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 antidumping duty orders on chrome-plated lug nuts from China and

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 November 4, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic 
interested party group responses to its notice of institution (64 FR 
41949, August 2, 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. 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 February 28, 
2000, 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 March 2, 2000, and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year 
reviews nor an

[[Page 62688]]

interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not 
contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by March 
2, 2000. 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 response submitted by 
Consolidated International Auto 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 these 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 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. 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
