SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Effective April 10, 2002, the Commission established a schedule for the conduct of the final phase of the subject investigations (67 FR 22105, May 2, 2002) based on the scheduled date of the earliest final determination by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) in the subject investigations. Commerce aligned the final countervailing duty determinations with the earliest final determination in the subject antidumping duty investigations (67 FR 12524, March 19, 2002) and subsequently extended the date for its final determinations in the subject antidumping duty investigations from June 17, 2002, to August 23, 2002 (67 FR 17367, April 10, 2002; 67 FR 17379, April 10, 2002; 67 FR 17389, April 10, 2002; 67 FR 18165, April 15, 2002; 67 FR 20728, April 26, 2002; and 67 FR 32013, May 13, 2002). The Commission, therefore, is revising its schedule to conform with Commerce's new schedule.

The Commission's new schedule for the investigations is as follows: requests to appear at the hearing must be filed with the Secretary to the Commission not later than August 19, 2002; the prehearing conference will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on August 22, 2002; the prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on August 14, 2002; the deadline for filing prehearing briefs is August 21, 2002; the hearing will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on August 27, 2002; the deadline for filing posthearing briefs is September 4, 2002; the Commission will make its final release of information on September 18, 2002; and final party comments are due on September 20, 2002.
