SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On August 5, 2019, the Commission determined that
responses to its notice of institution of the subject five-year review
were such that a full review should proceed (84 FR 43615, August 21,
2019); accordingly, a full review is being scheduled pursuant to
section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). 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 website.
Participation in the review 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 this review 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
review 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
review.
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),

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 this review available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the review, 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 review. A party granted
access to BPI following publication of the Commission's notice of
institution of the review 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 review will be
placed in the nonpublic record on January 7, 2020, 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
review beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 23, 2020, at the

hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission
on or before January 15, 2020. A nonparty who has testimony that may

short statement at the hearing. All parties and nonparties desiring to
appear at the hearing and make oral presentations should participate in
a prehearing conference to be held on January 22, 2020, at the U.S.
International Trade Commission Building, if deemed necessary. 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

information pertinent to the subject of the review on or before January
31, 2020. On February 26, 2020, 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 February 28, 2020, but such final comments must not contain new

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.

rules, each document filed by a party to the review must be served on
all other parties to the review (as identified by either the public or
