(ALPPA), a domestic interested party, notified Commerce of its intent 
to participate within the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR

the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average margins 
up to: 132.63 percent for China; 50.55 percent for India; 12.32 percent 
for Canada; 10.26 percent for Greece; 20.39 percent for Korea; and 2.57
