SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On February 4, 1999, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (63 FR 58761, Nov. 2, 1998) of the subject five-year review
was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response
was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances
that would warrant conducting a full review.1 Accordingly,
the Commission determined that it would conduct an expedited review
pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 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

Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the
subject matter of the review will be placed in the nonpublic record on
March 4, 1999, and made available to persons on the Administrative
Protective Order service list for this review. 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 review
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of
institution,2 and any party other than an interested party
to the review may file written comments with the Secretary on what
determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are
due on or before March 9, 1999, and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review
nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review
by March 9, 1999. 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 responses submitted by ASHTA
Chemicals, Inc.; HoltraChem Manufacturing Co., L.L.C.; Niklor
Chemical Co., Inc.; and Trinity Manufacturing, Inc. 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 the review must be served on all other
parties to the review (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.
Determination.--The Commission has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19
U.S.C. Sec. 1675(c)(5)(B).

title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
