Sec. 207.62  Rulings on adequacy and nature of Commission review.

    (a) Basis for rulings on adequacy. The Commission will assess the 
adequacy of aggregate interested party responses to the notice of 
institution with respect to each order or suspension agreement under 
review and, where the underlying affirmative Commission determination 
found multiple domestic like products, on the basis of each domestic 
like product.
    (b) Comments to the Commission. (1) Comments to the Commission 
concerning whether the Commission should conduct an expedited review may 
be submitted by:
    (i) Any interested party that is a party to the five-year review and 
that has responded to the notice of institution; and
    (ii) Any party, other than an interested party, that is a party to 
the five-year review.
    (2) Comments shall be submitted within the time specified in the 
notice of institution. In a grouped review, only one set of comments 
shall be filed per party per group. Comments shall not exceed fifteen 
(15) pages of textual material, double-spaced and single-sided, on 
stationery measuring 8\1/2\ x 11 inches. Comments containing new factual 
information shall be disregarded.
    (c) Notice of scheduling of full review. If the Commission concludes 
that interested parties' responses to the notice of institution are 
adequate, or otherwise determines that a full review should proceed, 
investigative activities pertaining to that review will continue. The 
Commission will publish in the Federal Register a notice of scheduling 
pertaining to subsequent procedures in the review.
    (d) Procedures for expedited reviews. (1) If the Commission 
concludes that interested parties' responses to the notice of 
institution are inadequate, it may decide to conduct an expedited 
review. In that event, the Commission shall direct the Secretary to 
issue a notice stating that the Commission has decided to conduct an 
expedited review and inviting those parties to the review described in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section to file written comments with the 
Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the 
review. The date on which such comments must be filed will be specified 
in the notice to be issued by the Secretary. Comments containing new 
factual information shall be disregarded.
    (2) The following parties may file the comments described in 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section:
    (i) Any interested party that is a party to the five-year review and 
that

has filed an adequate response to the notice of institution; and
    (ii) Any party, other than an interested party, that is a party to 
the five-year review.
    (3) 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 within 
the time specified for the filing of written comments.
    (4) The Director shall prepare and place in the record, prior to the 
date on which the comments described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section 
must be filed, a staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the review. A version of the staff report containing 
business proprietary information shall be placed in the nonpublic record 
and made available to persons authorized to receive business proprietary 
information under Sec. 207.7, and a nonbusiness proprietary version of 
the staff report shall be placed in the public record.
    (e) Use of facts available. The Commission's determination in an 
expedited review will be based on the facts available, in accordance 
with section 776 of the Act.
