SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department has prepared a revised

antidumping questionnaire for use in new investigations and

administrative reviews under the statute, as revised by the URAA. To

ensure that the revised questionnaire conforms to the changes in the

statute, and simplifies and streamlines the administrative process to

the fullest extent possible, we are requesting comments from interested

persons. To simplify the processing and distribution of public comments

on the Department's revised antidumping questionnaire, parties are

encouraged to submit documents in electronic form accompanied by one

original and three paper copies. All documents filed in electronic form

should be on DOS formatted 3.5'' diskettes, and be prepared in either

WordPerfect format or a format that the WordPerfect program can convert

and import into WordPerfect. Comments on diskette should be isolated on

a separate file on the diskette by section of the questionnaire (i.e.,

comments on section A of the questionnaire should be isolated on a file

separate from comments on section B, etc.).
