SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On February 23, 2026, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (90 FR 47334, 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)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 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 April 1, 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,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the
reviews may file written comments with
[[Page 14881]]
the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the
reviews. Comments are due on or before 5:15 p.m. on April 8, 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 April 8, 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 response submitted on behalf of
Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition North America, Inc. 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 24, 2026.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
