SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--In October 2004, the Commission determined that there 
was no reasonable indication that a U.S. industry was materially 
injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of 
certain polyvinyl alcohol from Taiwan that were allegedly sold in the 
United States at less than fair value. The Commission's determination 
was appealed to the CIT. The CIT issued an opinion in the matter on 
January 29, 2007. Celanese Chemicals, Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 
07-16 (Ct. Int'l Trade Jan. 29, 2007). In its opinion, the CIT remanded 
the matter to the Commission for further proceedings not inconsistent 
with that opinion.
    Participation in the proceeding.--Only those persons who were 
interested parties to the original investigation (i.e., persons listed 
on the Commission Secretary's service list) and were parties to the 
appeal may participate in the remand proceeding. Such persons need not 
make any additional filings with the Commission to participate in the 
remand proceeding. Business proprietary information (``BPI'') referred 
to during the remand proceeding will be governed, as appropriate, by 
the administrative protective order issued in the original 
investigation.
    Written submissions.--The Commission is not reopening the record in 
this proceeding for submission of new factual information. The 
Commission will, however, permit the parties to file comments solely 
pertaining to the inquiries that are the subject of the CIT's remand 
instructions. Comments should be limited to no more than twenty (20) 
double-spaced and single-sided pages of textual material. The parties 
may not submit any new factual information and may not address any 
issue other than the inquiries that are the subject of the CIT's remand 
instructions. Any such comments must be filed with the Commission no 
later than March 12, 2007.
    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 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, except to the extent permitted by section 201.8 of the 
Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036 (Nov. 8, 2002).
    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's 
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.
    Parties are also advised to consult with the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 
201), and part 207, subpart A (19 CFR part 207) for provisions of 
general applicability concerning written submissions to the Commission.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 2, 2007.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
