Background
On November 5, 1998, the Commission determined that responses to
its notice of institution of the subject five-year review were such
that a full review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act should
proceed (63 FR 63747, November 16, 1998) . A record of the
Commissioners' votes and statements of Chairman Lynn M. Bragg and
Commissioner Carol T. Crawford are available from the Office of the
Secretary and at the Commission's web site.

Persons, including industrial users of the subject merchandise and,
if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in this review as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the
review need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
review.

19 U.S.C. Sec. 1677(9), who are parties to the review. A party granted

authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
