SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Effective September 9, 2008, the Commission established a schedule for the conduct of the final phase of the subject investigations (73 FR 54618, September 22, 2008). Although the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) had not yet made its preliminary less than fair value (“LTFV”) determination, the Commission, for purposes of efficiency, included the antidumping duty investigation in the schedule for the countervailing duty investigation. On November 6, 2008, Commerce issued its preliminary antidumping duty determination and postponed its final antidumping duty determination (73 FR 66012). Accordingly, the Commission is issuing the additional scheduling date with respect to the antidumping duty investigation as follows: A supplemental brief addressing only Commerce's final antidumping duty determination is due on March 31, 2009. The brief may not exceed five (5) pages in length.

For further information concerning these investigations see the Commission's notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207).

Authority: These investigations are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.21 of the Commission's rules.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: December 8, 2008.

Secretary to the Commission.
