SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On October 1, 1999, the
Commission determined that responses to its notice of institution of
the subject five-year reviews were such that full reviews pursuant to
section 751(c)(5) of the Act should proceed (64 FR 55961, October 15,
1999). A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement
on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements are available
from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's web site.
Participation in the reviews and public service list.--Persons,
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
reviews.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary
will make BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, provided that the
application is made by 45 days after publication of this notice.
Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined by
19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the reviews. A party granted
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of
institution of the reviews need not reapply for such access. A separate
service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties
authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
Staff report.--The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on July 12, 2000, and a public version
will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the
Commission's rules.
Hearing.--The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on August 1, 2000, at the U.S.
International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission
on or before July 24, 2000. A nonparty who has testimony that may aid
the Commission's deliberations may request permission to present a
short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to
appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should attend a
prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on July 27, 2000, at the
U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Oral testimony and
written materials to be submitted at the public hearing are governed by
sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 207.66 of the Commission's
rules. Parties must submit any request to present a portion of their
hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 days prior to the date of
the hearing.
Written submissions.--Each party to the reviews may submit a
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the
deadline for filing is July 21, 2000. Parties may also file written
testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, as
provided in section 207.24 of the Commission's rules, and posthearing
briefs, which must conform with the provisions of section 207.67 of the
Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing briefs is
August 10, 2000; witness testimony must be filed no later than three
days before the hearing. In addition, any person who has not entered an
appearance as a party to the reviews may submit a written statement of
information pertinent to the subject of the reviews on or before August
10, 2000. On August 30, 2000, the Commission will make available to
parties all information on which they have not had an opportunity to
comment. Parties may submit final comments on this information on or
before September 1, 2000, but such final comments must not contain new
factual information and must otherwise comply with section 207.68 of
the Commission's rules. All written submissions must conform with the
provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions
that contain BPI must also 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.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, each document filed by a party to the 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.
