SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—In March 2021, the 

Commission determined that an 

industry in the United States was 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of phosphate fertilizers that were found 

to be subsidized by the governments of 

Morocco and Russia.1 Phosphate 

Fertilizers from Morocco and Russia, 

Investigation Nos. 701–TA–650–651 

(Final), USITC Pub. 5172 (March 2021). 

Several respondent parties contested the 

Commission’s determinations in two 

separate actions, which were later 

consolidated, before the U.S. Court of 

International Trade (‘‘CIT’’). The CIT 

remanded for reconsideration the 

Commission’s factual finding regarding 

the feasibility of reshipment of 

phosphate fertilizer from one 

destination to another. OCP S.A. v. 

United States, Consolidated Court No. 

21–00219, Slip Op. 23–136 (Ct. Int’l 

Trade, September 19, 2023). 

Participation in the remand 

proceedings.—Only those persons who 

were interested parties that participated 

in the investigations (i.e., persons listed 

on the Commission Secretary’s service 

list) and were also parties to the appeal 

may participate in the remand 

proceedings. Such persons need not file 

any additional appearances with the 

Commission to participate in the 

remand proceedings, unless they are 

adding new individuals to the list of 

persons entitled to receive business 

proprietary information (‘‘BPI’’) under 

administrative protective order. BPI 

referred to during the remand 

proceedings will be governed, as 

appropriate, by the administrative 

protective order issued in the 

investigations. The Secretary will 

maintain a service list containing the 

names and addresses of all persons or 

their representatives who are parties to 

the remand proceedings, and the 

Secretary will maintain a separate list of 

those authorized to receive BPI under 

the administrative protective order 

during the remand proceedings. 

Written submissions.—The 

Commission is reopening the record in 

these proceedings for the limited 

purpose of issuing a short supplemental 

questionnaire to U.S. producers and 

U.S. importers. The Commission is 

otherwise not reopening the record for 

the collection of new factual 

information. The Commission will make 

available any new factual information 

obtained during the remand proceedings 

not already served to the parties in the 

investigations (as identified by the 

public of BPI service list). The 

Commission will permit the parties to 

file written comments limited to 

addressing new factual information 

obtained during the remand proceedings 

and how the Commission could best 

comply with the Court’s remand 

instructions. 

The comments must be based solely 

on the information in the Commission’s 

record. The Commission will reject 

submissions containing additional 

factual information or arguments 

pertaining to issues other those defined 

above. The deadline for filing comments 

is November 27, 2023. Comments must 

be limited to a total of twenty-five (25) 

double-spaced and single-sided pages of 

textual material for domestic interested 

parties, inclusive of attachments and 

exhibits; and a total of twenty-five (25) 

double-spaced and single-sided pages of 

textual material for respondent 

interested parties, inclusive of 

attachments and exhibits. 

Parties are advised to consult with the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A through 

E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subpart A (19 CFR part 207) for 

provisions of general applicability 

concerning written submissions to the 

Commission. All written submissions 

must conform to 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 note the 

Secretary’s Office will accept only 

electronic filings at this time. Filings 

must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. The Commission’s 

Handbook on E-Filing, available on the 

Commission’s website at http://

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, will 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 

investigation must be served on all other 

parties to the investigation (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. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: October 24, 2023.
