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
of the antidumping duty orders on chrome-plated lug nuts from China and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 4, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic
interested party group responses to its notice of institution (64 FR
41949, August 2, 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. 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 February 28,
2000, 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
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are
due on or before March 2, 2000, and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year
reviews nor an
[[Page 62688]]
interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not
contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by March
2, 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 response submitted by
Consolidated International Auto 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 these 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. 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
