further determines that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
industrial nitrocellulose from Yugoslavia would not be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.

permitted to appear in person or by counsel.

    \4\ The Commission subsequently revised its schedule, publishing 
its notice in the Federal Register on February 7, 2000 (65 FR 5889). 
The Commission later revised the schedule again, publishing the 
second revised notice on June 26, 2000 (65 FR 39426).
