INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 731-TA-539-C, E, and F (Review)]


Uranium From Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Commission determinations to conduct full five-year 
reviews concerning the antidumping duty order and suspended 
investigations on uranium from Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

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

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 order on uranium from Ukraine and termination of the 
suspension agreements on uranium from Russia and Uzbekistan 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 
Commission's World Wide Web site at http://www.usitc.gov/rules.htm.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 4, 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 found that the domestic interested party group 
responses to its notice of institution (64 FR 41965, August 2, 1999) 
were adequate with respect to each review, and that the respondent 
interested party group responses were adequate with respect to Russia 
and Uzbekistan but inadequate with respect to Ukraine. The Commission 
also found that other circumstances warranted conducting a full review 
with respect to Ukraine. 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.

    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.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: November 10, 1999.

Secretary.
