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 duty orders on seamless refined 
copper pipe and tube from China and Mexico 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: Effective Date: June 17, 2016.

reviews may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background--On January 4, 2016, the Commission determined that 
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews 
were such that full reviews should proceed (81 FR 1967, January 14, 
2016); 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 Web site.
    Participation in the reviews and public service list--Persons, 
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the 
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative

[[Page 40923]]

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 the 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).
    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 the 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 the reviews. A party granted access to BPI following 
publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the 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 the reviews will be 
placed in the nonpublic record on September 22, 2016, and a public 
version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Hearing--The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the 
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, at the 
U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Requests to appear at the 
hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission 
on or before October 3, 2016. 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 participate in 
a prehearing conference to be held on October 7, 2016, at the U.S. 
International Trade Commission Building, if deemed necessary. Oral 
testimony and written materials to be submitted at the public hearing 
are governed by sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 207.66 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 the 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 September 30, 2016. Parties may also file 
written testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, 
as provided in section 207.24 of the Commission's rules, 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 October 20, 2016. In addition, any person who has not entered 
an appearance as a party to the reviews may submit a written statement 
of information pertinent to the subject of the reviews on or before 
October 20, 2016. On November 8, 2016, 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 November 10, 2016, 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 E-Filing, available on the 
Commission's Web site 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, 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 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.
    The Commission has determined that these reviews are 
extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise 
its authority to extend the reviews 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: June 20, 2016.
