Specifically, we require the Joint Applicants to (1) supply translations of foreign language documents that the Joint Applicants have deemed relevant, (2) supply a privilege log, as required by Department regulations, and further explanations for the redaction or withholding of documents, and (3) provide satisfactory narrative responses to the two questions posed in Attachment B to this Order, which will afford the Department a basis upon which to adjudicate issues of "domestic spillover" effects that may be raised in this proceeding by interested parties. Subject to a review of the information requested herein, the Department will promptly establish a procedural schedule.
