SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On October 4, 2022, the 
Commission determined that responses to its notice of institution of 
the subject five-year review were such that a full review should 
proceed (87 FR 75067, December 7, 2022); accordingly, a full review is 
being scheduled pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). A record of the Commissioners' votes, the 
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.
    Participation in the review and public service list.--Persons, 
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations, wishing to participate in this review 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 
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance 
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the 
review need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary 
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses 
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
review.

Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined by 
19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the review. A party granted
