SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background. —On February 23, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
(90 FR 47337, October 1, 2025) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. (1) Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). (2)

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 and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR
part 207).

Staff report. —A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of these reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record,
and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on April 29, 2026.
A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.

Written submissions. —As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the

  notice of institution, [(3)]() and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination
  the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before May 6, 2026, and may not contain new factual information.
  Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which
  shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by May 6, 2026. However, should the Department of
  Commerce (“Commerce”) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews, 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 §§ 201.6,
  207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's *Handbook on Filing Procedures,* available on the Commission's website at *https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf,* elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.

In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the 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.

Determination. —The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant
to § 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: March 18, 2026. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2026-05508 Filed 3-19-26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020-02-P
