AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

reviews concerning the countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders 
on certain carbon steel products from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, 
Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands,

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

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 
countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on certain carbon steel 
products from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, 
Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, 
Sweden, Taiwan, and United Kingdom 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 3, 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 47862, September 1, 1999) were adequate with 
respect to all reviews, and that the respondent interested party group 
responses were adequate with respect to Belgium, Brazil, Canada, 
Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Romania, 
Spain, and United Kingdom but inadequate with respect to Australia, 
Poland, Sweden, and Taiwan. The Commission also found that other 
circumstances warranted conducting full reviews with respect to 
Australia, Poland, Sweden, and Taiwan.
    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: December 14, 1999.

Secretary.
