SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On October 4, 2016, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(81 FR 43245, July 1, 2016) 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)).\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\ Commissioner Broadbent voted to conduct full reviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
October 27, 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,\3\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before November 1, 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 November 1, 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 
https://edis.usitc.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by 
Allegheny Ludlum, LLC, North American Stainless, and Outokumpu 
Stainless USA, LLC 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

[[Page 73421]]

(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 section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: October 19, 2016.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
