[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1014, 1016, and 1017 (Second Review)]
Polyvinyl Alcohol From China, Japan, and Korea; Notice of
Commission Determination To Conduct Full Five-Year Reviews and
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)) to determine whether revocation of the antidumping
duty orders on polyvinyl alcohol from China, Japan, and Korea 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 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19
CFR part 207).
DATES: Effective Date: November 13, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. On June 6, 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. The Commission found that the
domestic interested party group responses to its notice of institution
(79 FR 11821, March 3, 2014) were adequate and the respondent
interested party group responses were inadequate. The Commission also
found that other circumstances warranted conducting full reviews.\1\ 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.

Commission's 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.

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
