SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In April 1998, the Commission, by a one-to-one vote, determined 
that the domestic industry producing static random access memory 
semiconductors (SRAMS) was materially injured by subject imports from 
Taiwan. On June 30, 1999, the Court of International Trade (CIT) 
remanded the determination to the Commission with instructions to 
explain how it ensured that it did not attribute the price depressing 
effects from other known factors to the subject imports. In September 
1999, the Commission submitted Chairman Bragg's remand views as its 
``Views on Remand'' in response to the order, again finding material 
injury to the domestic industry. On April 11, 2000, Judge Pogue 
remanded the Commission's remand determination for further explanation 
of certain matters including whether the Commission properly relied on 
several lost revenue allegations. On April 26, 2000, the CIT granted a 
consent motion setting the due date for the submission of the 
Commission's remand views to the CIT to Monday, June 26, 2000.

Scheduling the Vote

    The Commission will vote on the remand determination at a public 
meeting to be held on Monday, June 12, 2000. The meeting is tentatively 
scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

Reopening the Record

    In order to assist it in making its determination on remand, the 
Commission is reopening the record on remand in this investigation for 
the limited purpose of gathering information regarding those lost 
revenue allegations discussed by the court. The Commission is not 
reopening the record for any other purpose, except to receive any 
comments from the parties on new information gathered regarding the 
lost revenue allegations.

Participation in These Proceedings

    Only those persons who were interested parties to the original 
administrative proceedings (i.e., persons listed on the Commission 
Secretary'' service list) may participate in these remand proceedings.

Limited Disclosure of Business Proprietary Information (BPI) Under 
an Administrative Protective Order (APO) and BPI Service List

    Information obtained during the remand investigation will be 
released to parties under the administrative protective order (``APO'') 
in effect in the original investigation on May 24, 2000. Pursuant to 
section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make 
business proprietary information gathered in the final investigation 
and this remand investigation available to additional authorized 
applicants, that are not covered under the original APO, provided that 
the application is made not later than seven (7) days after publication 
of the Commission's notice or reopening the record on remand in the 
Federal Register. Applications must be filed for any persons on the 
Judicial Protective Order in the related CIT case,

but not covered under the original APO. A separate service list will be 
maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI 
under the APO in this remand investigation.

Written Submissions

    The parties will be permitted to submit comments not to exceed 10 
pages, double-spaced and single sided, on stationery measuring 8\1/2\ x 
11 inches, addressing the accuracy, reliability, or probative value of 
new information gathered in the remand investigation regarding the lost 
revenue allegations. Any material in these comments that does not 
address these limited issues will be stricken from the record. The due 
date for the party comments is June 7, 2000.
    All written submissions must conform with the provisions of section 
201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain BPI must 
also conform with the requirements of section 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 
of the Commission's rules. In accordance with section 201.16(c) and 
207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the investigation 
must be served on all other parties to the investigation (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.

Tariff Act of 1930, title VII.

    Issued: May 15, 2000.
