information on this matter may be

obtained by contacting the

Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission believes that Indo-Rama

has justified the need for a closed

session. In this review, significant data

for both the foreign and domestic

industries are business proprietary.

Indo-Rama seeks a closed session in

order to fully address the issues before

the Commission without referring to

business proprietary information. In

making this decision, the Commission

nevertheless reaffirms its belief that

whenever possible its business should

be conducted in public.

The hearing will begin with public

presentations by Penn Speciality

Chemicals (‘‘PSC’’), a domestic producer

opposing revocation of the antidumping

duty order, followed by foreign

respondents in support of revocation.

During the public session, the

Commission may question the parties

following their respective presentations.

Next, the hearing will include a 10-

minute in camera session for a

confidential presentation by Indo-Rama

and for questions from the Commission

relating to the BPI, followed by a 10-

minute in camera rebuttal presentation

by PSC. For any in camera session the

room will be cleared of all persons

except those who have been granted

access to BPI under a Commission

administrative protective order (APO)

and are included on the Commission’s

APO service list in these investigations.

See 19 CFR 201.35(b)(1), (2). The time

for the parties’ presentations and

rebuttals in the in camera session will

be taken from their respective overall

time allotments for the hearing. All

persons planning to attend the in

camera portions of the hearing should

be prepared to present proper

identification.

Authority: The General Counsel has

certified, pursuant to Commission Rule

201.39 (19 CFR 201.39) that a portion of the

Commission’s hearing in Furfuryl Alcohol

from China and Thailand, Inv Nos. 731–TA–

703 and 705 (Review), may be closed to the

public to prevent the disclosure of BPI.

Issued: February 28, 2001.

By order of the Commission.

Secretary.
