Certain Iron Castings From Brazil, Canada, China, and India
AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Commission determination to conduct full five-year
reviews concerning the countervailing duty orders on iron metal
castings from India and heavy iron construction castings from Brazil
and the antidumping duty orders on iron construction castings from
Brazil, Canada, and China.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice that it will proceed with
full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether revocation of the
countervailing duty orders on iron metal castings from India and heavy
iron construction castings from Brazil and the antidumping duty orders
on iron construction castings from Brazil, Canada, and China would be
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within
a reasonably foreseeable time. A schedule for the reviews will be
established and announced at a later date.
For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and
rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part
201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Recent
amendments to the Rules of Practice and Procedure pertinent to five-
year reviews, including the text of subpart F of part 207, are
published at 63 FR 30599, June 5, 1998, and may be downloaded from the
Commission's World Wide Web site at http://www.usitc.gov/rules.htm.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 4, 1999, the Commission
determined that it should proceed to full reviews in the subject five-
year reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act. The Commission,
in consultation with the Department of Commerce, grouped these reviews
because they involve similar domestic like products. See 19 U.S.C.
1675(c)(5)(D); 63 FR 29372, 29374 (May 29, 1998).
With regard to iron metal castings from India, Inv. No. 303-TA-13

group response and the respondent interested party group response to
its notice of institution 1 were adequate and voted to
conduct a full review.
