Review
AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

up to 90 days.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On January 6, 2020, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year review
were such that a full review should proceed (85 FR 3417, January 21,
2020); accordingly, a full review is 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 the review 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 this review 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
review 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 this review 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).
Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic
filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov).
No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic
filings will be accepted until further notice.
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 this review available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the review, 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 review. A party granted
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of
institution of the review 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 the review will be
placed in the nonpublic record on August 24, 2020, and a public version
will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the
Commission's rules.
Hearing.--The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the
review beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 15, 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 September 4, 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 September 9, 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 review 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 September 2, 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
September 22, 2020. In addition, any person who has not entered an
appearance as a party to the review may submit a written statement of
information pertinent to the subject of the review on or before
September 22, 2020. On October 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 October 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: This review is 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: May 11, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
