INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-562 and 731-TA-1329 (Review)]


Ammonium Sulfate From China; 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 ammonium sulfate from China 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: August 1, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On May 9, 2022, the Commission 
determined that responses to its notice of institution of the subject 
five-year reviews were such that full reviews should proceed (87 FR 
29878, May 17, 2022); 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 the review 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 
these 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 
these 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). Please note 
the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic filings during 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.
    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 these reviews. A party granted 
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of 
institution of these 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 November 18, 2022, 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 December 6, 2022. Information 
about the place and form of the hearing, including about how to 
participate in and/or view the hearing, will be posted on the 
Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/calendarpad/calendar.html. Interested parties should check the Commission's website 
periodically for updates. Requests to appear at the hearing should be 
filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission on or before 
November 29, 2022. Any requests to appear as a witness via 
videoconference must be included with your request to appear. Requests 
to appear via videoconference must include a statement explaining why 
the witness cannot appear in person; the Chairman, or other person 
designated to conduct the investigation, may in their discretion for 
good cause shown, grant such a request. Requests to appear as remote 
witness due to illness or a positive COVID-19 test result may be 
submitted by 3pm the business day prior to the hearing.
    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 attend a prehearing 
conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on December 2, 2022. Oral testimony 
and written materials to be submitted at the public hearing are 
governed by sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), and 207.24 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 these 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 November 29, 2022. 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 
December 13, 2022. In addition, any person who has not entered an 
appearance as a party to these reviews may submit a written statement 
of information pertinent to the subject of these reviews on or before 
December 13, 2022. On January 13, 2023, 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 January 18, 2023, 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 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.
    The Commission has determined that these reviews are 
extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise 
its authority to

[[Page 47465]]

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 29, 2022.

Acting Secretary to the Commission.
