SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Effective April 15, 2010, the Commission established a schedule for the conduct of a full five-year review concerning the antidumping duty order on natural bristle paint brushes from China (75 FR 21347, April 23, 2010). On April 23, 2010, the domestic interested parties withdrew their participation in the Commission's review. On May 7, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce received a request for a changed circumstances review to revoke the antidumping duty order based on an expression of no interest. Commerce published its notice of initiation and preliminary results of the changed circumstances review as well as its intent to revoke the order on June 16, 2010 (75 FR 34097). In light of these developments, the Commission is revising its schedule. The Commission has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

The Commission's new schedule for the subject review is as follows: The prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on November 17, 2010; the deadline for filing prehearing briefs is November 24, 2010; requests to appear at the hearing must be filed with the Secretary to the Commission not later than November 26, 2010; the prehearing conference will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on December 1, 2010; the hearing will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on December 2, 2010; the deadline for filing posthearing briefs is December 9, 2010; the Commission will make its final release of information on January 4, 2011; and final party comments are due on January 6, 2011.
