SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On September 5, 2023, 

the Commission determined that 

responses to its notice of institution of 

the subject five-year reviews were such 

that full reviews should proceed (88 FR 

66052, September 26, 2023); 

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 website. 

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,

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

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 April 25, 2024, 

and a public version will be issued 

thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Hearing.—The Commission will hold 

an in-person hearing in connection with 

the reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on 

Thursday, May 16, 2024. Requests to 

appear at the hearing should be filed in 

writing with the Secretary to the 

Commission on or before Wednesday, 

May 8, 2024. Any requests to appear as 

a witness via videoconference must be 

included with your request to appear. 

Requests to appear via videoconference 

must include a statement explaining 

why the witness cannot appear in 

person; the Chairman, or other person 

designated to conduct the reviews, may 

in their discretion for good cause 

shown, grant such a request. Requests to 

appear as remote witness due to illness 

or a positive COVID–19 test result may 

be submitted by 3 p.m. the business day 

prior to the hearing. Further information 

about participation in the hearing will 

be posted on the Commission’s website 

at https://www.usitc.gov/calendarpad/

calendar.html. 

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, if deemed 

necessary, to be held at 9:30 a.m. on 

Friday, May 10, 2024. Parties shall file 

and serve written testimony and 

presentation slides in connection with 

their presentation at the hearing by no

15, 2024. Oral testimony and written 

materials to be submitted at the public 

hearing are governed by sections 

201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), and 207.24 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 May 6, 

2024. Parties shall also file written 

testimony in connection with their 

presentation at the hearing, 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 May 28, 

2024. 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 

5:15 p.m. on May 28, 2024. On June 20, 

2024, 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 June 24, 2024, 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 Filing Procedures, 

available on the Commission’s website 

at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/ 

handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, 

elaborates upon the Commission’s 

procedures with respect to filings. 

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.
