INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. AA1921-188 (Review)]

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Scheduling of an expedited five-year review concerning the
antidumping duty order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from
Japan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of an
expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation
of the antidumping duty order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand

material injury. For further information concerning the conduct of this
review 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 4, 1998, the Commission determined that the
[[Page 70159]]
domestic interested party response to its notice of institution (63 FR
46477, September 1, 1998) of the subject five-year review was adequate.
The Commission also determined that, because there was no respondent
interested party response, such response was inadequate. The Commission
did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting a
full review. Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would
conduct an expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act. A
record of the Commissioners' votes and statements by Commissioners, if
any, are 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 December 31,
1998, 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 adequate responses to the notice of institution,1
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
January 6, 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 January
6, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission has found responses submitted by American
Spring Wire, Florida Wire and Cable, Insteel Wire Products, and
Sumiden Wire Products, 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.
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.
Issued: December 15, 1998.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
