SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of an 
expedited review pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to

roller bearings from China would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

DATES: December 5, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--On December 5, 2023, the 
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response 
to its notice of institution (88 FR 60489, September 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\ Commissioner Amy A. Karpel not participating.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 February 8, 2024. 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 February 15, 2024 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 February 15, 2024. 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 The Timken Company and JTEKT Bearings North America LLC 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.
