duty order on forged steel fittings from China would be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.

DATES: November 6, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On November 6, 2023, the Commission determined that 
the domestic interested party group response to its notice of 
institution (88 FR 50172, August 1, 2023) of the subject five-year 
reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group 
responses were 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)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 December 28, 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 
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before January 4, 2024 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 January 4, 2024. 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

[[Page 84362]]

upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted on behalf 
of Bonney Forge Corporation, Phoenix Forge Group d/b/a Capitol 
Manufacturing Company, LLC, and the United Steel, Paper and 
Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and 
Service Workers International Union 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 that 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: November 29, 2023.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
