SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Effective October 15, 1999, the Commission 
established a schedule for the conduct of the subject reviews (64 FR 
57483, October 25, 1999). On January 19, 2000, counsel for Wolff 
Walsrode AG, a German producer, and Bayer Corporation, a German 
importer, requested a two-month extension of the schedule on the 
assumption that a decision may be made within that time frame by 
Hercules, the sole U.S. producer, as to whether it will close or sell 
its production facility. The Commission has determined to exercise its 
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 
U.S.C. Sec. 1675 (c)(5)(B), and is hereby revising its schedule.
    The Commission's new schedule for the reviews is as follows: the 
prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on May 
18, 2000; the deadline for filing prehearing briefs is May 30, 2000; 
requests to appear at the hearing must be filed with the Secretary to 
the Commission not later than May 31, 2000; the prehearing conference 
will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 
9:30 a.m. on June 5, 2000; the hearing will be held at the U.S. 
International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on June 8, 2000; 
the deadline for filing posthearing briefs is June 19, 2000; the 
Commission will make its final release of information on July 13, 2000; 
and final party comments are due on July 17, 2000.
    For further information concerning these reviews, 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: 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.

    Issued: February 1, 2000.
