The Commission hereby gives notice of the institution of preliminary antidumping Investigation No. 731-TA-745 (Preliminary) under section 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673b(a)) (the Act) to determine whether there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of imports from Turkey of concrete reinforcing bars of steel, 1 provided for in subheadings 7213.10.00 and 7214.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value. Unless the Department of Commerce extends the time for initiation pursuant to section 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673a(c)(1)(B)), the Commission must complete preliminary antidumping investigations in 45 days, or in this case by April 22, 1996. The Commission's views are due at the Department of Commerce within five business days thereafter, or by April 29, 1996.
