INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-986-987 (Second Review)]
Ferrovanadium From China and South Africa; Scheduling of Full
Five-Year Reviews
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
antidumping duty orders on ferrovanadium from China and South Africa
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).\1\ 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
207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In addition, the Commission has the authority to toll
statutory deadlines during a period when the government is closed.
Because the Commission was closed on December 10, 2013, and on
January 21, February 13, March 3, and March 17, 2014 due to
inclement weather in Washington, DC, the statutory deadline may be
tolled by up to five days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATES: Effective Date: June 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On February 4, 2014, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews
were such that full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act
should proceed (79 FR 9000, February 14, 2014). 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 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 the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on Monday, November 3, 2014, 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 Thursday, November 20, 2014, 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 Thursday, November 13, 2014. 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 on Tuesday, November 18, 2014
(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.

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 Wednesday, November 12, 2014. 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 Tuesday, December 2, 2014. In addition, any person who has
not entered an appearance as a party to the reviews may submit a

reviews on or before Tuesday, December 2, 2014. On Friday, December 19,
2014, 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 Monday, January 5,
2015, 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,

rules with respect to electronic filing.
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.
