Download as PDF 23060 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 80 / Friday, April 24, 2020 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES The Commission has decided to reopen its online portal for the limited purpose of allowing members of the public to submit comments on petitions that the Commission has categorized as Category VI petitions in its preliminary report. The Commission will re-open the portal for this limited purpose on June 12, 2020, at 8:45 a.m. and close the portal on June 22, 2020, at 5:15 p.m. As discussed below, the Commission will accept only information from the public that relates to the Commission’s decision to place a petition into Category VI. Content of Comments: The public will be able to comment on the administrability of the article descriptions in a petition, the existence of domestic producer objections to a petition, and other issues affecting the placement of a petition in Category VI. In particular, the Commission seeks input that would clarify the scope of a proposed article description in a Category VI petition, including the constituent materials in the intended merchandise or similar information that would help verify the classification of the goods in chapters 1–97 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). Similarly, the Commission seeks information that could clarify technical criteria, distinguish the intended article in a petition from other goods in the same rate line, or narrow the scope of an article description to mitigate domestic producer objections as contemplated by the Act’s description of Category IV. The Commission will not consider comments that seek to broaden or materially amend the nature of the goods covered in the original article description. Procedures for Filing a Comment Who may file. Any member of the public may file comments, including the firm or its representative who filed the petition. However, the Commission will consider only comments that relate to petitions listed under Category VI in the preliminary report that the Commission submits to the Committees on June 9, 2020. The Commission will not consider comments that relate to petitions listed under Categories I, II, III, IV, and V in the preliminary report. Method for filing. Comments must be filed electronically via the Commission’s designated secure web portal and in the format designated by the Commission in that portal. You may access the portal through the Commission’s website at https:// mtbps.usitc.gov. The portal contains a series of prompts and links that will assist persons in providing the required VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Apr 23, 2020 Jkt 250001 information. The Commission will not accept or consider comments submitted in paper or in any other form or format. Comments must contain all information required in the portal in order to be considered properly filed. Comments, including any attachments thereto, must otherwise comply with the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, as further explained in the Commission’s Handbook on MTB Filing Procedures. Persons seeking to comment on more than one petition must submit a separate comment for each petition. Persons filing comments should be aware that they must be prepared to complete their entire comment when they enter the portal. The portal will not allow them to edit, amend, or complete the comment at a later time. Time for filing. To be considered, comments must be filed no earlier than June 12, 2020, at 8:45 a.m. and no later than the close of business (5:15 p.m. EST) on June 22, 2020. The Commission will not accept comments filed before or after these dates and times. Amendment and withdrawal of comments. The Commission’s secure web portal will not allow a person who has formally submitted a comment during this filing period to amend that comment. Instead, that person must withdraw the original comment and file a new comment that incorporates the changes. The new comment must be filed before 5:15 p.m. EST on June 22, 2020. Comments may not be withdrawn or amended after that time. Comments containing confidential business information. The portal will permit persons submitting comments to claim that certain information should be treated either as confidential business information or as information protected from disclosure under the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, (e.g., a home address). However, because of the portal’s design, the portal instructs that such information not be included in attachments to comments. Persons who include what they regard as confidential business information, or information protected under the Privacy Act, in attachments to their comments will be presumed to have waived any privilege and the information will be disclosed to the public when the comments and attachments are posted on the Commission’s website. See further information below on possible disclosure of confidential business information. Confidential Business Information: The Commission will not release information which the Commission considers to be confidential business information within the meaning of Rule 201.6(a) of its Rules of Practice and PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Procedure (19 CFR 201.6) unless the party submitting the confidential business information had notice, at the time of submission, that such information would be released by the Commission, or such party subsequently consents to the release of the information. Confidential business information submitted to the Commission in comments may be disclosed to or used by (1) the Commission in calculating the estimated revenue loss required under the Act, which may be based in whole or in part on the estimated values of imports submitted in comments, as well as by petitioners in their petitions; (2) the Commission, its employees, and contract personnel (a) in processing petitions and comments and preparing reports under the Act 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.
