SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background.—On April 19, 2017, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) 

issued an antidumping duty order on 

imports of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R– 

134a) from China (82 FR 18422). The 

Commission is conducting a review 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to 

determine whether revocation of the 

order would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to the domestic industry within 

a reasonably foreseeable time. 

Provisions concerning the conduct of 

this proceeding may be found in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts 

A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts 

A and F. The Commission will assess 

the adequacy of interested party 

responses to this notice of institution to 

determine whether to conduct a full 

review or an expedited review. The 

Commission’s determination in any 

expedited review will be based on the 

facts available, which may include 

information provided in response to this 

notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to this review: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year review, as defined 

by Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Country in this review 

is China. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

determination, the Commission defined 

a single Domestic Like Product 

consisting of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane 

(R–134a) that is coextensive with 

Commerce’s scope. 

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. 

producers as a whole of the Domestic 

Like Product, or those producers whose 

collective output of the Domestic Like 

Product constitutes a major proportion 

of the total domestic production of the 

product. In its original determination, 

the Commission defined a single 

Domestic Industry as all U.S. producers 

of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R–134a). 

(5) The Order Date is the date that the 

antidumping duty order under review 

became effective. In this review, the 

Order Date is April 19, 2017. 

(6) An Importer is any person or firm 

engaged, either directly or through a 

parent company or subsidiary, in 

importing the Subject Merchandise into 

the United States from a foreign 

manufacturer or through its selling 

agent. 

Participation in the proceeding 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 the proceeding as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the proceeding. 

Former Commission employees who 

are seeking to appear in Commission 

five-year reviews are advised that they 

may appear in a review even if they 

participated personally and 

substantially in the corresponding 

underlying original investigation or an 

earlier review of the same underlying 

investigation. The Commission’s 

designated agency ethics official has 

advised that a five-year review is not the 

same particular matter as the underlying 

original investigation, and a five-year 

review is not the same particular matter 

as an earlier review of the same 

underlying investigation for purposes of 

18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment 

statute for Federal employees, and 

Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 

201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 

73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). 

Consequently, former employees are not 

required to seek Commission approval 

to appear in a review under Commission 

rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the 

corresponding underlying original 

investigation or an earlier review of the 

same underlying investigation was 

pending when they were Commission 

employees. For further ethics advice on 

this matter, contact Charles Smith, 

Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 

205–3408. 

Limited disclosure of business 

proprietary information (BPI) under an 

administrative protective order (APO)

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the 

Secretary will make BPI submitted in

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Authorized

who are parties to the proceeding. A 

separate service list will be maintained

U.S.C. appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On April 3, 2017, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) 

issued antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders on imports of stainless steel 

sheet and strip from China (82 FR 

16160–16162 and 16166–16168). The 

Commission is conducting reviews 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to 

determine whether revocation of the 

orders would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to the domestic industry within 

a reasonably foreseeable time. 

Provisions concerning the conduct of 

this proceeding may be found in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts 

A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts 

A and F. The Commission will assess 

the adequacy of interested party 

responses to this notice of institution to 

determine whether to conduct full or 

expedited reviews. The Commission’s 

determinations in any expedited 

reviews will be based on the facts 

available, which may include 

information provided in response to this 

notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to these reviews: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year reviews, as 

defined by Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Country in these 

reviews is China. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

determinations, the Commission 

defined a single Domestic Like Product 

consisting of stainless steel sheet and 

strip, corresponding to Commerce’s 

scope.
