SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On September 6, 2002, the Commission determined that 
the domestic interested party response to its notice of institution (67 
FR 38333, June 3, 2002) was adequate and the respondent interested 
party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any 
other circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review.\1\ 
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an 
expedited review 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 review will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
October 3, 2002, and made available to persons on the Administrative 
Protective Order service list for this review. A public version will be 
issued thereafter, pursuant to section 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 review 
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
review may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are 
due on or before October 8, 2002, and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review 
nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which 
shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review 
by October 8, 2002. 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 sections 201.6, 207.3, and 
207.7 of the Commission's rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the response submitted by FMC 
Corporation to be individually adequate. Comments from other 
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission's rules do not authorize filing of submissions with 
the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means. In accordance with 
sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a 
party to the review must be served on all other parties to the review 
(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: This review is being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act
