SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 27, 1999 (64 FR 46952), the Commission published a notice 
in the Federal Register scheduling a full five-year review concerning 
the antidumping duty order on internal combustion industrial forklift 
trucks from Japan. The schedule provided for a public hearing on 
January 25, 2000. Requests to appear at the hearing were filed with the 
Commission on behalf of NACCO Materials Handling Group and on behalf of 
Clark Material Handling Co. However, the Federal Government was closed 
on January 25, 2000, because of snow and so the Commission hearing was 
not held as scheduled. Subsequently, each of the parties requesting to 
appear at the hearing withdrew their request. Since there are no 
current requests by interested parties to appear at a public hearing, 
the Commission determined to cancel, instead of reschedule, the public 
hearing on internal combustion industrial forklift trucks from Japan 
and provide those parties scheduled to appear an opportunity to present 
written testimony. The Commission unanimously determined that no 
earlier announcement of this cancellation was possible.
    The Commission's new schedule for the review is as follows: the 
deadline for filing posthearing briefs is February 15, 2000; the 
Commission will make its final release of information on March 9, 2000; 
and final party comments are due on March 13, 2000.
    For further information concerning the review, see the Commission's 
notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 
207, subparts A and F (19 CFR part 207).

    Authority: This review is being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to sections 201.35 and 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    Issued: January 31, 2000.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
