INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION


Notice of Opportunity To Comment on Draft Questionnaires To Be 
Issued in Connection With Investigation Under Section 202 of the Trade 
Act of 1974 on Certain Steel Products

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Opportunity to comment on draft questionnaires.

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

SUMMARY: On June 22, 2001, the Commission received a request from the 
United States Trade Representative to institute an investigation under 
section 202 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2252) to determine 
whether certain steel products are being imported into the United 
States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of 
serious injury, or the threat of serious injury, to the domestic 
industries producing like or directly competitive products.
    Although the Commission has not formally instituted the 
investigation, it is in the process of finalizing questionnaires to be 
sent to domestic producers, importers, purchasers, and foreign 
producers once the investigation is instituted. On June 28, 2001, the 
Commission posted on its web site, for public comment, draft 
questionnaires to be issued in connection with the investigation. The 
web site can be accessed at http://www.usitc.gov.
    Because time is of the essence, comments must be received in 
writing not later than 10 a.m. Monday, July 2, 2001. No requests for 
late filing will be accepted. Comments (an original and 14 copies) must 
be filed with the Secretary to the Commission, 500 E Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20436. Neither facsimile copies nor electronic filings 
will be accepted. There is no service requirement. Comments will be 
available for public inspection in the Office of the Secretary and 
electronically through the Commission's EDIS system.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Contact Vera Libeau, Office of Investigations, 
202-205-3176. Hearing-impaired persons can obtain information on this 
matter by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. 
Persons with mobility impairments who will need special assistance in 
gaining access to the Commission should contact the Office of the 
Secretary at 202-205-2000.

    Issued: June 26, 2001.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
