SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On November 4, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group responses to its notice of institution (64 FR 41949, August 2, 1999) were adequate and the respondent interested party group responses were inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews.1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act. A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's web site. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Commissioner Koplan and Commissioner Askey dissenting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staff report A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on February 28, 2000, and made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews. 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 reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution,2 and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before March 2, 2000, and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an [[Page 62688]] interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by March 2, 2000. 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 Consolidated International Auto to be individually 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 these reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (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. Determinations The Commission has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). Authority: These reviews are 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.
