SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On August 28, 2000, the 
Department of Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on imports of 
tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet from Japan (65 FR 52067). The 
Commission is conducting a review to determine whether revocation of 
the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. It will assess the adequacy of interested party 
responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct 
a full review or an expedited review. The Commission's determination in 
any expedited review will be based on the facts available, which may 
include information provided in response to this notice.

    (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product 
or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in 
characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original

and chromium-coated steel sheet corresponding to Commerce's definition 
of the scope of the investigation.
    (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the 
Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of 
the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total 
domestic production of the product. In its original determination, the 
Commission defined the Domestic Industry as domestic producers of tin- 
and chromium-coated steel sheet.

employees. Former employees may seek informal advice from Commission 
ethics officials with respect to this and the related issue of whether
