Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 12 / Friday, January 17, 2014 / Notices
matter was formed early in the conduct
of the five-year reviews. By 2008,
however, the Commission had
conducted more than 175 reviews. With
regard to the factors outlined in OGE’s
regulations defining ‘‘same particular
matter,’’ experience had shown that a
review differs in important respects
from the underlying original
investigation. In particular significant
changes often have occurred in the
markets and industries during the lapse
of time between the original
investigation and the review.
In five-year reviews, the Commission
must take into account the volume,
price effect, and impact of the subject
imports on the industry before the order
was in place. However, the
Commission’s experience has been that
most of the key information for making
the required forward-looking
determination is the most current
information developed on the record as
part of the five-year review process.
When making his determination that
five-year reviews of the same underlying
original investigation are all different
particular matters, the DAEO considered
issues such as whether expedited and
full reviews should be distinguished or
whether the five-year reviews should all
be considered the same particular
matter. The DAEO’s conclusion that
neither five-year reviews nor the
underlying original investigation are the
same particular matter was based on a
number of factors. First, those factors
listed in OGE’s regulations defining
‘‘same particular matter’’ support the
finding. OGE’s regulations provide that
‘‘all relevant factors should be
considered, including the extent to
which the matters involve the same
basic facts, the same or related parties,
related issues, the same confidential
information, and the amount of time
elapsed.’’ 5 CFR 2641.201(h)(5). The
analysis used by the Commission in
reviews relies primarily on the newly
developed record to determine not what
has happened in the past but rather
what is likely to happen if the order
under review is revoked. The focus in
the reviews is generally not the
information from the record of the
original investigation or previous
reviews, but rather new information
developed for the record of the current
five-year review. Five years elapse
between each review, during which
economic and marketplace
developments can change the basic facts
and confidential information considered
by the Commission. In the five years
between reviews, the identity of the
relevant parties, such as domestic and
foreign manufacturers and purchasers,
could also change. The DAEO also
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:00 Jan 16, 2014
Jkt 232001
considered the fact that each review of
an underlying original investigation is
treated as a different case upon judicial
review.
In accordance with the DAEO’s
interpretation of both the statute and the
Commission’s experience in five-year
reviews, appearances of former
employees in Commission five-year
reviews will be treated under 18 U.S.C.
207 as appearances that are not in the
same particular matter as either the
underlying investigation or any other
five-year review stemming from the
same underlying original investigation.
In addition, the Commission has
traditionally applied 19 U.S.C. 201.15(b)
consistently with the application of 18
U.S.C. 207, and therefore, for that
provision, will not consider a review to
be the same matter as the underlying
original investigation or any other
review based on that underlying
investigation. Consequently, former
employees no longer need to seek
approval from the Commission to
appear in a review even if the
underlying original investigation or an
earlier review of the underlying
investigation had been pending while
they were employees.
Issued: January 13, 2014.
By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
