INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-384 and 731-TA-806-808 (Second Review)]
Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products From Brazil,
Japan, and Russia
AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Scheduling of full five-year reviews concerning the
countervailing duty order on hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality
steel products (``hot-rolled steel'') from Brazil, the antidumping duty
orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan, and the suspended
antidumping duty investigation on hot-rolled steel from Russia.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of full
reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation of the
countervailing duty order on hot-rolled steel from Brazil, the
antidumping duty orders on hot-rolled steel from Brazil and Japan, and/
or the suspended investigation on hot-rolled steel from Russia would be
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within
a reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission has determined that these
reviews are extraordinarily complicated, and will therefore exercise
its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to
19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). 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
through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19
CFR part 207).
DATES: Effective Date: October 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. On July 6, 2010, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year reviews
were such that full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Act
should proceed (75 FR 42782, July 22, 2010). A record of the
Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner's statements are available from the Office of
the Secretary and at the Commission's Web site.
Participation in the reviews and public service list. Persons,
including industrial users of the subject merchandise and, if the
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in these reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11 of the Commission's rules, by 45 days after
publication of this notice. A party that filed a notice of appearance
following publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the
reviews need not file an additional notice of appearance. The Secretary
will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
reviews.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list. Pursuant
to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary will make
BPI gathered in these reviews available to authorized applicants under
the APO issued in the reviews, provided that the application is made by
45 days after publication of this notice. Authorized applicants must
represent interested parties, as defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are
parties to the reviews. A party granted access to BPI following
publication of the Commission's notice of institution of the reviews
need not reapply for such access. A separate service list will be
maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI
under the APO.
Staff report. The prehearing staff report in the reviews will be
placed in the nonpublic record on March 17, 2011, and a public version
will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.64 of the
Commission's rules.
Hearing. The Commission will hold a hearing in connection with the
reviews beginning at 9:30 a.m. on April 6, 2011, at 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 March 29, 2011. A nonparty who has testimony that may aid
the Commission's deliberations may request permission to present a
short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to
appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should attend a
prehearing conference to be held at 9:30 a.m. on April 1, 2011, at the
U.S. International Trade Commission Building. Oral testimony and
written materials to be submitted at the public hearing are governed by
sections 201.6(b)(2), 201.13(f), 207.24, and 207.66 of the Commission's
rules. Parties must submit any request to present a portion of their
hearing testimony in camera no later than 7 business days prior to the
date of the hearing.

Written submissions. Each party to the reviews may submit a
prehearing brief to the Commission. Prehearing briefs must conform with
the provisions of section 207.65 of the Commission's rules; the
deadline for filing is March 28, 2011. Parties may also file written
testimony in connection with their presentation at the hearing, as
provided in section 207.24 of the Commission's rules, and posthearing
briefs, which must conform with the provisions of section 207.67 of the
Commission's rules. The deadline for filing posthearing briefs is April
15, 2011; witness testimony must be filed no later than three days
before the hearing. 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 April
15, 2011. On May 11, 2011, 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 May 13, 2011, 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
rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the Secretary by
facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by
section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036
(November 8, 2002). Even where electronic filing of a document is
permitted, certain documents must also be filed in paper form, as
specified in II (C) of the Commission's Handbook on Electronic Filing
Procedures, 67 FR 68168, 68173 (November 8, 2002).
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.
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.
Issued: October 6, 2010.
By order of the Commission.
