SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On September 6, 2022, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (87 FR 33210, June 1, 2022) of the subject five-year review
was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response
was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances
that would warrant conducting a full review.\1\ Accordingly, the
Commission determined that it would conduct an expedited review
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, 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 website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For further information concerning the conduct of this review 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 review has been placed in the nonpublic record,
and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective
Order service list for this review on December 21, 2022. A public
version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to Sec. 207.62(d)(4) of
the Commission's rules.
Written submissions.--As provided in Sec. 207.62(d) of the
Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the review
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of
institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the
review may file written comments with the Secretary on what
determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are
due on or before January 3, 2023 and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review
nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review
by January 3, 2023. However, should the Department of Commerce
(``Commerce'') extend the time limit for its completion of the final
results of its review, 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 Sec. Sec. 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 submitted on
behalf of the Committee for Fairly Traded Japanese Cement, an ad hoc
association of two domestic producers of gray portland cement and
clinker (Cemex, Inc. and National Cement Company of California,
Inc.), as well as two labor unions representing workers producing
cement in California: the United Steel, Paper & Forestry, Rubber,
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union and the International Union of Operating
Engineers, to be individually adequate. Comments from other
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Sec. Sec. 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules,
each document filed by a party to the review must be served on all
other parties to the review (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 this review is
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: This review is being conducted under authority of title
VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to
Sec. 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 20, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
