the Netherlands

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Scheduling of a full five-year review concerning the 
antidumping duty order investigation on Aramid Fiber Formed of Poly 
Para-Phenylene Terephthalamide from the Netherlands.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of a full 
review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the

U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). For further information concerning the conduct of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On March 3, 2000, the Commission determined that

were such that a full review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act 
should proceed (65 FR 13988, March 15, 2000). 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.

organizations, wishing to participate in this review as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in Sec. 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 
review 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

are parties to the review. A party granted access to BPI following

maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI 
under the APO.
