SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 4, 2003, the Commission determined that responses to
its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews were such
that full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act should
proceed (68 FR 65085, November 18, 2003). A record of the
Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner's statements are available from the Office of
the Secretary and at the Commission's web site.
Participation in the Reviews and Public Service List
Persons, including industrial users of the subject merchandise and,
if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
reviews.
Limited Disclosure of Business Proprietary Information (BPI) Under
an Administrative Protective Order (APO) and BPI Service List
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the
Secretary will make BPI gathered in these reviews available to
authorized applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, provided
that the application is made by 45 days after publication of this
notice. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as
defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the reviews. A party
granted access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice
of institution of the reviews need not reapply for such access. A
separate service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those
parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
