INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-929-931 (Third Review)]
Silicomanganese From India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela; Scheduling
of Expedited Five-Year Reviews
AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of
expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to
determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders on
silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a
reasonably foreseeable time.
DATES: December 10, 2018.

(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On December 10, 2018, the Commission determined that
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of
institution (83 FR 44898, September 4, 2018) of the subject five-year
reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate in each review. 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\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and ensuing
cessation of Commission operations, the Commission tolled its deadlines
in these reviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 website.
\2\ Chairman Johanson and 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
March 7, 2019, 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, 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 March 12, 2019 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 March 12, 2019. However, should the Department of Commerce
(``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 website at https://edis.usitc.gov.
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.
Determinations.--The Commission has determined these reviews are
extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise
its authority to extend the reviews 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: March 4, 2019.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
