AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

countervailing duty order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 6, 2009, the Commission determined that responses to its 
notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews were such that 
full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act should proceed 
(74 FR 11967, March 20, 2009). A record of the Commissioners' votes, 
the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any individual 
Commissioner's statements are available from the Office of the 
Secretary and at the Commission's Web site.

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 these reviews as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after 
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance 
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the 
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. 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.

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

    Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the 
Secretary will make BPI gathered in these reviews available to 
authorized applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, provided 
that the application is made by 45 days after publication of this 
notice. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as 
defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the reviews. A party 
granted access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice 
of institution of the reviews need not reapply for such access. A 
separate service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those 
parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.

Staff Report

    The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be placed in the 
nonpublic record on September 10, 2009, and a public version will be
