1930 (19 U.S.C.1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On Friday, March 6, 2015, the Commission determined 
that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of 
institution (79 FR 71121, December 1, 2014) of the subject five-year 
reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group 
response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other 
circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews.\1\ 
Accordingly,

[[Page 17496]]

the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews 
pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
Wednesday, April 2, 2015, and made available to persons on the 
Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews. A 
public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 
207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.
    Written submissions.--As provided in section 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 
determination the Commission should reach in these reviews. Comments 
are due on or before Monday, April 7, 2015 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 review by Monday, April 7, 2015. However, should the 
Department of 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 sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 
Commission's rules. Please be aware that the Commission's rules with 
respect to filing have changed. The most recent amendments took effect 
on July 25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 (June 25, 2014), and the revised 
Commission Handbook on E-filing, available from the Commission's Web 
site at http://edis.usitc.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by United 
States Steel Corporation; Maverick Tube Corporation; Boomerang Tube 
LLC; Tejas Tubular Products; Energex Tube, a division of JMC Steel 
Group; Vallourec Star L.P.; Welded Tube USA Inc.; EVRAZ Rocky 
Mountain Steel; and TMK IPSCO to be individually adequate. Comments 
from other interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 
207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with sections 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 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: March 27, 2015.

Secretary to the Commission.
