joint comments in support of initiating
a changed circumstances review.
On January 15, 2023, the Commission
voted unanimously to waive its 45-day
rule for determining whether to institute
a changed circumstances review.
On June 1, 2023, Commerce initiated,
and the Commission instituted, the
fourth five-year sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on TCCSS from
Japan. 88 FR 35832; 88 FR 35920. On
September 5, 2023, the Commission
voted unanimously to conduct a full
review of the antidumping duty order
on TCCSS from Japan. 88 FR 64464
(Sept. 19, 2023).
On September 19, 2023, the
Commission determined not to institute
a changed circumstances review of the
antidumping duty order on TCCSS from
Japan. The Commission found that
conducting a changed circumstances
review was unwarranted because it
would be duplicative of the pending full
five-year review. See Eveready Battery
Co. Inc., v. United States, 77 F. Supp.
2d 1327, 1334 (Ct. Int’l Trade, Nov. 23,
1999) (finding that a request for a
changed circumstances review was
rendered moot by the Commission’s
institution of a full five-year review); see
also Diamond Sawblades and Parts
Thereof from China, 79 FR 35568–69
(June 23, 2014) (denying request for
changed circumstances review because
it would be duplicative of the ongoing
full five-year review).
