Certain Circular Welded Wipe and Wube (CWP) From Brazil, India, 
Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey; Scheduling of Expedited 
Five-Year Reviews

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of 
expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to 
determine whether revocation of the countervailing duty order on welded 
carbon steel pipe and tube from Turkey and the antidumping duty orders 
on certain circular welded pipe and tube from Brazil, India, Korea, 
Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.

DATES: This determination was made on September 5, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On September 5, 2017, the Commission determined that 
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of 
institution (82 FR 25328, June 1, 2017) of the subject five-year 
reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group 
response was inadequate in each review. 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 Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes, the 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.
    \2\ Commissioner Broadbent voted to conduct full 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, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
December 12, 2017, 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,\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 December 15, 2017 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 December 15, 2017. 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 sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 
Commission's rules. The Commission's rules with respect to filing were 
revised effective July 25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 (June 25, 2014), and 
the revised Commission Handbook on E-filing, available from the 
Commission's Web site at https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by Bull 
Moose Tube Company, EXLTUBE, TMK IPSCO Tubulars, Zekelman 
Industries, and the Government of Turkey to be individually 
adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be 
accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with sections 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).
