Hot-Rolled Steel Products From China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan,
Thailand, and Ukraine
Scheduling of full five-year reviews concerning the countervailing
duty orders on hot-rolled steel products from India, Indonesia, and
Thailand and antidumping duty orders on hot-rolled steel products from
China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine.
AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the
countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled steel products from India,
Indonesia, and Thailand and the revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on hot-rolled steel products from China, India, Indonesia,
Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission 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). 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 through E (19 CFR part 201), and part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. On February 4, 2013, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews
were such that a full review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act
should proceed (78 FR 11901, February 20, 2013). 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 Web site.
Participation in the 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
reviews.
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
[[Page 24436]]
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 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 the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on September 13, 2013, 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
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on October 3, 2013, 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 24, 2013. 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 attend a
prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on September 26, 2013, at
the U.S. International Trade Commission Building. 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 September 23, 2013. 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 October 15, 2013. 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 reviews on or before
October 15, 2013. On November 8, 2013, 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 November 12, 2013, 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. Please be aware that the Commission's rules with respect to
electronic filing have been amended. The amendments took effect on
November 7, 2011. See 76 FR 61937 (Oct. 6, 2011) and the newly revised
Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, available on the Commission's Web
site at http://edis.usitc.gov.
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 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.

title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
Issued: April 22, 2013.
