SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 7, 2000, the Commission

determined that the domestic interested

party group responses to its notice of

institution (64 FR 53412, October 1,

1999) were adequate and the respondent

interested party group responses were

inadequate. The Commission did not

find any other circumstances that would

warrant conducting full reviews. 1

Accordingly, the Commission

determined that it would conduct

expedited reviews pursuant to section

751(c)(3) of the Act. 2

Staff Report

A staff report containing information

concerning the subject matter of the

reviews will be placed in the nonpublic

record on April 17, 2000, and made

available to persons on the

Administrative Protective Order service

list for these reviews. A public version

will be issued thereafter, pursuant to

section 207.62(d)(4) of the

Commission’s rules.

Written Submissions

As provided in section 207.62(d) of

the Commission’s rules, interested

parties that are parties to the reviews

and that have provided individually

adequate responses to the notice of

institution, 3 and any party other than

an interested party to the reviews may

file written comments with the

Secretary on what determination the

Commission should reach in the

reviews. Comments are due on or before

April 20, 2000, and may not contain

new factual information. Any person

that is neither a party to these five-year

reviews nor an interested party may

submit a brief written statement (which

shall not contain any new factual

information) pertinent to the reviews by

April 20, 2000. However, should

Commerce extend the time limit for its

completion of the final results of its

reviews, the deadline for comments

(which may not contain new factual

information) on Commerce’s final

results is three business days after the

issuance of Commerce’s results. If

comments contain business proprietary

information (BPI), they must conform

with the requirements of sections 201.6,

207.3, 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.

In accordance with sections 201.16(c)

and 207.3 of the 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 BPI

service list), and a certificate of service

must be timely filed. The Secretary will

not accept a document for filing without

a certificate of service.

Determinations

The Commission has determined to

exercise its authority to extend the

review period by up to 90 days pursuant

to 19 U.S.C. § 1675(c)(5)(B).

Authority: These reviews are being

conducted under authority of title VII of the

Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published

pursuant to section 207.62 of the

Commission’s rules.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: January 12, 2000.
