AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Scheduling of full five-year reviews concerning the
countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on certain stainless
steel plate from Belgium, Canada, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and
Taiwan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the
countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on certain stainless
steel plate from Belgium, Canada, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and

material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 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). For further

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

organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, 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
