a hearing in connection with the

U.S. International Trade Commission
Building. Requests to appear at the
hearing should be filed in writing with
the Secretary to the Commission on or
before September 17, 2018. A nonparty

nonparties desiring to appear at the
hearing and make oral presentations
should participate in a prehearing
conference to be held on September 24,
2018, at the U.S. International Trade

of section 207.65 of the Commission’s
rules; the deadline for filing is
September 13, 2018. Parties may also

Commission’s rules. The deadline for
filing posthearing briefs is October 4,
2018. In addition, any person who has
not entered an appearance as a party to
the reviews may submit a written
statement of information pertinent to
the subject of the reviews on or before
October 4, 2018. On October 26, 2018,
the Commission will make available to
parties all information on which they
have not had an opportunity to
comment. Parties may submit final
comments on this information on or
before October 30, 2018, but such final
comments must not contain new factual
information and must otherwise comply
with section 207.68 of the Commission’s
rules. 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 website at https://
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
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.
The Commission has determined that
these reviews are extraordinarily
complicated and therefore has
determined to exercise its authority to
extend the review period by up to 90
days pursuant to 19 U.S.C.
1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: These reviews are being
conducted under authority of title VII of the
Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published
pursuant to section 207.62 of the
Commission’s rules.
