21790 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 79 / Monday, April 24, 2000 / Notices

Failure of a respondent to file a timely

response to each allegation in the

complaint and in this notice may be

deemed to constitute a waiver of the

right to appear and contest the

allegations of the complaint and this

notice, and to authorize the

administrative law judge and the

Commission, without further notice to

the respondent, to find the facts to be as

alleged in the complaint and this notice

and to enter both an initial

determination and a final determination

containing such findings, and may

result in the issuance of a limited

exclusion order or a cease and desist

order or both directed against such

respondent.

‘‘petitioners’’) to conduct a portion of its

hearing in the above-captioned

investigations scheduled for April 25,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission believes it should conduct

its business in public in all but the most

unusual circumstances. The

Commission has determined that, in

light of the nature of these

investigations, it will be able to assess

adequately all arguments raised by

petitioners without resorting to the

extraordinary measure of an in camera

hearing. Accordingly, the Commission

has determined that the public interest

would be best served by a hearing that

is entirely open to the public. See 19

CFR 201.36(c)(1).

Authority: This notice is provided

pursuant to Commission Rule 201.35(b) (19

CFR 201.35(b)).
