their representatives to gather evidence relevant to the subject of

The Commission will provide interested parties with an opportunity to 
file comments on any new information received pertaining to that 
subject.

review (i.e., persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service 
list) may participate in these remand proceedings.

Written Submissions

    Each party who is an interested party in this remand proceeding may 
submit one set of written comments to the Commission. These comments 
must be concise and must be limited specifically to commenting on the 
issue of Japanese producers' reported production and production 
capacity information for tapered roller bearings for their Japanese 
facilities, and to any related new information obtained by the 
Commission during the remand proceedings. Any material in the 
interested parties' comments that does not address these limited issues 
will be stricken from the record. No new factual information may be 
included in such comments. Comments shall be submitted in a font of no

Limited Disclosure of BPI Under an Administrative Protective Order

Sec.  207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make BPI 
gathered in the five-year review and in these remand proceedings 
available to additional authorized applicants, that are not covered 
under the original APO, provided that the application is made not later
