AGENCY: International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Scheduling of expedited five-year reviews concerning the

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of
expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of

of the countervailing duty order on heavy iron construction castings
from Brazil, the antidumping duty order on heavy iron construction
castings from Canada, and/or the revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on iron construction castings (heavy and light) from Brazil and
China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material
injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. For further information

application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. On January 4, 2005, the Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
(69 FR 58952, October 1, 2004) of the subject five-year reviews was
adequate and that the respondent interested parties responses were
inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that
would warrant conducting full reviews.\1\ Accordingly, the Commission
determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section
751(c)(3) of the Act.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews

information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the
reviews by May 10, 2005. 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

(November 8, 2002).
