ACTION: Notice of Commission determinations to conduct full five-year 
reviews concerning the countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders 
on certain cooking ware from China, Korea, Mexico, and Taiwan.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice that it will proceed with 
full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether revocation of the 
countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on certain cooking ware 
from China, Korea, Mexico, and Taiwan would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. A schedule for the reviews will be established and 
announced at a later date.

    For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and 
rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 
201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Recent 
amendments to the Rules of Practice and Procedure pertinent to five-
year reviews, including the text of subpart F of part 207, are 
published at 63 F.R. 30599, June 5, 1998, and may be downloaded from

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 6, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 6, 1999, the Commission determined 
that it should proceed to full reviews in the subject five-year reviews 
pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act. The Commission, in 
consultation with the Department of Commerce, grouped these reviews 
because they involve similar domestic like products. See 19 U.S.C. 
1675(c)(5)(D); 63 FR 29372, 29374 (May 29, 1998).

    With regard to certain cooking ware from Korea and Mexico, the 
Commission found that both the domestic interested party group response 
and the respondent interested party group responses to its notice of 
institution <SUP>2</SUP> were adequate and voted to conduct full 
reviews.

    \2\ The notice of institution for all of the subject reviews was 
published in the Federal Register on Feb. 1, 1999 (64 FR 4896).

    With regard to certain cooking ware from China and Taiwan, the 
Commission found that the domestic interested party group response was 
adequate and the respondent interested party group responses were 
inadequate. The Commission also found that other circumstances 
warranted conducting full reviews.<SUP>3</SUP>

    \3\ Commissioner Crawford dissenting.

    A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on 
adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements will be
