SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On December 22, 2025, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (90 FR 36188, August 1, 2025) of the subject five-year
reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate with respect to each subject country. 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)).\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 website.
\2\ Commissioner David S. Johanson 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 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 February 20, 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 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 February 26, 2026, 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 February 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Commission has found the responses submitted on behalf
of Mitsubishi Chemical America, Inc.--Polyester Film Division;
Microworks America, Inc.; Polyplex USA LLC; Polyplex Corporation,
Ltd.; and Terphane, Inc. to be individually adequate. The Commission
also found the response submitted on behalf of and DNP Imagingcomm
America Corporation to be individually adequate with respect to the
antidumping duty order on China. 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 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 Sec. 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
