India, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand, and the antidumping finding

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On February 23, 2026, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (90 FR 47337, October 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)).\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 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 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 April 29, 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
[[Page 13610]]
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 May 6, 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 May 6, 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 Insteel Wire Products Company, Sumiden Wire Products Corporation,
and WMC Steel, LLC 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 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.
Issued: March 18, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
