SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.—On December 2, 1986, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) issued antidumping duty orders on imports of porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan (51 FR 43414). On January 20, 1987, Commerce issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea (52 FR 2138). Following five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective April 14, 2000, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty orders on porcelainon-steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan (65 FR 20136 and 21504) and, effective April 18, 2000, Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea (65 FR 20801). Following second five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective November 17, 2005, Commerce issued a continuation of the antidumping duty order on imports of top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea (70 FR 69739). Effective November 22, 2005, Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing duty order on top-of-thestove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea (70 FR 70585) and the antidumping duty orders on porcelainon-steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan (70 FR 70581). The Commission is now conducting third reviews 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. It will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full reviews or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice.

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. The Commission’s designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not considered the ‘‘same particular matter’’ as the corresponding underlying original 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)), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). This advice was developed in consultation with the Office of Government Ethics. 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 was pending when they were Commission employees.

steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan (51 FR 43414). On January 20, 
1987, Commerce issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on 
imports of top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea (52 
FR 2138). Following five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, 
effective April 14, 2000, Commerce issued a continuation of the 
antidumping duty orders on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from China 
and Taiwan (65 FR 20136 and 21504) and, effective April 18, 2000, 
Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing and antidumping 
duty orders on top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea 
(65 FR 20801). Following second five-year reviews by Commerce and the 
Commission, effective November 17, 2005, Commerce issued a continuation 
of the antidumping duty order on imports of top-of-the-stove stainless 
steel cooking ware from Korea (70 FR 69739). Effective November 22, 
2005, Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing duty order 
on top-of-the-stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea (70 FR 
70585) and the antidumping duty orders on porcelain-on-steel cooking 
ware from China and Taiwan (70 FR 70581). The Commission is now 
conducting third reviews 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. 
It will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this 
notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full reviews or 
expedited reviews. The Commission's determinations in any 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:

[[Page 62145]]

    (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is 
within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce.
    (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China, Korea, and 
Taiwan.
    (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 five-year review determinations, and its 
expedited second five-year review determinations concerning porcelain-
on-steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan, the Commission defined the 
Domestic Like Product as all porcelain-on-steel cooking ware, including 
teakettles. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Like Product 
differently in the original determinations concerning porcelain-on-
steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan. In its original 
determinations, its full first five-year review determinations, and its 
expedited second five-year review determinations concerning top-of-the-
stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea, the Commission defined 
the Domestic Like Product as all top-of-the-stove stainless steel 
cooking ware as defined in Commerce's scope.
    (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 five-year review determinations, and its expedited second 
five-year review determinations concerning porcelain-on-steel cooking 
ware from China and Taiwan, the Commission defined the Domestic 
Industry as all domestic producers of porcelain-on-steel cooking ware, 
including teakettles. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry 
differently in the original determinations concerning porcelain-on-
steel cooking ware from China and Taiwan. In the original 
determinations, its full first five-year review determinations, and its 
expedited second five-year review determinations concerning top-of-the-
stove stainless steel cooking ware from Korea, the Commission defined 
the Domestic Industry as all domestic producers of top-of-the-stove 
stainless steel cooking ware.
    (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 reviews 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 reviews 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 reviews.
    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. The Commission's designated agency 
ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not considered 
the ``same particular matter'' as the corresponding underlying original 
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)), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). This advice was developed in 
consultation with the Office of Government Ethics. 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 was pending when they were Commission 
employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Carol 
McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 202-205-3088.
    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 these reviews available to authorized 
applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, 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 reviews. 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 these reviews must certify that the information is 
accurate and complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge. In 
making the certification, the submitter will be deemed to consent, 
unless otherwise specified, for the Commission, its employees, and 
contract personnel to use the information provided in any other reviews 
or investigations of the same or comparable products which the 
Commission conducts under Title VII of the Act, or in internal audits 
and investigations relating to the programs and operations of the 
Commission pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3.
    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 November 1, 2010. 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 expedited or full reviews. The deadline for filing such 
comments is December 14, 2010. All written submissions must conform 
with the provisions of sections 201.8 and 207.3 of the Commission's 
rules and any submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the 
requirements of sections 201.6 and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The 
Commission's rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the 
Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent 
permitted by section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 
68036 (November 8, 2002). Also, 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 APO service list as appropriate), 
and a certificate of service must accompany the document (if you are 
not a party to the reviews you do not need to serve your response).
    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

[[Page 62146]]

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 in making its 
determinations in the reviews.
