expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation

general application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 4, 2001, the Commission determined that the domestic 
interested party group responses to its notice of institution (66 FR 
29831, June 1, 2001) were adequate and the respondent interested party 
group responses were inadequate. The Commission did not find any other 
circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews.\1\ 
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited 
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's 
statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements 
will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the 
Commission's web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Staff Report

    A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter 
of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on October 15, 
2001, and made available to persons on the Administrative Protective 
Order service list for these reviews. A public version will be issued 
thereafter, pursuant to Sec. 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.

Written Submissions

    As provided in section 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, 
interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have 
provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before October 17, 2001, and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year 
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement 
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the 
reviews by October 17, 2001. However, should Commerce extend the time 
limit for its completion of the final results of its review, the 
deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) 
on Commerce's final results is three business days after the issuance 
of Commerce's results. If comments contain business proprietary 
information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of 
Secs. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by American 
Italian Pasta Co., Borden Foods Corp., Dakota Growers Pasta Co., and 
New World Pasta Co. (all U.S. producers of pasta); by Molisana U.S., 
Inc. and Rienzi & Sons, Inc. (both U.S. importers of Italian 
product); and by La Molisana Industrie Alimentari S.p.A. and N. 
Puglisi & F. Industria Paste Alimentari S.p.A. (both producers in 
Italy of pasta) to be individually adequate. Comments from other 
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Secs. 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the 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.

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to Sec. 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    Issued: September 27, 2001.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
