expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 5, 1999, the Commission determined that the domestic
interested party group response to its notice of institution (63 F.R.
66563, Dec. 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
Commission's web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Staff Report
A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter
of the review will be placed in the nonpublic record on April 2, 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
April 7, 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 April 7, 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 responses submitted by Davis Wire
Corp.; Keystone Steel & Wire Co.; and Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co.,
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).
Authority
This review is being conducted under authority of title VII of the
Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.62
of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: March 9, 1999.

Secretary.
