It is shown that the striking energy variation in the [ital pd][r arrow][sup 3]He [eta] cross section near threshold is probably due to a final state interaction associated with a large (complex) [eta][minus][sup 3]He scattering length. The consequences of this hypothesis are studied for the production of the meson in the [eta][minus][sup 4]He and [eta][minus][sup 7]Be channels.
