INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 701-TA-373 and 731-TA-770-775 (Review)]


Stainless Steel Wire Rod From Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden, 
and Taiwan

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Commission determinations to conduct full five-year 
reviews concerning the countervailing duty order on stainless steel 
wire rod from Italy and the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel 
wire rod from Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice that it will proceed with 
full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether revocation of the 
countervailing duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Italy and 
the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel wire rod from Italy, 
Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. A schedule for the reviews will be established and 
announced at a later date. For further information concerning the 
conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A 
through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 
CFR part 207).

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 4, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 4, 2003, the Commission

year reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act. The Commission 
found that the domestic interested party group response to its notice 
of institution (68 FR 45277, August 1, 2003) was adequate. The 
respondent interested party group responses concerning stainless steel 
wire rod from Italy and Korea were found by the Commission to be 
adequate but the respondent interested party group responses concerning 
stainless steel wire rod from Japan, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan were 
found by the Commission to be inadequate. The Commission also 
determined that other circumstances warranted conducting full reviews 
of all subject orders. 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.

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of
