full review concerning the
suspended investigation on fresh
tomatoes from Mexico.10 On July 30,
2002, Commerce terminated the
suspension agreement, and Commerce
and the Commission terminated their
reviews of the suspended investigation
and resumed their final phase
antidumping investigations.11 On
December 16, 2002, Commerce and the
Commission suspended their resumed
final phase investigations when
Commerce signed a new suspension
agreement with certain growers/
exporters of fresh tomatoes from
Mexico.12

Commission instituted its second fiveyear review to determine whether
