Background

    On October 1, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic 
interested party group response to its notice of institution (64 FR 
35685, July 1, 1999) was adequate and the respondent interested party 
group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other 
circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review.1 
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an 
expedited review 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 review will be placed in the nonpublic record on December 8, 
1999, and made available to persons on the Administrative Protective 
Order service list for this review. 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 review and that have 
provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution, 
2 and any party other than an interested party to the review 
may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination the 
Commission should reach in the review. Comments are due on or before 
December 13, 1999, and may not contain new factual information. Any 
person that is neither a party to the five-year review nor an 
interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not 
contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review by 
December 13, 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 E.I. 
DuPont de Nemours & Co. and Mitsubishi Polyester Film, LLC 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 review must be served on all other 
parties to the review (as identified by either the public or BPI 
service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The 
Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate 
of service.

Determination

    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: This review is being conducted under authority of
