THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996 PERIOD AND PUBLISHED THE FINAL
RESULTS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON APRIL 15, 1998.

2. IMPORTS COVERED BY THE REVIEW ARE HOT-ROLLED BARS AND RODS

REVIEW ARE OTHER ALLOY STEELS (AS DEFINED BY THE HARMONIZED
TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES (HTSUS) CHAPTER 72,
NOTE 1 (F)), EXCEPT STEELS CLASSIFIED AS OTHER ALLOY STEELS
BY REASON OF CONTAINING BY WEIGHT 0.4 PERCENT OR MORE OF
