an industry in the United States is
materially injured or threatened with

General information concerning the
Commission may also be obtained by
accessing its internet server (https://
www.usitc.gov). The public record for
these investigations may be viewed on
the Commission’s electronic docket
(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope.—For purposes of these
investigations, Commerce has defined
the subject merchandise as cold water
gas powered pressure washers (also
commonly known as power washers),
which are machines that clean surfaces
using water pressure that are powered
by an internal combustion engine, aircooled with a power take-off shaft, in
combination with a positive
displacement pump. This combination
of components (i.e., the internal
combustion engine, the power take-off
shaft, and the positive displacement
pump) is defined as the ‘‘power unit.’’
The scope of these investigations covers
cold water gas powered pressure
washers, whether finished or
unfinished, whether assembled or
unassembled, and whether or not
containing any additional parts or
accessories to assist in the function of
the ‘‘power unit,’’ including, but not
limited to, spray guns, hoses, lances,
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

and nozzles. The scope of these
investigations covers cold water gas
powered pressure washers, whether or
not assembled or packaged with a frame,
cart, or trolley, with or without wheels
attached.
For purposes of these investigations,
an unfinished and/or unassembled cold
water gas powered pressure washer
consists of, at a minimum, the power
unit or components of the power unit,
packaged or imported together.
Importation of the power unit whether
or not accompanied by, or attached to,
additional components including, but
not limited to a frame, spray guns,
hoses, lances, and nozzles constitutes an
unfinished cold water gas powered
pressure washer for purposes of this
scope. The inclusion in a third country
of any components other than the power
unit does not remove the cold water gas
powered pressure washer from the
scope. A cold water gas powered
pressure washer is within the scope of
this investigation regardless of the
origin of its engine. Subject
merchandise also includes finished and
unfinished cold water gas powered
pressure washers that are further
processed in a third country or in the
United States, including, but not limited
to, assembly or any other processing
that would not otherwise remove the
merchandise from the scope of this
investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the in-scope
cold water gas powered pressure
washers.
The scope excludes hot water gas
powered pressure washers, which are
pressure washers that include a heating
element used to heat the water sprayed
from the machine.
Also specifically excluded from the
scope of these investigations is
merchandise covered by the scope of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on certain vertical shaft engines
between 99cc and up to 225cc, and parts
thereof from the People’s Republic of
China. See Certain Vertical Shaft
Engines Between 99 cc and Up to 225cc,
and Parts Thereof from the People’s
Republic of China: Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 86 FR
023675 (May 4, 2021).
The cold water gas powered pressure
washers subject to these investigations
are classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
at subheadings 8424.30.9000 and
8424.90.9040. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled

proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or hearings will be furnished to
those parties that have made a timely written request for such notice
