General information concerning the
Commission may also be obtained by

these reviews may be viewed on the
Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS)
at https://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.— On December 5, 2016,
the Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (81
FR 60386, September 1, 2016) of the
subject five-year reviews was adequate.
The Commission also determined that
the respondent interested party group
response with respect to the order on
sulfanilic acid from China was adequate
but that the respondent interested party
group response with respect to the
orders on sulfanilic acid from India was
inadequate. However, on November 18,
2016, the sole participating respondent
interested party, in the review on
sulfanilic acid from China (Archroma),
withdrew its position and statements
that advocated for revocation of the
order. The Commission therefore
determined that it would not be
appropriate to conduct a full review of
the order concerning China. The
Commission did not find any
circumstances that warranted
conducting full reviews with respect to
the orders concerning India.1
Accordingly, the Commission
determined that it would conduct
expedited reviews pursuant to section
751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
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).
Staff report.—A staff report
containing information concerning the
subject matter of the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on
December 15, 2016, and made available
to persons on the Administrative
Protective Order service list for these
reviews. A public version will be issued
thereafter, pursuant to section
207.62(d)(4) of the Commission’s rules.
Written submissions.—As provided in
section 207.62(d) of the Commission’s
rules, interested parties that are parties
to the reviews and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,2 and any party
other than an interested party to the
reviews may file written comments with
the Secretary on what determinations
the Commission should reach in the
reviews. Comments are due on or before
December 22, 2016 and may not contain
new factual information. Any person
that is neither a party to the five-year
reviews nor an interested party may
submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual
information) pertinent to the reviews by
December 22, 2016. However, should
the Department of Commerce extend the
time limit for its completion of the final
results of its reviews, the deadline for
comments (which may not contain new
factual information) on Commerce’s
final results is three business days after
the issuance of Commerce’s results. If
comments contain business proprietary
information (BPI), they must conform
with the requirements of sections 201.6,
207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s
rules. The Commission’s rules with
respect to filing were revised effective
July 25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 (June 25,
2014), and the revised Commission
Handbook on E-filing, available from the
Commission’s Web site at https://
edis.usitc.gov.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c)
and 207.3 of the 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.
Determinations.—The Commission
has determined these reviews are
extraordinarily complicated and
therefore has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by
1 A record of the Commissioners’ votes, the
Commission’s statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner’s statements will be
available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission’s Web site.
2 The Commission has found the responses
submitted by Nation Ford Chemical Co. and
Archroma U.S., Inc. to be individually adequate.
Comments from other interested parties will not be
accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).

the Settling Defendants to: (1) Develop

requirements from a consent decree
entered into by the Parties in 2003 in
Civil Action No. 2:78–cv–29 and 86–540

resolve the Settling Defendants’ civil
liability for the violations alleged in the
