U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV
within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the
scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission’s investigations and of a
public hearing to be held in connection

of the notice in the Office of the
Secretary, U.S. International Trade
Commission, Washington, DC, and by

(Preliminary).
