SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On March 6, 2023, the Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
(87 FR 73784, 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, 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 May 17, 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 May 25, 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 May 25, 2023. 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 responses submitted by the
American Manufacturers of Multilayered Wood Flooring, an ad hoc
association, on behalf of three domestic producers of multilayered
wood flooring (AHF Products, LLC, Mohawk Industries, Inc., and
Mullican Flooring, L.P.) 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: April 11, 2023.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
