SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic
interested party group responses to its notice of institution (64 FR
35687, July 1, 1999) were adequate 1 and the respondent
interested party group responses were inadequate. The Commission did
not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full
reviews.2 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it
would conduct expedited pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.
