SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On January 4, 2016, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(80 FR 59183, October 1, 2015) 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 Tariff Act of 1930 (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 Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 will be placed in the nonpublic record 
on January 29, 2016, 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 
review may file written comments with

[[Page 1967]]

the Secretary on what determinations the Commission should reach in the 
reviews. Comments are due on or before February 3, 2016 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 February 3, 2016. 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 with respect to filing were 
revised effective July 25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 (June 25, 2014), and 
the revised Commission Handbook on E-filing, available from the 
Commission's Web site at http://edis.usitc.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by TMK 
IPSCO, United States Steel Corp., and Vallourec Star, L.P. 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.

    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: January 11, 2016.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
