SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 4, 2004, the Commission issued a schedule for the conduct of the final phase of the subject investigation (69 FR 60423, October 8, 2004). Subsequently, counsel on behalf of petitioners in this investigation ^[1] requested that the Commission extend the deadline for filing posthearing briefs on issues related to tissue paper (also applicable to the deadline for the submission of a written statement of information on issues related to tissue paper by any person who has not entered an appearance as a party to the investigation) by one week or more (letter from Collier Shannon Scott, PLLC to Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary, October 21, 2004). Upon consideration of the reasons stated for the request, including an overlapping deadline with a related filing on crepe paper from China, the Commission is revising its schedule to extend the deadline for filing posthearing briefs and written statements by non-parties on issues related to tissue paper from January 5, 2005, to January 12, 2005.
