SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On February 5, 2010, 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 (75 FR 18237, April 9, 2010).\1\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Specifically, the Commission found that the domestic
interested party group response to its notice of institution (74 FR
56666, November 2, 2009) was adequate and that the respondent
interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission also
found that other circumstances warranted conducting a full review.
Commissioners Charlotte R. Lane, Irving A. Williamson, and Dean A.
Pinkert found that no other circumstances warranted conducting a
full review and voted for an expedited review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 July 12, 2010, 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
review beginning at 9:30 a.m. on July 29, 2010, at the U.S.
International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission
on or before July 23, 2010. 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 July 28, 2010, 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

information pertinent to the subject of the review on or before August
6, 2010. On August 26, 2010, 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 August 30, 2010, 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

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 review must be served on
all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or

The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a
