ACTION: Notice of Commission determination to conduct full five-year 
reviews concerning the countervailing duty orders on cotton shop towels 
from Pakistan and Peru and the antidumping duty orders on cotton shop

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

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice that it will proceed with 
full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether revocation of the 
countervailing duty orders on cotton shop towels from Pakistan and Peru 
and the antidumping duty orders on cotton shop towels from Bangladesh 
and China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. A schedule for 
the reviews will be established and announced at a later date.
    For further information concerning the conduct of this review and 
rules of general application, consult the Commission's rules of 
practice and procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 
201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Recent

year reviews, including the text of subpart F of part 207, are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 8, 1999, the Commission determined 
that it should proceed to full reviews in the subject five-year reviews 
pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act. The Commission, in 
consultation with the Department of Commerce, grouped these reviews 
because they involve similar domestic like products. See 19 U.S.C. 
1675(c)(5)(D); 63 F.R. 29372, 29374 (May 29, 1998). The Commission 
found that the domestic interested party group response to its notice 
of institution (64 FR 371, Jan. 4, 1999) of the subject five-year 
reviews was adequate and the respondent interested party group 
responses were inadequate. 2 The Commission also found 
3 that other circumstances warranted conducting full 
reviews. A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's 
statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements 
will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the 
Commission's web site.

    \2\  Commissioner Askey dissenting with respect to the adequacy 
of the respondent interested party group response for Peru.
    \3\  Chairman Bragg, Vice Chairman Miller, and Commissioner 
Crawford dissenting.

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    Issued: April 14, 1999

    By order of the Commission.

Secretary.
