INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-582 and 731-TA-1377 (Review)]


Ripe Olives From Spain; Scheduling of Full Five-Year Reviews

AGENCY: International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full 
reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') to determine 
whether revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on 
ripe olives from Spain would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The 
Commission has determined to exercise its authority to extend the 
review period by up to 90 days.

DATES: January 16, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--On October 6, 2023, the Commission determined that 
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews 
were such that full reviews should proceed (88 FR 73043, October 24, 
2023); accordingly, full reviews are being scheduled pursuant to 
section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). A 
record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on 
adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements are available 
from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.
    Participation in these reviews and public service list.--Persons, 
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer 
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must 
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as 
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after 
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance 
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of 
these reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The 
Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and 
addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to 
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).
    Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic 
filings during 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.
    Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under 
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary 
will make BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized 
applicants under the APO issued in these reviews, provided that the 
application is made by 45 days after publication of this notice. 
Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined by 
19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to these reviews. A party granted 
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of 
institution of these reviews need not reapply for such access. A 
separate service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those 
parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
    Staff report.--The prehearing staff report in these reviews will be 
placed in the nonpublic record on May 9, 2024, and a public version 
will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Hearing.--The Commission will hold an in-person hearing in 
connection with these reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 
30, 2024. Requests to appear at the hearing should be filed in writing 
with the Secretary to the Commission on or before Wednesday, May 22, 
2024. Any requests to appear as a witness via videoconference must be 
included with your request to appear. Requests to appear via 
videoconference must include a statement explaining why the witness 
cannot appear in person; the Chairman, or other person designated to 
conduct these reviews, may in their discretion for good cause shown, 
grant such a request. Requests to appear as remote witness due to 
illness or a positive COVID-19 test result may be submitted by 3 p.m. 
the business day prior to the hearing. Further information

about participation in the hearing will be posted on the Commission's 
website at https://www.usitc.gov/calendarpad/calendar.html.
    A nonparty who has testimony that may aid the Commission's 
deliberations may request permission to present a short statement at 
the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to appear at the 
hearing and make oral presentations should attend a prehearing 
conference, if deemed necessary, to be held at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, May 
24, 2024. Parties shall file and serve written testimony and 
presentation slides in connection with their presentation at the 
hearing by no later than 4:00 p.m. on May 29, 2024 (one business day 
prior to hearing). Oral testimony and written materials to be submitted 
at the public hearing are governed by sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 
and 207.24 of the Commission's rules. Parties must submit any request 
to present a portion of their hearing testimony in camera no later than 
7 business days prior to the date of the hearing.
    Written submissions.--Each party to these reviews may submit a 
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with 
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the 
deadline for filing is May 20, 2024. Parties shall also file written 
testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, and 
posthearing briefs, which must conform with the provisions of section 
207.67 of the Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing 
briefs is June 10, 2024. In addition, any person who has not entered an 
appearance as a party to these reviews may submit a written statement 
of information pertinent to the subject of these reviews on or before 
5:15 p.m. on June 10, 2024. On July 8, 2024, the Commission will make 
available to parties all information on which they have not had an 
opportunity to comment. Parties may submit final comments on this 
information on or before July 10, 2024, but such final comments must 
not contain new factual information and must otherwise comply with 
section 207.68 of the Commission's rules. All written submissions must 
conform with 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. 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.
    Additional written submissions to the Commission, including 
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall 
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 these reviews must be served 
on all other parties to these 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.
    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 Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant 
to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 16, 2024.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
