Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Scheduling of expedited five-year reviews concerning the 
countervailing and antidumping duty orders on fresh and chilled 
Atlantic salmon from Norway.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of 
expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation 
of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on fresh and chilled

of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic 
interested party group responses to its notice of institution (64 FR 
35680, July 1, 1999) were adequate and the respondent interested party 
group responses were inadequate. The Commission did not find any other 
circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews.1 
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited 
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Staff Report

    A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter 
of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on December 6, 
1999, and made available to persons on the Administrative Protective 
Order service list for these reviews. A public version will be issued 
thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.

Written Submissions

    As provided in section 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, 
interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have 
provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,2 and any party other than an interested party 
to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before December 9, 1999, and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year 
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement 
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the 
reviews by December 9, 1999. If comments contain business proprietary 
information (BPI), they must 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by Atlantic 
Salmon of Maine, Connors Aquaculture, DE Salmon, Island Aquaculture 
Corp., Maine Aqua Foods, Maine Coast Nordic, Treat's Island 
Fisheries, Trumpet Island Salmon Farm, and FAST to be individually 
adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be 
accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each 
document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other 
parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI 
service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The 
Secretary will

[[Page 55958]]

not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.

Determinations

    The Commission has determined to exercise its authority to extend 
the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 
Sec. 1675(c)(5)(B).

    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.
