DECISION
The judgment of the United States Court of International Trade, No 88-08-00690, dismissing Potter-Roemer, Inc.'s action is affirmed.
OPINION
Our review of the record and the parties' written and oral arguments convinces us that the court correctly found that Potter-Roemer, Inc. "had a fair opportunity to participate" because the notices ITA gave are "adequate." Consequently, as admitted by counsel, Potter-Roemer, Inc. lacked standing to challenge the ITA determination.* Cf. Miller & Co. v. United States, 824 F.2d 961, 962-63 (Fed.Cir.1987), cert. denied, 108 S.Ct. 773 (1988). Though the trial court dismissed for lack of "jurisdiction", the proper basis is lack of standing on the part of Potter-Roemer, Inc.
In response to a question from the bench at oral argument, counsel for Potter-Roemer, Inc. answered: "If the notice is adequate we lack standing."
