SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On November 19, 2003, 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) issued an antidumping 

duty order on imports of refined brown 

aluminum oxide from China (68 FR 

65249). Commerce issued a 

continuation of the antidumping duty 

order on imports of refined brown 

aluminum oxide from China following 

Commerce’s and the Commission’s first 

five-year reviews, effective March 13, 

2009 (74 FR 10884), second five-year 

reviews, effective October 14, 2014 (79 

FR 61606), and third five-year reviews, 

effective March 6, 2020 (85 FR 13138). 

The Commission is now conducting a 

fourth 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 or 

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 and its expedited first, 

second, and third five-year review 

determinations, the Commission 

defined the Domestic Like Product as all 

merchandise corresponding to 

Commerce’s scope, as well as any brown 

aluminum oxide where particles with a 

diameter greater than 3⁄8 inch constitute 

at least 50 percent of the total weight of 

the entire batch, as long as the product 

has been crushed, screened, and sorted 

into consistent sizes. 

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

producers as a whole of the Domestic 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 21 / Monday, February 3, 2025 / Notices 8813 

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 the Domestic 

Industry as all U.S. producers of refined 

brown aluminum oxide, with the 

exception of Great Lakes Minerals, 

which was excluded from the domestic 

industry as a related party. In its 

expedited first, second, and third fiveyear review determinations, the 

Commission defined the Domestic 

Industry as consisting of all domestic 

producers of the Domestic Like Product. 

(5) 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) 

and APO service list.—Pursuant to 

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

Secretary will make BPI submitted in 

this proceeding available to authorized 

applicants under the APO issued in the 

proceeding, provided that the 

application is made no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Authorized 

applicants must represent interested 

parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), 

who are parties to the proceeding. A 

separate service list will be maintained 

by the Secretary for those parties 

authorized to receive BPI under the 

APO. 

Certification.—Pursuant to § 207.3 of 

the Commission’s rules, any person 

submitting information to the 

Commission in connection with this 

proceeding must certify that the 

information is accurate and complete to 

the best of the submitter’s knowledge. In 

making the certification, the submitter 

will acknowledge that information 

submitted in response to this request for 

information and throughout this 

proceeding or other proceeding may be

developing or maintaining the records 

of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in 

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 5 

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

government employees and contract 

personnel, solely for cybersecurity 

purposes. All contract personnel will 

sign appropriate nondisclosure 

agreements.

§ 207.61 of the Commission’s rules, each 

interested party response to this notice 

must provide the information specified 

below. The deadline for filing such 

responses is 5:15 p.m. on March 5, 2025. 

Pursuant to § 207.62(b) of the 

Commission’s rules, eligible parties (as 

specified in Commission rule 

207.62(b)(1)) may also file comments 

concerning the adequacy of responses to 

the notice of institution and whether the 

Commission should conduct an 

expedited or full review. The deadline

submissions that contain BPI must also 

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. Also, 

in accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 

207.3 of the Commission’s rules, each 

document filed by a party to the 

proceeding must be served on all other 

parties to the proceeding (as identified 

by either the public or APO service list 

as appropriate), and a certificate of 

service must accompany the document 

(if you are not a party to the proceeding 

you do not need to serve your response).

valid Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) number is not displayed; the 

OMB number is 3117 0016/USITC No. 

24–5–628, expiration date June 30, 

2026. Public reporting burden for the 

request is estimated to average 15 hours 

per response. Please send comments 

regarding the accuracy of this burden 

estimate to the Office of Investigations, 

U.S. International Trade Commission, 

500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 

20436. 

Inability to provide requested 

information.—Pursuant to § 207.61(c) of 

the Commission’s rules, any interested 

party that cannot furnish the

the requested form and manner shall 

notify the Commission at the earliest 

possible time, provide a full explanation 

of why it cannot provide the requested 

information, and indicate alternative 

forms in which it can provide 

equivalent information. If an interested 

party does not provide this notification 

(or the Commission finds the 

explanation provided in the notification 

inadequate) and fails to provide a 

complete response to this notice, the 

Commission may take an adverse 

inference against the party pursuant to 

§ 776(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1677e(b))
