SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On November 24, 2025, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (90 FR 28783, July 1, 2025) 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 Act (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 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 these 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 January 21, 2026. 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 these
reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party
to these reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what
determination the Commission should reach in these reviews. Comments
are due on or before 5:15 p.m. January 26, 2026 and may not contain new
factual information. Any person that is neither a party to these five-
year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written
statement (which shall not contain any new factual information)
pertinent to these reviews by January 26, 2026. 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 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 responses submitted on behalf
of Charter Steel (``Charter''), Commercial Metals Company (``CMC''),
Liberty Steel USA (``Liberty''), Nucor Steel (``Nucor''), and
Optimus Steel LLC (``Optimus'') 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 these reviews must be served on all
other parties to these 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.
Determinations.--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 Sec. 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 23, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
