Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago; Scheduling of Full Five-Year 
Reviews

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full 
reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to determine 
whether revocation of the antidumping duty and countervailing duty 
orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Brazil, 
Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago 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.

DATES: March 6, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On September 6, 2019, the Commission determined that 
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews 
were such that full reviews should proceed (84 FR 50474, September 25, 
2019); accordingly, full reviews are being scheduled pursuant to 
section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). 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 website.
    Participation in these 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 
review.
    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).
    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 reviews, 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 these reviews will be 
placed in the nonpublic record on May 28, 2020, 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 Tuesday, June 16, 2020, 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 June 9, 2020. 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 participate in 
a prehearing conference to be held on June 15, 2020, at the U.S. 
International Trade Commission Building, if deemed necessary. 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 June 8, 2020. 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 June 
25, 2020. 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 review on or before June 25, 2020. On 
July 20, 2020, 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 July 
22, 2020, 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 rules. The Commission's 
Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at 
https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, 
elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
    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 review must be served on 
all other parties to the review (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.
    The Commission has determined that 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: March 9, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
