I have determined that the damage in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On January 23, 2018,
the President, pursuant to section 203 of
the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2253)
(Trade Act), issued Proclamation 9694,
imposing a safeguard measure on
imports of certain large residential
washers and parts thereof in the form of
tariff-rate quotas. The proclamation was
published in the Federal Register on
January 25, 2018 (83 FR 3553). The
measure took effect on February 7, 2018,
for a period of three years and one day,
or through February 7, 2021. The
President imposed the measure
following receipt of a report from the
Commission in December 2017 under
section 202 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C.
2252) that contained an affirmative
determination, remedy
recommendations, and certain
additional findings (see Large
Residential Washers, investigation No.
TA–201–076, USITC Publication 4745,
December 2017).
Section 204(a)(1) of the Trade Act (19
U.S.C. 2254(a)(1)) requires the
Commission to monitor developments
with respect to the domestic industry,
including the progress and specific
efforts made by workers and firms in the
domestic industry to make a positive
adjustment to import competition, as
long as any action under section 203 of
the Trade Act remains in effect.
Whenever the initial period of such an
action exceeds 3 years, section 204(a)(2)
requires the Commission to submit a
report on the results of the monitoring
to the President and the Congress no
later than the mid-point of the initial
period of the relief—in this case by
August 7, 2019. Section 204(a)(3)
requires the Commission to hold a
hearing in the course of preparing each
such report.
For further information concerning
the conduct of this investigation,
hearing procedures, 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 206, subparts A and F (19
CFR part 206).
Participation in the investigation and
service list.—Persons wishing to
participate in the investigation 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, not later than 21
days after publication of this notice in

the Federal Register. The Secretary will
prepare a service list containing the
names and addresses of all persons, or
their representatives, who are parties to
this investigation upon the expiration of
the period for filing entries of
appearance.
Limited disclosure of confidential
business information (CBI).—Pursuant
to section 206.17 of the Commission’s
rules, the Secretary will make CBI
gathered in this investigation available
to authorized applicants representing
interested parties (as defined in 19 CFR
206.17(a)(3)(iii)) under an
administrative protective order (APO)
issued in the investigation, provided
that the application is made not later
than 21 days after the publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. A
separate service list will be maintained
by the Secretary for those parties
authorized to receive CBI under the
APO.
The Commission may include CBI in
the report it sends to the President and
to the U.S. Trade Representative.
Additionally, all information, including
CBI, submitted in this investigation may
be disclosed to and used by (i) the
Commission, its employees and Offices,
and contract personnel (a) for
developing or maintaining the records
of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in
internal investigations, audits, reviews,
and evaluations relating to the
programs, personnel, and operations of
the Commission including under 5
U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S.
government employees and contract
personnel for cybersecurity purposes.
The Commission will not release
information which the Commission
considers to be confidential business
information unless the party submitting
the confidential business information
had notice, at the time of submission,
that such information would be released
by the Commission, or such party
subsequently consents to the release of
the information. The Commission will
not otherwise disclose any CBI in a
manner that would reveal the operations
of the firm supplying the information.
Public hearing.—As required by
statute, the Commission has scheduled
a hearing in connection with this
investigation. The hearing will be held
beginning at 9:30 a.m. on June 25, 2019,
at the U.S. International Trade
Commission Building, 500 E Street SW,
