SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On February 21, 1995, the Department of Commerce
issued antidumping duty orders on imports of stainless steel bar from
Brazil, India, and Japan (60 FR 9661). On March 2, 1995, the Department
of Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on imports of stainless
steel bar from Spain (60 FR 11656). Following first five-year reviews
by Commerce and the Commission, effective April 18, 2001, Commerce
issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on imports of
stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain (66 FR 19919).
Following second five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission,
effective January 23, 2007, Commerce issued a continuation of the
antidumping duty orders on imports of stainless steel bar from Brazil,
India, Japan, and Spain (72 FR 2858). Following the third five-year
reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective August 9, 2012,
Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on
imports of stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain (77
FR 47595). The Commission is now conducting fourth five-year reviews
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)),
to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic
industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning
the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR parts 201, subparts A and B and 19
CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy
of interested party responses to this notice of institution to
determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The
Commission's determinations in expedited reviews will be based on the
facts available, which may include information provided in response to
this notice.
Definitions.--The following definitions apply to these reviews:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is
within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by the Department
of Commerce.
(2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are Brazil, India,
Japan, and Spain.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product
or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original
determinations, its full first and second five-year review
determinations, and its expedited third five-year review
determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all
stainless steel bar coextensive with Commerce's scope. One Commissioner
defined the Domestic Like Product differently in the original
determinations.
(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the
Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of
the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total
domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, its
full first and second five-year review determinations, and its
expedited third five-year review determinations, the Commission defined
the Domestic Industry as domestic producers of stainless steel bar. One
Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry differently in the original
determinations.
(5) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or
through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject
Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or
through its selling agent.
Participation in the proceeding 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 the proceeding as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, no later
than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names
and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties
to the proceeding.
Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission
five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if
they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding
underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same
underlying investigation. The Commission's designated agency ethics
official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular
matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review
is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same
underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post
employment

statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR
201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008).
Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission
approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15,
even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an
earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when
they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this
matter, contact Charles Smith, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 202-
205-3408.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary
will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the
application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent
interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to
the proceeding. A separate service list will be maintained by the
Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
Certification.--Pursuant to section 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, any person submitting information to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding must certify that the information is
accurate and complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge. In
making the certification, the submitter will acknowledge that
information submitted in response to this request for information and
throughout this proceeding or other proceeding may be disclosed to and
used: (i) By the Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract
personnel (a) for developing or maintaining the records of this or a
related proceeding, or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews,
and evaluations relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of
the Commission including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S.
government employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity
purposes. All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure
agreements.
Written submissions.--Pursuant to section 207.61 of the
Commission's rules, each interested party response to this notice must
provide the information specified below. The deadline for filing such
responses is August 2, 2017. Pursuant to section 207.62(b) of the
Commission's rules, eligible parties (as specified in Commission rule
207.62(b)(1)) may also file comments concerning the adequacy of
responses to the notice of institution and whether the Commission
should conduct an expedited or full reviews. The deadline for filing
such comments is September 14, 2017. 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 https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission's
rules with respect to electronic filing. Also, in accordance with
sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's rules, each document
filed by a party to the proceeding must be served on all other parties
to the proceeding (as identified by either the public or APO service
list as appropriate), and a certificate of service must accompany the
document (if you are not a party to the proceeding you do not need to
serve your response).
No response to this request for information is required if a
currently valid Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') number is not
displayed; the OMB number is 3117 0016/USITC No. 17-5-391, expiration
date June 30, 2020. Public reporting burden for the request is
estimated to average 15 hours per response. Please send comments
regarding the accuracy of this burden estimate to the Office of
Investigations, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20436.
Inability to provide requested information.--Pursuant to section
207.61(c) of the Commission's rules, any interested party that cannot
furnish the information requested by this notice in the requested form
and manner shall notify the Commission at the earliest possible time,
provide a full explanation of why it cannot provide the requested
information, and indicate alternative forms in which it can provide
equivalent information. If an interested party does not provide this
notification (or the Commission finds the explanation provided in the
notification inadequate) and fails to provide a complete response to
this notice, the Commission may take an adverse inference against the
party pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1677e(b)) in
making its determinations in the reviews.
