SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On July 7, 2017, the Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
(82 FR 16226, April 3, 2017) 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 Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on
August 11, 2017, 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
review may file written comments with the Secretary on what
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are
due on or before September 22, 2017 and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review
nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews
by September 22, 2017. However, should the Department of Commerce
extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its
reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new 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), and the revised Commission
Handbook on E-filing, available from the Commission's Web site at
https://edis.usitc.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Commission has found the response submitted by Archroma
U.S., Inc. 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.
Determinations.--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: August 3, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
