INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 701-TA-355 (Final), and 731-TA-659 and 660 (Final)]

 

Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel From Italy and Japan; 
Commission Determination to Conduct a Portion of the Hearing in Camera

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Closure of a portion of a Commission hearing to the public.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Upon the request of two respondents and petitioners in the 
above-captioned final investigations, the Commission has unanimously 
determined to conduct a portion of its hearing scheduled for April 12, 
1994, in camera. See Commission rules 201.13 and 201.35(b)(3) (19 CFR 
201.13 and 201.35(b)(3)). The remainder of the hearing will be open to 
the public.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Lyons, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-
205-3094. Hearing impaired individuals are advised that information on 
this matter may be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal 
on (202) 205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission believes that unusual 
circumstances are present in these investigations so as to make it 
appropriate to hold a portion of the hearing in camera. This decision 
is made in light of the desirability of affording a full discussion at 
the hearing of business proprietary information (BPI) concerning (1) 
the condition of the domestic industry or industries; (2) confidential 
pricing, capacity, and capacity utilization data; and (3) confidential 
data regarding profitability, cost of goods sold, and sales, general 
and administrative expenses relating to a small number of domestic 
producers. In making this decision, the Commission nevertheless 
reaffirms its belief that whenever possible, its business should be 
conducted in public.

    Authority: The General Counsel has certified, pursuant to 
Commission Rule 201.39 (19 CFR 201.39) that, in her opinion, a 
portion of the Commission's hearing in the above-captioned 
investigation be closed to the public to prevent the disclosure of 
business proprietary information.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: April 7, 1994.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
