Professional Electric Cutting Tools From Japan

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Commission determination to conduct a full five-year 
review concerning the antidumping duty order on professional electric

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice that it will proceed with a 
full review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. Sec. 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether revocation of the 
antidumping duty order on professional electric cutting tools from 
Japan 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. Sec. 1675(c)(5)(B); a schedule for the 
review will be established and announced at a later date. For further

application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,
