SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On September 6, 2019, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews
were such that full reviews should proceed (84 FR 50474, September 25,
2019); accordingly, full reviews are being scheduled pursuant to
section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). A
record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on
adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements are available
from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.
Participation in these reviews and public service list.--Persons,
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
review.
For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and
rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201),
and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary
will make BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, provided that the
application is made by 45 days after publication of this notice.
Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined by
19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the reviews. A party granted
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of
institution of the reviews need not reapply for such access. A separate
service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties
authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
Staff report.--The prehearing staff report in these reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on May 28, 2020, and a public version
will be issued
[[Page 14507]]
thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the Commission's rules.
Hearing.--The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 16, 2020, at the U.S.
International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission
on or before June 9, 2020. A nonparty who has testimony that may aid
the Commission's deliberations may request permission to present a
short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to
appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should participate in
a prehearing conference to be held on June 15, 2020, at the U.S.
International Trade Commission Building, if deemed necessary. Oral
testimony and written materials to be submitted at the public hearing
are governed by sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 207.66 of
the Commission's rules. Parties must submit any request to present a
portion of their hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 business
days prior to the date of the hearing.
Written submissions.--Each party to the reviews may submit a
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the
deadline for filing is June 8, 2020. Parties may also file written
testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, as
provided in section 207.24 of the Commission's rules, and posthearing
briefs, which must conform with the provisions of section 207.67 of the
Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing briefs is June
25, 2020. In addition, any person who has not entered an appearance as
a party to the reviews may submit a written statement of information
pertinent to the subject of the review on or before June 25, 2020. On
July 20, 2020, the Commission will make available to parties all
information on which they have not had an opportunity to comment.
Parties may submit final comments on this information on or before July
22, 2020, but such final comments must not contain new factual
information and must otherwise comply with section 207.68 of the
Commission's rules. All written submissions must conform with the
provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions
that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of sections
201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's
Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at
https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf,
elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
Additional written submissions to the Commission, including
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on
all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or
BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed.
The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a
certificate of service.
The Commission has determined that these reviews are
extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise
its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to
19 U.S.C.1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant
to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: March 9, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
