reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission has determined to exercise
its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days.
DATES: August 4, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background--On March 6, 2017, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews
were such that full reviews should proceed (82 FR 14030, March 16,
2017); accordingly, full reviews are being scheduled pursuant to
section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). 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.
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).
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 December 4, 2017, 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, December 20, 2017, 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 December 14, 2017. 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 participate in
a prehearing conference to be held on December 18, 2017, 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.
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 December 12, 2017. 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
January 4, 2018. 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
January 4, 2018. On January 24, 2018, 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 January 26, 2018, 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. The Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, available on the
Commission's Web site at https://edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the
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.
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.
The Commission has determined that 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.
