expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On April 6, 2004, the 
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response 
to its notice of institution (69 FR 101, January 2, 2004) of the 
subject five-year review was adequate and that 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 
May 10, 2004, 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 May 13, 2004, 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 May 13, 2004. However, should the Department of 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. The Commission's 
rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the Secretary by 
facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by 
section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036 
(November 8, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted on behalf 
of American Spring Wire Corp., Insteel Wire Products Co., and 
Sumiden Wire Corp. to be individually adequate. Comments from other 
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
    Determination.--The Commission has determined to exercise its 
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

    Authority: This review is being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    Issued: April 14, 2004.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
