SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On September 5, 2023, the
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response
to its notice of institution (88 FR 35926, June 1, 2023) of the subject
five-year review was adequate and that the respondent interested party
group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other
circumstances that would warrant conducting a full review.\1\
Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct an
expedited review pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1675(c)(3)).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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.
\2\ Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioner Rhonda K.
Schmidtlein voted to conduct full a review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For further information concerning the conduct of this review 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 review has been placed in the nonpublic record,
and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective
Order service list for this review on October 18, 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 review
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of
institution,\3\ and any party other than an interested party to the
review may file written comments with the Secretary on what
determination the Commission should reach in the review. Comments are
due on or before 5:15 p.m. on October 26, 2023, and may not contain new
factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-
year review nor an interested party may submit a brief written
statement (which shall not contain any new factual information)
pertinent to the review by October 26, 2023. However, should the
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') extend the time limit for its
completion of the final results of its review, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Commission has found the responses submitted on behalf
of ADA Carbon Solutions, LLC, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Carbon
Activated Corporation, Jacobi Carbons, Inc., and Norit Americas,
Inc. 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 review must be served on all
other parties to the review (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 this review is
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: This review is being conducted under authority of title
VII of the Act; this notice is published pursuant to Sec. 207.62 of
the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: September 29, 2023.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
