SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On October 6, 2009, the
Commission determined that responses to its notice of institution of
the subject five-year review were such that a full review pursuant to
section 751(c)(5) of the Act should proceed (74 FR 54068, October 21,
2009). 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 review 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 this review 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
review 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
review.
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 this review available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the review, 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 review. A party granted
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of
institution of the review 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 review will be
placed in the nonpublic record on April 14, 2010, and a public version

at the hearing and make oral presentations should attend a prehearing
conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on April 30, 2010, at the U.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

all information on which they have not had an opportunity to comment.
Parties may submit final comments on this information on or before June

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

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.
