SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On October 4, 2019, the Commission determined that it

Commission's statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's
statements are available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission's website.

including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
