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 website. 

2Commissioner David S. Johanson determined 

that, in light of the time that has transpired since 

the Commission last conducted full investigations 

in this matter, conducting full reviews is warranted. 

Commissioner Jason E. Kearns did not participate 

in this vote. 

3The Commission has found the responses 

submitted on behalf of Bull Moose Tube Company; 

Maruichi American Corporation; Nucor Tubular 

Products, Inc.; and Zekelman Industries to be 

individually adequate. Comments from other 

interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 

207.62(d)(2)). 

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 Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).2

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 has been placed in 

the nonpublic record, and will be made 

available to persons on the 

Administrative Protective Order service 

list for these reviews on October 30, 

2024. A public version will be issued 

thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Written submissions—As provided in 

§ 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,3 and any party 

other than an interested party to the 

reviews may file written comments with 

the Secretary on what determination the 

Commission should reach in the 

reviews. Comments are due on or before 

November 7, 2024 and may not contain 

new factual information. Any person 

that is neither a party to the five-year 

reviews nor an interested party may 

submit a brief written statement (which 

shall not contain any new factual 

information) pertinent to the reviews by 

November 7, 2024. However, should the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘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 §§ 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. 

In accordance with §§ 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. 

Determination—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 Act; this notice is published 

pursuant to § 207.62 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

By order of the Commission.
