unassembled, and whether complete or incomplete, that have been found 
by the Department of Commerce to be sold in the United States at less 
than fair value (LTFV). The subject imports are provided for in

8501.53.80, and 9032.89.60 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and the 
Department of Commerce by Dresser-Rand Company, Corning, NY. The final 
phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of engineered process gas turbo-compressor 
systems, whether assembled or unassembled, and whether complete or 
incomplete, from Japan were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 
section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling of the Commission's investigation and of a public hearing 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 December 26, 1996 (61 FR 68053). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC, on April 24, 1997, 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
