SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On August 18, 2005, 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 (70 FR 49680, August 24,
2005). 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.
Staff report.--The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on February 10, 2006, and a public
version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the
Commission's rules.
Hearing.--The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on March 2, 2006, at the U.S.
International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the
[[Page 55918]]
Commission on or before February 23, 2006. A nonparty who has testimony
that may aid the Commission's deliberations may request permission to
present a short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties
desiring to appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should
attend a prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on February 27,
2006, at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Oral
testimony and written materials to be submitted at the public hearing
are governed by sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 207.66 of
the Commission's rules. Parties must submit any request to present a
portion of their hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 business
days prior to the date of the hearing.
Written submissions.--Each party to the reviews may submit a
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the
deadline for filing is February 21, 2006. Parties may also file written

Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing briefs is March

before the hearing. In addition, any person who has not entered an
appearance as a party to the reviews may submit a written statement of
information pertinent to the subject of the reviews on or before March
13, 2006. On April 4, 2006, the Commission will make available to
parties all information on which they have not had an opportunity to
comment. Parties may submit final comments on this information on or
before April 6, 2006, but such final comments must not contain new
factual information and must otherwise comply with section 207.68 of
the Commission's rules. All written submissions must conform with the
provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions
that contain BPI must also 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
facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by
section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036
(November 8, 2002). Even where electronic filing of a document is
permitted, certain documents must also be filed in paper form, as
specified in II(C) of the Commission's Handbook on Electronic Filing
Procedures, 67 FR 68168, 68173 (November 8, 2002).
Additional written submissions to the Commission, including
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on
all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or
