SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On July 7, 2021, the Commission
determined that the domestic interested party group response to its
notice of institution (86 FR 17200, April 1, 2021) of the subject five-
year reviews was adequate and that
[[Page 51378]]
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
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes is available from the
Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic
filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>).
No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic
filings will be accepted until further notice.
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 September 13, 2021. 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 September 20, 2021 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 September 20, 2021. 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 Handbook on Filing Procedures,
available on the Commission's website at <a href="https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf">https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf</a>, elaborates upon the
Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Commission has found a joint response to its notice of
institution filed by the Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags Committee
on behalf of six domestic producers of polyethylene retail carrier
bags (Hilex Poly Company, LLC; Superbag LLC; Unistar Plastics, LLC;
Command Packaging; Command Packaging Texas; and Roplast Industries,
Inc.) to be 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).
Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant
to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: September 10, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
