Review)]


Iron Construction Castings From Brazil, Canada, and China

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Scheduling of expedited five-year reviews concerning the 
countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on iron construction

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of 
expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation 
of the countervailing duty and or antidumping duty orders on iron

these reviews and rules of general application, consult the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On August 6, 2010, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(75 FR 23295, May 3, 2010) 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
September 16, 2010, and made available to persons on the Administrative 
Protective Order service list for these reviews. A public version will 
be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the 
Commission's rules.
    Written submissions.--As provided in section 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 the Secretary on what 
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before September 22, 2010, 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 September 22, 2010. However, should the Department of 
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 sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The 
Commission's rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the 
Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent 
permitted by section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 
68036 (November 8, 2002). Even where electronic filing of a document is 
permitted, certain documents must also be filed in paper form, as 
specified in II (C) of the Commission's Handbook on Electronic Filing 
Procedures, 67 FR 68168, 68173 (November 8, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by four 
producers of heavy iron construction castings (D & L Foundry Inc., 
East Jordan Iron Works Inc., Neenah Foundry Co., and U.S. Foundry & 
Manufacturing Co.) and three producers of light iron construction 
castings (East Jordan Iron Works Inc., Neenah Foundry Co., and 
Vestal Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.) to be individually adequate. 
Comments from other interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 
CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with sections 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 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 section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: August 10, 2010.

Secretary to the Commission.
