SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 1, 2018, the Commission 
established a schedule for the conduct of the full five-year review (83 
FR 50408, October 5, 2018). Due to the lapse in appropriations and 
ensuing cessation of Commission operations, the Commission is revising 
its schedule. On February 6, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
notified the Commission of its intent to ``withdraw from the 2013 
Suspension Agreement on Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico (Agreement), 
effective May 7, 2019.'' However, until the Agreement is terminated, 
there is no provision in the law for the Commission to terminate its 
five-year review and, due to the proximity of this notice to the 
Commission's statutory deadline, it must proceed with conducting its 
five-year review.
    The Commission's revised dates in the schedule are as follows: The 
prehearing staff report will be placed in the nonpublic record on March 
4, 2019; the deadline for filing prehearing briefs is March 13, 2019; 
requests to appear at the hearing must be filed with the Secretary to 
the Commission not later than March 14, 2019; the prehearing conference 
will be held at the U.S. International Trade Commission Building on 
March 18, 2019, if deemed necessary; the hearing will be held at the 
U.S. International Trade Commission Building at 9:30 a.m. on March 21, 
2019; the deadline for filing posthearing briefs and for written 
statements from any person who has not entered an appearance as a party 
is March 29, 2019; the Commission will make its final release of 
information on April 26, 2019; and final party comments are due on May 
1, 2019.
    For further information concerning this proceeding see the 
Commission's notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and 
part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).

    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 22, 2019.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
