SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--In April 2021, the Commission determined that an 
industry in the United States was materially by reason of imports of 
SSLPP from Czechia that were sold in the United States at less than 
fair value. Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and 
Pressure Pipe from Czech Republic (Czechia), Inv. No. 731-TA-1529 
(Final), USITC Pub. No. 5183 (April 2021). In August 2021, the 
Commission determined that an industry in the United States was 
materially injured by reason of imports of SSLPP from Korea, Russia, 
and Ukraine that were sold in the United States at less than fair value 
and subsidized by the governments of Russia and Ukraine. Seamless 
Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe from Korea, 
Russia, and Ukraine, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-654-655 and 731-TA-1530-1532 
(Final), USITC Pub. No. 5222 (August 2021). Respondent, PAO TMK, 
contested the Commission's determination regarding Russia before the 
U.S. Court of International Trade (``CIT''). The CIT remanded the 
Commission's determination for the agency to reconsider its calculation 
of in-scope imports from Germany and Mexico by addressing (1) the 
Customs data for Germany and Mexico in light of the Commission's 
determination that only Company A imported in-scope imports from 
Germany and only Company B imported in-scope imports from Mexico, and 
(2) evidence proffered by TMK that claims Company C imported in-scope 
imports from Germany, contrary to the Commission's decision that 
Company A was the only importer of in-scope imports from Germany. PAO 
TMK v. United States, Slip Op. 23-150 (Ct. Int'l Trade, Oct. 12, 2023).
    Participation in the remand proceedings.--Only those persons who 
were interested parties that participated in the investigations (i.e., 
persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service list) and also 
parties to the appeal may participate in the remand proceedings. Such 
persons need not file any additional appearances with the Commission to 
participate in the remand proceedings, unless they are adding new 
individuals to the list of persons entitled to receive business 
proprietary information (``BPI'') under administrative protective 
order. BPI referred to during the remand proceedings will be governed, 
as appropriate, by the administrative protective order issued in the 
investigations. The Secretary will maintain a service list containing 
the names and addresses of all persons or their representatives who are 
parties to the remand proceedings, and the Secretary will maintain a 
separate list of those authorized to receive BPI under the 
administrative protective order during the remand proceedings.
    Written submissions.--The Commission is not reopening the record 
and will not accept the submission of new factual information for the 
record. The Commission will permit the parties to file comments 
concerning how the Commission could best comply with the court's remand 
instructions.
    The comments must be based solely on the information in the 
Commission's record. The Commission will reject submissions containing 
additional factual information or arguments pertaining to issues other 
than those on which the court has remanded this matter. The deadline 
for filing comments is December 1, 2023. Comments must be limited to no 
more than fifteen (15) double-spaced and single-sided pages of textual 
material, inclusive of attachments and exhibits.
    Parties are advised to consult with the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 
201), and part 207, subpart A (19 CFR part 207) for provisions of 
general applicability concerning written submissions to the Commission. 
All written submissions must conform to the provisions of section 201.8 
of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain BPI must also 
conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of 
the Commission's rules. Please note the Secretary's Office will accept 
only electronic filings at this time. Filings must be made through the 
Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of 
any electronic filings will be accepted until further notice. The 
Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, available on the Commission's 
website at http://edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the Commission's 
rules with respect to electronic filing.
    Additional written submissions to the Commission, including 
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, will not 
be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such submissions 
or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request by a 
Commissioner or Commission staff.
    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's 
rules, each document filed by a party to the investigation must be 
served on all other parties to the investigation (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.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: November 2, 2023.
