    Participation in the remand proceedings.--Only those persons who 
were interested parties that participated in the underlying 
investigations and were also parties to the appeal may participate in 
these 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 (``APO''). BPI referred to during 
the remand proceedings will be governed, as appropriate, by the APO 
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 reopening the record in 
these proceedings for the limited purposes of adding information 
compiled from detailed U.S. Census Bureau edited Customs and Border 
Protection data differentiating imports from South Korea by supplier, 
and revising tables considered in its cumulation analysis to exclude 
responses and data concerning nonsubject imports from South Korea. The 
Commission will permit the parties entitled to participate in the 
remand proceedings to file comments concerning these data and revised 
tables, and 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, as amended as described above. 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 June 26, 
2024. Comments must be limited to no more than thirty (30) 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.
