SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background. On June 21, 1995, the

Department of Commerce issued

antidumping duty orders on imports of

furfuryl alcohol from China (60 FR

32302). On July 25, 1995, the

Department of Commerce issued an

antidumping duty order on imports of

furfuryl alcohol from Thailand (60 FR

38035). The Commission is conducting

reviews to determine whether

revocation of the orders would be likely

to lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to the domestic industry

within a reasonably foreseeable time. It

will assess the adequacy of interested

party responses to this notice of

institution to determine whether to

conduct full reviews or expedited

reviews. The Commission’s

determinations in any expedited

reviews will be based on the facts

available, which may include

information provided in response to this

notice.

Definitions.—The following

definitions apply to these reviews:

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or

kind of merchandise that is within the

scope of the five-year reviews, as

defined by the Department of

Commerce.

(2) The Subject Countries in these

reviews are China and Thailand.

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the

domestically produced product or

products which are like, or in the

absence of like, most similar in

characteristics and uses with, the

Subject Merchandise. In its original

determinations, the Commission

defined the Domestic Like Product as

furfuryl alcohol.

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S.

producers as a whole of the Domestic

Like Product, or those producers whose

collective output of the Domestic Like

Product constitutes a major proportion

of the total domestic production of the

product. In its original determination,

the Commission defined the Domestic

Industry as all producers of furfuryl

alcohol, including toll-producers,

captive producers, and merchant market

producers. The Commission excluded

Advanced Resin Systems, Inc. under the

related parties provision.

(5) The Order Dates are the dates that

the antidumping duty orders under

review became effective. In the review

concerning China, the Order Date is

June 21, 1995. In the review concerning

Thailand, the Order Date is July 25,

1995.

(6) An Importer is any person or firm

engaged, either directly or through a

parent company or subsidiary, in

importing the Subject Merchandise into

the United States from a foreign

25364 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 84 / Monday, May 1, 2000 / Notices

manufacturer or through its selling

agent.

Participation in the reviews and

public service list.—Persons, including

industrial users of the Subject

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is

sold at the retail level, representative

consumer organizations, wishing to

participate in the reviews as parties

must file an entry of appearance with

the Secretary to the Commission, as

provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the

Commission’s rules, no later than 21

days after publication of this notice in

the Federal Register. The Secretary will

maintain a public service list containing

the names and addresses of all persons,

or their representatives, who are parties

to the reviews.

Former Commission employees who

are seeking to appear in Commission

five-year reviews are reminded that they

are required, pursuant to 19 CFR 201.15,

to seek Commission approval if the

matter in which they are seeking to

appear was pending in any manner or

form during their Commission

employment. The Commission’s

designated agency ethics official has

advised that a five-year review is the

‘‘same particular matter’’ as the

underlying original investigation for

purposes of 19 CFR 201.15 and 18

U.S.C. 207, the post employment statute

for Federal employees. Former

employees may seek informal advice

from Commission ethics officials with

respect to this and the related issue of

whether the employee’s participation

was ‘‘personal and substantial.’’

However, any informal consultation will

not relieve former employees of the

obligation to seek approval to appear

from the Commission under its rule

201.15. For ethics advice, contact Carol

McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics

Official, at 202–205–3088.

Limited disclosure of business

proprietary information (BPI) under an

administrative protective order (APO)

and APO service list.—Pursuant to

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the

Secretary will make BPI submitted in

these reviews available to authorized

applicants under the APO issued in the

reviews, provided that the application is

made no later than 21 days after

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register. Authorized applicants must

represent interested parties, as defined

in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to

the reviews. A separate service list will

be maintained by the Secretary for those

parties authorized to receive BPI under

the APO.

Certification.—Pursuant to § 207.3 of

the Commission’s rules, any person

submitting information to the

Commission in connection with these

reviews must certify that the

information is accurate and complete to

the best of the submitter’s knowledge. In

making the certification, the submitter

will be deemed to consent, unless

otherwise specified, for the

Commission, its employees, and

contract personnel to use the

information provided in any other

reviews or investigations of the same or

comparable products which the

Commission conducts under Title VII of

the Act, or in internal audits and

investigations relating to the programs

and operations of the Commission

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3.

Written submissions.—Pursuant to

§ 207.61 of the Commission’s rules, each

interested party response to this notice

must provide the information specified

below. The deadline for filing such

responses is June 20, 2000. Pursuant to

§ 207.62(b) of the Commission’s rules,

eligible parties (as specified in

Commission rule 207.62(b)(1)) may also

file comments concerning the adequacy

of responses to the notice of institution

and whether the Commission should

conduct expedited or full reviews. The

deadline for filing such comments is

July 17, 2000. All written submissions

must conform with the provisions of

§§ 201.8 and 207.3 of the Commission’s

rules and any submissions that contain

BPI must also conform with the

requirements of §§ 201.6 and 207.7 of

the Commission’s rules. The

Commission’s rules do not authorize

filing of submissions with the Secretary

by facsimile or electronic means. Also,

in accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and

207.3 of the Commission’s rules, each

document filed by a party to the reviews

must be served on all other parties to

the reviews (as identified by either the

public or APO service list as

appropriate), and a certificate of service

must accompany the document (if you

are not a party to the reviews you do not

need to serve your response).

Inability to provide requested

information.—Pursuant to § 207.61(c) of

the Commission’s rules, any interested

party that cannot furnish the

information requested by this notice in

the requested form and manner shall

notify the Commission at the earliest

possible time, provide a full explanation

of why it cannot provide the requested

information, and indicate alternative

forms in which it can provide

equivalent information. If an interested

party does not provide this notification

(or the Commission finds the

explanation provided in the notification

inadequate) and fails to provide a

complete response to this notice, the

Commission may take an adverse

inference against the party pursuant to

section 776(b) of the Act in making its

determinations in the reviews.
