SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On February 6, 2012, the Commission determined that 
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of 
institution (76 FR 67476, November 1, 2011) of the subject five-year 
review was adequate and that the respondent interested party group 
response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other 
circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review.\1\ 
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an 
expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.\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 Web site.
    \2\ Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun is not participating in this 
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the review will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
March 1, 2012, and made available to persons on the Administrative 
Protective Order service list for this review. 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 review 
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,\3\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
review may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are 
due on or before March 6, 2012 and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year review 
nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which 
shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the review 
by March 6, 2012. However, should the Department of Commerce extend the 
time limit for its completion of the final results of its review, 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. Please be aware that 
the Commission's rules with respect to electronic filing have been 
amended. The amendments took effect on November 7, 2011. See 76 FR 
61937 (Oct. 6, 2011) and the newly revised Commission's Handbook on E-
Filing, available on the Commission's Web site at http://edis.usitc.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has found the response submitted by Globe 
Metallurgical Inc. to be individually adequate. Comments from other 
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also, in accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the 
Commission's rules, each document filed by a party to the review must 
be served on all other parties to the review (as identified by either 
the public or APO service list as appropriate), and a certificate of 
service must accompany the document (if you are not a party to the 
review you do not need to serve your response). The Secretary will not 
accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.

    Authority: This review is 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: February 17, 2012.
James R. Holbein,
Secretary to the Commission.
