SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 3, 2005, the Commission 
instituted a five-year review concerning the antidumping duty order on 
gray portland cement and cement clinker from Mexico (70 F.R. 57617). On 
January 6, 2006, the Commission determined that it should proceed to a 
full review in the subject five-year review pursuant to section 
751(c)(5) of the Act (71 F.R. 2957, January 18, 2006).
    On March 6, 2006, the Office of the United States Trade 
Representative and the United States Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') entered into an agreement with the Secretaria de 
Economia of Mexico pertaining to imports of gray portland cement and 
clinker from Mexico (``Agreement''). The Agreement provides that, if 
Mexican Cement producers successfully abide by the terms of the 
Agreement for three years, the antidumping duty order will be revoked 
with respect to those producers. Pursuant to Section II.A.4.d. of the 
Mexican Cement Agreement, Commerce has ``[s]uspended the 2005 Sunset 
Review of the Mexican Cement Order.'' \1\ Thus, Commerce has not issued 
a schedule for conducting its 2005 Sunset Review, including setting a 
date when it intends to issue the final determination for its review. 
Accordingly, the Commission has postponed establishing a schedule in 
its related full five-year review until such time as Commerce issues a 
schedule or announces a final affirmative determination in its 2005 
Sunset Review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section I.V. of the Agreement defines ``2005 Sunset Review'' 
as ``the five year review of the Mexican Cement Order under 19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)) initiated by DOC on October 3, 2005.''

    Authority: This notice is published pursuant to Sec.  207.62 of 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Commission's rules.

    Issued: April 12, 2006.

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