SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 7, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party response to its notice of institution (63 F.R. 52750, Oct. 1, 1998) of the subject five-year review was adequate. The Commission also determined that the respondent interested party response was inadequate because no respondent interested party responded to the Commission's notice. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review.1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes is available from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's web site. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staff Report A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the review will be placed in the nonpublic record on February 4, 1999, and made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for this review. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules. Written submissions As provided in section 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the review and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution,2 and any party other than an interested party to the review may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are due on or before February 9, 1999, and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review by February 9, 1999. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ The Commission has found the response submitted by Chemical Products Corp. to be adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service. Determination The Commission has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1675(c)(5)(B). Authority: This review is being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
