SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of
expedited reviews 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic
interested party group responses to its notice of institution (64 FR
35691, July 1, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Staff Report
A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter
of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on December 28,
1999, 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
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are
due on or before January 3, 2000, and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the
reviews by January 3, 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 responses submitted by Alloy
Piping Products, Inc.; Flowline Division of Markovitz Enterprises,
Inc.; Gerlin, Inc.; and Taylor Forge Stainless, Inc. 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 the 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.
Sec. 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.
Issued: October 8, 1999.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
