SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 11, 2007, the Commission 
established a schedule for the conduct of the subject full five-year 
reviews (72 FR 2556, January 19, 2007), in which it determined to 
exercise its authority to extend the full review period by up to 90 
days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B) based on the Department of 
Commerce's scheduled final determination date of June 22, 2007, for the 
review concerning the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled steel from 
the Netherlands. However, on March 1, 2007, the Department of Commerce 
initiated proceedings to implement the World Trade Organization 
(``WTO'') panel's report consistent with section 129 of the URAA in the 
antidumping duty investigation concerning hot-rolled steel from the 
Netherlands (See Implementation of the Findings of the WTO Panel in 
U.S. Zeroing (EC): Notice of Initiation of Proceedings Under Section 
129 of the URAA; Opportunity to Request Administrative Protective 
Orders; and Proposed Timetable and Procedures (72 F.R. 9306)). In its 
Preliminary Results for the Section 129 Determinations (http://ia.ita.doc.gov/download/zeroing/20070222-Zeroing-Prelim-Decision-Memo.pdf), the Department of Commerce preliminarily recalculated the 
weighted-average dumping margin concerning the antidumping duty order 
on hot-rolled steel from the Netherlands as follows: ``The margin for 
Corus Staal BV, the sole respondent, decreases from 2.59 percent to 
zero. Since Corus Staal BV was the only respondent in the 
investigation, if this margin remains at zero or de minimis for the 
final recalculation, this order will be revoked.'' The United States 
has indicated that it will implement the recommendations and rulings of 
the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) by April 9, 2007. In light of 
Commerce's preliminary determinations in the Section 129 proceedings 
concerning hot-rolled steel from the Netherlands and in order to ensure 
that it meets its statutory deadlines, the Commission therefore is 
revising its schedule for the subject full five-year reviews.
    The Commission's new schedule for the full five-year reviews is as 
follows: the prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic 
record on July 11, 2007; the deadline for filing prehearing briefs is 
July 20, 2007; requests to appear at the hearing should be filed in 
writing with the Secretary to the Commission on or before July 20, 
2007; the prehearing conference will be held at the U.S. International 
Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on July 25, 2007; a two-day 
hearing will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission 
Building at 9:30 a.m. on July 31 and August 1, 2007; the deadline for 
filing posthearing briefs is August 23, 2007; the final staff report 
will be placed in the nonpublic record on September 21, 2007; the 
Commission will make its final release of information on October 2, 
2007; and final party comments are due on October 4, 2007.

Commission's notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and 
part 207, subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207).

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to section 207.21 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 15, 2007.
