INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-853-854 (Final)]


In the Matter of Certain Structural Steel Beams From Japan and 
Korea; Notice of Commission Determination Not To Conduct a Portion of 
the Hearing In Camera

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Commission determination not to close any part of the hearing 
to the public.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission has determined to deny the request of 
petitioners Northwestern Steel & Wire Co., Nucor-Yamato Steel Co. and 
TXI-Chaparral Steel, Inc. (collectively ``petitioners'') to conduct a 
portion of its hearing in the above-captioned investigations scheduled 
for April 25, 2000, in camera. See Commission rules 201.13 and 
201.36(b)(4) (19 CFR 201.13 and 201.36(b)(4)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles St. Charles, Office of General 
Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-205-2782. 
Hearing-impaired individuals are advised that information on this 
matter may be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 
202-205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission believes it should conduct 
its business in public in all but the most unusual circumstances. The 
Commission has determined that, in light of the nature of these 
investigations, it will be able to assess adequately all arguments 
raised by petitioners without resorting to the extraordinary measure of 
an in camera hearing. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that 
the public interest would be best served by a hearing that is entirely 
open to the public. See 19 CFR 201.36(c)(1).

    Authority: This notice is provided pursuant to Commission Rule 
201.35(b) (19 CFR 201.35(b)).

    By order of the Commission.
    Issued: April 17, 2000.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
