likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within
a reasonably foreseeable time.
DATES: March 6, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On March 6, 2020, the
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response
to its notice of institution (84 FR 66007, December 2, 2019) of the
subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent
interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not
find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full
reviews.\1\ Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would
conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's
statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements
will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission's website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
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.
Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on
May 15, 2020, and made available to persons on the Administrative
Protective Order service list for these reviews. A public version will
be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the
Commission's rules.
Written submissions.--As provided in section 207.62(d) of the
Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of
institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are
due on or before May 20, 2020 and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the
review by May 20, 2020. However, should the Department of Commerce
(``Commerce'') extend the time limit for its completion of the final
results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not
contain new
[[Page 29484]]
factual information) on Commerce's final results is three business days
after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business
proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements
of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The
Commission's rules with respect to filing were revised effective July
25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 (June 25, 2014). 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Commission has found the joint response submitted by
Charter Steel, Commercial Metals Company, EVRAZ Rocky Mountain
Steel, Liberty Steel USA, Nucor Corporation, and Optimus Steel LLC,
to be individually adequate. Comments from other interested parties
will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each
document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other
parties to the reviews (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.
Determination.--The Commission has determined 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: May 12, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
