1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background. On September 7, 2005, the Commission determined that 
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of 
institution (70 FR 31537, June 1, 2005) 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.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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.
    \2\ Commissioner Pearson dissented and Commissioner Aranoff did 
not participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff report. A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the review will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
October 6, 2005, 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,\3\ 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 October 12, 2005 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 October 12, 2005. 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). Even where electronic filing of a document is 
permitted, certain documents must also be filed in paper form, as 
specified in II (C) of the Commission's Handbook on Electronic

    \3\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by Diamond 
Sparkler Manufacturing Co., Inc. and Elkton Sparkler Co., Inc. 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
