expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On January 6, 2006, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(70 FR 57617, October 3, 2005) of the subject 5-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\ Chairman Stephen Koplan and Commissioner Charlotte R. Lane 
dissenting. 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 
April 27, 2006, 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 3, 2006 and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the 5-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 3, 2006. 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 Filing 
Procedures, 67 FR 68168, 68173 (November 8, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by the 
Committee for Fairly Traded Japanese Cement ; the International 
Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, 
Forgers and Helpers; the United Steel, Paper & Forestry, Rubber, 
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union; the International Union of Operating Engineers; 
and Local Lodge 93, International Association of Machinists and 
Aerospace Workers 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
