AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of

orders on steel concrete reinforcing bar from Japan, Taiwan and Turkey 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material 
injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

DATES: September 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On September 6, 2022, the Commission determined that 
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of 
institution (87 FR 33206, June 1, 2022) 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).
    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record, 
and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective 
Order service list for these reviews on December 16,

2022. 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 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 
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before December 23, 2022 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 December 23, 2022. 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 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 filed on behalf of the 
Rebar Trade Action Coalition and its individual members, Nucor 
Corporation, Gerdau Ameristeel US Inc., Commercial Metals Company, 
Byer Steel, and Steel Dynamics, Inc., domestic producers of rebar, 
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 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.
    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: December 13, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
