AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to
determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders on carbon
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Brazil, China, Japan, Taiwan, and
Thailand would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
DATES: October 4, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On October 4, 2021, the
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response
to its notice of institution (86 FR 35133, July 1, 2021) 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 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 December 22, 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
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are
due on or before January 7, 2022 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 January 7, 2022. 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 the joint response to its notice of
institution filed on behalf of Tube Forgings of America, Inc., Mills
Iron Works, Inc., and Hackney Ladish, Inc. (a subsidiary of
Precision Castparts Corp.), as well as the separate response by
Weldbend Corporation, domestic producers of carbon steel butt-weld
pipe fittings, 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: December 16, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
