Taiwan; Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year Reviews

AGENCY:  United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION:  Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of

determine whether revocation of the countervailing and antidumping duty 
orders on certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China 
and the antidumping duty order on certain crystalline silicon 
photovoltaic products from Taiwan would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.

DATES: April 6, 2020.

record for these reviews may be viewed on the Commission's electronic 
docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On April 6, 2020, the 
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response 
to its notice of institution (85 FR 120, January 2, 2020) 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 website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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).
    Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic 
filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's 
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov). 
No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic 
filings will be accepted until further notice.
    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
July 22, 2020, 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 the Secretary on what 
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before July 30, 2020 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 July 30, 2020. 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). 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the separate responses to its 
notice of institution filed on behalf of domestic producers SunPower 
Manufacturing Oregon LLC and Hanwha Q CELLS USA, Inc. 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.
    Determinations.--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: July 9, 2020.
Katherine Hiner,
Supervisory Attorney.
