Hot-Rolled Steel Products From China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, 
Thailand, and Ukraine

    Scheduling of full five-year reviews concerning the countervailing

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full 
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the 
countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled steel products from India, 
Indonesia, and Thailand and the revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders on hot-rolled steel products from China, India, Indonesia, 
Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine would be likely to lead to continuation 
or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. 
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). For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background. On February 4, 2013, the Commission determined that 
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews 
were such that a full review pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act 
should proceed (78 FR 11901, February 20, 2013). A record of the 
Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any 
individual Commissioner's statements are available from the Office of 
the Secretary and at the Commission's Web site.
    Participation in the reviews and public service list. Persons, 
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after 
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance 
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the 
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary 
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses 
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
reviews.
    Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under 
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list. Pursuant 
to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make 
BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized applicants under 
the APO issued in the

review, provided that the application is made by 45 days after 
publication of this notice. Authorized applicants must represent 
interested parties, as defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to 
the reviews. A party granted access to BPI following publication of the 
Commission's notice of institution of the reviews need not reapply for 
such access. A separate service list will be maintained by the 
Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
    Staff report. The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be 
placed in the nonpublic record on September 13, 2013, and a public 
version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Hearing. The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the 
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on October 3, 2013, at the U.S. 
International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the 
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission 
on or before September 24, 2013. A nonparty who has testimony that may 
aid the Commission's deliberations may request permission to present a 
short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to 
appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should attend a 
prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on September 26, 2013, at 
the U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Oral testimony and 
written materials to be submitted at the public hearing are governed by 
sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 207.66 of the Commission's 
rules. Parties must submit any request to present a portion of their 
hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 business days prior to the 
date of the hearing.
    Written submissions. Each party to the reviews may submit a 
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with 
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the 
deadline for filing is September 23, 2013. Parties may also file 
written testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, 
as provided in section 207.24 of the Commission's rules, and 
posthearing briefs, which must conform with the provisions of section 
207.67 of the Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing 
briefs is October 15, 2013. In addition, any person who has not entered 
an appearance as a party to the reviews may submit a written statement 
of information pertinent to the subject of the reviews on or before 
October 15, 2013. On November 8, 2013, the Commission will make 
available to parties all information on which they have not had an 
opportunity to comment. Parties may submit final comments on this 
information on or before November 12, 2013, but such final comments 
must not contain new factual information and must otherwise comply with 
section 207.68 of the Commission's rules. All written submissions must 
conform with the provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; 
any submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the 
requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's

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.
    Additional written submissions to the Commission, including 
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall 
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such 
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request 
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.
    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's 
rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on

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.
