SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Reopening Record
In October 2001, the Commission made negligibility determinations
in antidumping investigations regarding wire rod imports from Egypt,
South Africa and Venezuela, and terminated those investigations
pursuant to statute. The Commission's determinations were appealed to
the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT). On June 20, 2002, the CIT
issued an opinion requiring the Commission to reconsider its
terminations given the modified scope of investigations issued by the
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') on April 10, 2002 ( 67 FR
17,384). The Commission was given until August 2, 2002, or 43 days, in
which to comply with the Court's remand order and issue remand
determinations.
In order to assist it in making its determinations on remand, the
Commission is reopening the record on remand in these investigations to
include in the record the modified scope issued by Commerce in April,
2002, and to obtain import data corresponding to that modified scope of
investigations regarding subject wire rod imports from all sources. The
record in these proceedings will encompass the material from the record
of the original preliminary investigations, information and import data
submitted to and gathered by Commission staff during the remand
proceedings, and Commerce's modified April 10, 2002 scope (67 FR
17,384).
Participation in the Proceedings
Due to the strict time constraints in this remand proceeding, and
the limited nature of the remand, only those parties to the original
administrative proceedings may participate in the Commission's remand
proceedings. No additional filings with the Commission will be
necessary for these parties to participate in these remand proceedings.
Nature of the Remand Proceedings
On July 12, 2002, the Commission will make available to parties who
may participate in the remand proceedings, information that has been
gathered by or submitted to the Commission as part of these remand
proceedings. Parties that are participating in the remand proceedings
may file comments on or before July 16, 2002 on whether any new
information received affects the Commission's negligibility
determinations in these investigations. These comments should not
exceed ten double-spaced typewritten pages.
All written submissions must conform with the provisions of section
201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain business
proprietary information (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. Each document filed by a
party participating in the remand investigation must be served on all
other parties who may participate in the remand investigation (as
identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate
of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a
document for filing without a certificate of service. Parties are also
advised to consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,
part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subpart
A (19 CFR part 207) for provisions of general applicability concerning
written submissions to the Commission.
Limited Disclosure of Business Proprietary Information (BPI) Under an
Administrative Protective Order (APO) and BPI Service List
Information obtained during the remand investigation will be
released to the above-referenced parties, as appropriate, under the
administrative protective order (``APO'') in effect in the original
investigation. A separate service list will be maintained by the
Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO in
this remand investigation.
Authority: This action is taken under the authority of the
Tariff Act of 1930, title VII.
Issued: July 3, 2002.
By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary.
