INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 303-TA-21 (Review) and 731-TA-451, 461, and 519 
(Review)]

Venezuela

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Commission determinations to conduct full five-year 
reviews concerning the antidumping duty orders and suspended

Mexico, and Venezuela.

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

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 
antidumping duty orders on gray portland cement and cement clinker from 
Japan and Mexico and termination of the suspension agreement on gray 
portland cement and cement clinker from Venezuela would be likely to 
lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a 
reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission has determined to exercise 
its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 
19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B); a schedule for the reviews will be established 
and announced at a later date.
    For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews 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 
amendments to the Rules of Practice and Procedure pertinent to five-
year reviews, including the text of subpart F of part 207, are 
published at 63 FR 30599, June 5, 1998, and may be downloaded from the

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 4, 1999.

subject five-year reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act. The 
Commission found that the domestic interested party group responses to 
its notice of institution (64 FR 41958, August 2, 1999) were adequate
