Turkey and the antidumping duty orders on wire rod from Belarus, Italy, 
Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, the United 
Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom would be likely to lead to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On March 6, 2023, the 
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response 
to its notice of institution (87 FR 73789, December 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,

[[Page 22070]]

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 June 27, 2023. 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 July 5, 2023 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 5, 2023. 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 responses submitted on behalf 
of Charter Steel, Commercial Metals Company, Liberty Steel USA, 
Nucor Corporation, and Optimus Steel, LLC 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.
    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 Sec.  207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    Issued: April 6, 2023.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
