continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.

DATES: April 6, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On April 6, 2020, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(85 FR 122, 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 these reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record 
on July 13, 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 Sec.  207.62(d)(4) of the 
Commission's rules.
    Written submissions.--As provided in Sec.  207.62(d) of the 
Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to these

July 20, 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 these reviews by July 20, 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 
Sec. Sec.  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 response submitted on behalf of 
the Vanadium Producers and Reclaimers Association to be individually 
adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be 
accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Sec. Sec.  201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, 
each document filed by a party to these reviews must be served on all 
other parties to these 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.
    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 Sec.  207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 13, 2020.

Secretary to the Commission.
