SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On March 8, 2010, the
Commission determined that it should proceed to a full review in the
subject five-year review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act (75

interested party group response to its notice of institution (74 FR
62817, December 1, 2009) was adequate and that the respondent
interested party group response was inadequate.\11\ The Commission also
found that other circumstances warranted conducting a full review. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Vice Chairman Daniel R. Pearson and Commissioner Charlotte
R. Lane found that the respondent party group response was adequate.
