SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Reopening Record

    In order to assist it in making its determination on remand, the 
Commission is reopening the record in this five-year review for the 
limited purpose of gathering evidence relevant to the subject of the 
importation and production of commodity-grade ball bearings 26 mm or 
less in outer diameter, and competition between such bearings from 
either imported or domestic sources during the period of review and the 
likelihood of such importation, production, or competition upon 
revocation. Any party wishing to submit information on this matter must 
do so by close of business on October 24, 2003. The Commission will 
provide interested parties with 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 five-year 
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 the importation and domestic production of commodity-grade 
ball bearings 26 mm in outer diameter or less and competition between 
such bearings from various sources, 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 smaller than 11-point (Times new roman) and shall be limited to no 
more than 5 double-spaced pages (inclusive of footnotes, tables, 
graphs, exhibits, appendices, etc.). These comments must be filed no 
later than the close of business on October 31, 2003.
    All comments must conform with the provisions of Sec.  201.8 of the 
Commission's rules; any submissions that contain business proprietary 
information (BPI) must also conform with the requirements of Sec. Sec.  
201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. In accordance with 
Sec. Sec.  201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a 
party to the five-year review must be served on all other parties to 
the five-year 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.

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

    Information obtained during the remand proceedings will be released 
to parties under the APO in effect in the five-year review. Pursuant to 
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 
than seven (7) days after publication of this notice 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 proceedings.

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

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: October 14, 2003.
 Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary.
