SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On October 6, 2023, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(88 FR 42753, July 3, 2023) 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 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\ Commissioner Stayin did not participate in the vote on 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).
    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 November 21, 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,\3\ 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 5:15 p.m. on November 30, 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 November 30, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has found the response submitted on behalf of 
the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute and its two individual members 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 Act; this notice is published pursuant to Sec.  
207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: October 27, 2023.
Katherine Hiner,
Supervisory Attorney.
