SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Section 404 of the 

Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (DR–CAFTA Act) 

(19 U.S.C. 4112) required the Secretary 

of Commerce to establish an Earned 

Import Allowance Program (EIAP) and 

directed the Commission to conduct 

annual reviews of the program to 

evaluate its effectiveness and make 

recommendations for improvements. 

Section 404 of the DR–CAFTA Act 

authorizes certain apparel articles 

wholly assembled in an eligible country 

to enter the United States free of duty 

if accompanied by a certificate that 

shows evidence of the purchase of 

certain U.S. fabric. The term ‘‘eligible 

country’’ is defined to mean the 

Dominican Republic. More specifically, 

the program allows producers (in the 

Dominican Republic) that purchase a 

certain quantity of qualifying U.S. fabric 

to produce certain cotton bottoms in the 

Dominican Republic to receive a credit 

that can be used to ship a certain 

quantity of eligible apparel using thirdcountry fabrics from the Dominican 

Republic to the United States free of 

duty. 

Section 404(d) directs the 

Commission to conduct an annual 

review of the program to evaluate the 

effectiveness of the program and make 

recommendations for improvements. 

The Commission is required to submit 

its reports containing the results of its 

reviews to the House Committee on 

Ways and Means and the Senate 

Committee on Finance. Copies of the 

Commission’s first five annual reviews 

are available on the Commission’s Web 

site at www.usitc.gov, including the fifth 

annual review, which was published on 

July 25, 2014 (ITC Publication 4476). 

The Commission expects to submit its 

report on its sixth annual review by July 

24, 2015. 

The Commission instituted this 

investigation pursuant to section 332(g) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 to facilitate 

docketing of submissions and also to 

facilitate public access to Commission 

records through the Commission’s EDIS 

electronic records system. 

Written Submissions: Interested 

parties are invited to file written 

submissions concerning this sixth 

annual review. All written submissions 

should be addressed to the Secretary, 

and all such submissions should be 

received no later than 5:15 p.m., April 

10, 2015. All written submissions must

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. 

2The Commission has found the responses 

submitted by Insteel Wire Products Company and 

Sumiden Wire Products Corp. to be individually 

adequate. Comments from other interested parties 

will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)). 

conform to the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). 

Section 201.8 and the Commission’s 

Handbook on Filing Procedures require 

that interested parties file documents 

electronically on or before the filing 

deadline and submit eight (8) true paper 

copies by 12:00 p.m. eastern time on the 

next business day. If confidential 

treatment of a document is requested, 

interested parties must file, at the same 

time as the eight paper copies, at least 

four (4) additional true paper copies in 

which the confidential information 

must be deleted (see the following 

paragraph for further information 

regarding confidential business 

information). Persons with questions 

regarding electronic filing should 

contact the Secretary (202–205–2000). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform to the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information is clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties. 

The Commission intends to publish 

only a public report in this review. 

Consequently, the report that the 

Commission sends to the committees 

will not contain any confidential 

business information. Any confidential 

business information received by the 

Commission in this investigation and 

used in preparing its report will not be 

published in a manner that would 

reveal the operations of the firm 

supplying the information. 

Summaries of Written Submissions: 

The Commission intends to publish 

summaries of the positions of interested 

persons in an appendix to its report. 

Persons wishing to have a summary of 

their position included in the appendix 

should include a summary with their 

written submission. The summary may 

not exceed 500 words, should be in 

MSWord format or a format that can be 

easily converted to MSWord, and 

should not include any confidential 

business information. The summary will 

be published as provided if it meets 

these requirements and is germane to 

the subject matter of the investigation. 

In the appendix the Commission will 

identify the name of the organization 

furnishing the summary, and will 

include a link to the Commission’s 

Electronic Document Information 

System (EDIS) where the full written 

submission can be found.

Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire 

Strand From Brazil, India, Japan,

Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year 

Reviews 

AGENCY: United States International

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives 

notice of the scheduling of expedited 

reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine 

whether revocation of the antidumping 

duty orders on prestressed concrete 

steel wire strand from Brazil, India, 

Korea, Mexico, and Thailand, and the 

antidumping finding on prestressed 

concrete steel wire strand from Japan, as 

well as revocation of the countervailing 

duty order on prestressed concrete steel 

wire strand from India, would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. 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 through E (19 CFR part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background. On Friday, February 6, 

2015, the Commission determined that 

for each review, the domestic interested 

party group response to its notice of 

institution (79 FR 65246, November 3, 

2014) 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 Act. 

Staff report. A staff report containing 

information concerning the subject 

matter of the reviews will be placed in 

the nonpublic record on Thursday, 

March 5, 2015, 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 

reviews may file written comments with 

the Secretary on what determination the 

Commission should reach in the 

reviews. Comments are due on or before 

Tuesday, March 10, 2015 and may not 

contain new factual information. Any 

person that is neither a party to the fiveyear reviews nor an interested party 

may submit a brief written statement 

(which shall not contain any new 

factual information) pertinent to the 

reviews by Tuesday, March 10, 2015. 

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
