SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On March 6, 2020, the
Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (84
FR 66005, December 2, 2019) of the
subject five-year review was adequate
and that the respondent interested party
group response was inadequate. The
Commission did not find any other
circumstances that would warrant
conducting a full review.1 Accordingly,
the Commission determined that it
would conduct an expedited review
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 this review 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,

207).
Please note the Secretary’s Office will
accept only electronic filings at this
time. Filings must be made through the
Commission’s Electronic Document
Information System (EDIS, https://
edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any
electronic filings will be accepted until
further notice.
Staff report.—A staff report
containing information concerning the
subject matter of the review will be
placed in the nonpublic record on May
19, 2020, and made available to persons
on the Administrative Protective Order
service list for this review. 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 review and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,2 and any party
other than an interested party to the
review may file written comments with
the Secretary on what determination the
Commission should reach in the review.
Comments are due on or before May 26,
2020 and may not contain new factual
information. Any person that is neither
a party to the five-year review nor an
interested party may submit a brief
written statement (which shall not
contain any new factual information)
pertinent to the review by May 26, 2020.
However, should the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) extend the
time limit for its completion of the final
results of its review, 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,
1 A record of the Commissioners’ votes, the

Commission’s website.
2 The Commission has found the joint response
submitted by Prince Specialty Products LLC and
Borman Specialty Materials to be individually
adequate. Comments from other interested parties
will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
