a portion of its hearing in the above-captioned investigation scheduled 
for April 15, 1999, in camera. See Commission rules 201.13 and 
201.35(b)(3) (19 CFR 201.13 and 201.35(b)(3)).

Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-205-3091, 
e-mail [email protected]. Hearing-impaired individuals are advised 
that information on this matter may be obtained by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission believes it should conduct 
its business in public in all but the most unusual circumstances. The 
Commission has determined that, in light of the nature of this 
investigation, it will be able to assess adequately all arguments 
raised by the parties without resorting to the extraordinary measure of 
an in camera hearing. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that 
the public interest would be best served by a hearing that is entirely 
open to the public. See 19 CFR 201.36(c)(1).

    Authority: This notice is provided pursuant to Commission Rule 
201.35(b) (19 CFR 201.35(b)).

    Issued: April 15, 1999.

    By order of the Commission.

Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
