SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On October 8, 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 56048, October 20, 1998). A record of the
Commissioners' votes and a statement by Commissioner Carol T. Crawford
are available from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's
web site.
Participation in the review and public service list.--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 Sec. 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by January 4, 1999.
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.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to Sec. 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will
make BPI gathered in this review available to authorized applicants
under the APO issued in the review, provided that the application is
made no later than January 4, 1999. Authorized applicants must
represent interested parties, as defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are
parties to the review. A party granted access to BPI following
publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the review
need not reapply for such access. A separate service list will be
maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI
under the APO.
Staff report.--The prehearing staff report in the review will be
placed in the nonpublic record on April 19, 1999, and a public version
will be issued thereafter, pursuant to Sec. 207.64 of the Commission's
rules.

review beginning at 9:30 a.m. on May 6, 1999, at the U.S. International
Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the hearing should be
filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission on or before
April 27, 1999. A nonparty who has testimony that may aid the
Commission's deliberations may request permission to present a short

at the hearing and make oral presentations should attend a prehearing
conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on April 29, 1999, at the U.S.

rules. Parties must submit any request to present a portion of their
hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 days prior to the date of

prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with
the provisions of Sec. 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the deadline

pertinent to the subject of the review on or before May 18, 1999. On
June 9, 1999, the Commission will make available to parties all
information on which they have not had an opportunity to comment.
Parties may submit final comments on this information on or before June
11, 1999, but such final comments must not contain new factual

that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of

Secretary by facsimile or electronic means.

rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on
all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or

The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a
certificate of service.
