application, consult 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).

DATES: Effective Date: July 18, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--In November 2013, the Commission determined by an 
unanimous vote by the five participating Commissioners that an industry 
in the United States was not materially injured or threatened with 
material injury by reason of imports of hardwood plywood from China 
that were sold in the United States at less than fair value and that 
were subsidized by the Government of China. Petitioners and domestic 
producers contested the Commission's determinations before the U.S. 
Court of International Trade (``CIT''). The CIT remanded certain issues 
to the Commission and affirmed all other aspects of the Commission's 
determinations. Coalition of Fair Trade of Hardwood Plywood v. United 
States International Trade Commission, Slip. Op. 16-57 (Ct. Int'l Trade 
June 8, 2016).
    Participation in the proceeding.--Only those persons who were 
interested parties that participated in the investigations (i.e., 
persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service list) and also 
parties to the appeal may participate in the remand proceedings. Such 
persons need not make any additional notice of appearances or 
applications with the Commission to participate in the remand 
proceedings, unless they are adding new individuals to the list of 
persons entitled to receive

[[Page 47821]]

business proprietary information (``BPI'') under administrative 
protective order. BPI referred to during the remand proceedings will be 
governed, as appropriate, by the administrative protective order 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 not reopening the record 
and will not accept the submission of new factual information for the 
record. The Commission will permit the parties to file comments 
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. 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 August 1, 2016. Comments shall be limited to no 
more than fifteen (15) double-spaced and single-sided pages of textual 
material.
    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 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 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.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 18, 2016.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
