SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Reopening Record

    In order to assist it in making its determination on remand, the 
Commission is reopening the record in these reviews for the limited 
purpose of obtaining certain data that exclude floor plate from Belgian 
producers. This action is taken pursuant to the decision of the U.S. 
Court of International Trade in Usinor, Industeel, S.A. v. United 
States, Slip Op. 02-152 (Dec. 20, 2002), holding that the Commission 
must review certain data without consideration of Belgian floor plate 
data as a result of the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 
Federal Circuit in Duferco Steel, Inc. v. United States, No. 01-1443 
(July 12, 2002). The Commission will provide the parties in Consol. 
Court No. 01-00006 an opportunity to file comments on any new 
information received pertaining to that subject.

Participation in the Proceedings

    Only those persons who were interested parties to the original 
administrative proceedings and are also parties to the ongoing 
litigation (i.e., persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service 
list and parties to Consol. Court No. 01-00006) may participate in 
these remand proceedings.

Limited Disclosure of Business Proprietary Information (BPI) Under an 
Administrative Protective Order (APO) and BPI Service List

    Information obtained during the remand investigations will be 
released to parties under the administrative protective order (``APO'') 
in effect in the original reviews. Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the 
Commission's rules, the Secretary will make business proprietary 
information gathered in the reviews and in these remand investigations 
available to additional authorized applicants that are not covered 
under the original APO, provided that the application is made not later 
than seven days after publication of the Commission's notice of 
reopening the record on remand in the Federal Register. Applications 
must be filed for persons on the Judicial Protective Order in the 
related CIT case, but not covered under the original APO. A separate 
service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties 
authorized to receive BPI under the APO in these remand investigations.

    Authority: This action is taken under the authority of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, title VII.
