SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
June 8, 2023, the Commission
established a general schedule for the
conduct of the final phase of its
countervailing duty and antidumping
duty investigations on gas powered
pressure washers from China and
Vietnam (88 FR 40865, June 22, 2023),
following preliminary determinations
by the U.S. Department of Commerce
(‘‘Commerce’’) that imports of gas
powered pressure washers from China
were being subsidized by the
government of China (88 FR 36531, June
5, 2023) and that imports of gas
powered pressure washers from
Vietnam are being sold in the United
States at less than fair value (88 FR
39221, June 15, 2023). Subsequently, on
August 3, 2023, Commerce issued a
preliminary affirmative antidumping
duty determination with respect to gas
powered pressure washers from China
(88 FR 51279). Notice of the scheduling
of the final phase of the Commission’s
investigations and of a public hearing
held in connection therewith was given
by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register on June
22, 2023 (88 FR 40865). All persons who
requested the opportunity were
permitted to participate.
Commerce issued a final affirmative
antidumping duty determination with
respect to gas powered pressure washers
from Vietnam (88 FR 59503, August 29,
2023). The Commission subsequently
issued its final determination that an
industry in the United States was
materially injured by reason of imports
of gas powered pressure washers from
Vietnam provided for in subheadings

found by Commerce to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (88
FR 71885, October 18, 2023).
Commerce has issued a final
affirmative antidumping duty
determination (88 FR 88365, December
21, 2023) and a final affirmative
countervailing duty determination (88

from China. Accordingly, the
Commission currently is issuing a
supplemental schedule for its
countervailing duty and antidumping
duty investigations on imports of gas
powered pressure washers from China.
This supplemental schedule is as
follows: the deadline for filing
supplemental party comments on
Commerce’s final countervailing duty
and antidumping duty determinations is
5:15 p.m. on January 5, 2024.
Supplemental party comments may
address only Commerce’s final
countervailing duty and antidumping
duty determinations regarding imports
of gas powered pressure washers from
China. These supplemental final
comments may not contain new factual
information and may not exceed five (5)
pages in length. The supplemental staff
report in the final phase of the current
investigations will be placed in the
nonpublic record on January 17, 2024,
and a public version will be issued
thereafter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On February 19, 2019,
the Department of Commerce
(‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on imports of
rubber bands from China (84 FR 4774).
On April 26, 2019, Commerce issued an
antidumping duty order on imports of
rubber bands from Thailand (84 FR
17779). The Commission is conducting
reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to
determine whether revocation of the
orders would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to the domestic industry within
a reasonably foreseeable time.
Provisions concerning the conduct of
this proceeding may be found in the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts
A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts
A and F. The Commission will assess
the adequacy of interested party
responses to this notice of institution to
determine whether to conduct full or
expedited reviews. The Commission’s
determinations in any expedited
reviews will be based on the facts
available, which may include
information provided in response to this
notice.
Definitions.—The following
definitions apply to these reviews:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or
kind of merchandise that is within the
scope of the five-year reviews, as
defined by Commerce.
(2) The Subject Countries in these
reviews are China and Thailand.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the
domestically produced product or
products which are like, or in the
absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the
Subject Merchandise. In its original
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
91
determinations, the Commission
defined a single Domestic Like Product
consisting of rubber bands, coextensive
with Commerce’s scope.
(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S.
producers as a whole of the Domestic
Like Product, or those producers whose
collective output of the Domestic Like
Product constitutes a major proportion
of the total domestic production of the
product. In its original determinations,
the Commission defined the Domestic
Industry as all U.S. producers of the
domestic like product.
(5) The Order Dates are the dates that
the antidumping and countervailing
duty orders under review became
effective. In these reviews, the Order
Date with respect to China is February
19, 2019, and the Order Date with
respect to Thailand is April 26, 2019.
(6) An Importer is any person or firm
engaged, either directly or through a
parent company or subsidiary, in
importing the Subject Merchandise into
the United States from a foreign
manufacturer or through its selling
agent.
Participation in the proceeding 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 the proceeding as parties
must file an entry of appearance with
the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, no later than 21
days after publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. The Secretary will
maintain a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
or their representatives, who are parties
to the proceeding.
Former Commission employees who
are seeking to appear in Commission
five-year reviews are advised that they
may appear in a review even if they
participated personally and
substantially in the corresponding
underlying original investigation or an
earlier review of the same underlying
investigation. The Commission’s
designated agency ethics official has
advised that a five-year review is not the
same particular matter as the underlying
original investigation, and a five-year
review is not the same particular matter
as an earlier review of the same
underlying investigation for purposes of
18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment
statute for Federal employees, and
Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR
201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014),
73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008).
Consequently, former employees are not
required to seek Commission approval
to appear in a review under Commission

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective June 8, 2023, the Commission
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of
its countervailing duty and antidumping duty investigations on gas
powered pressure washers from China and Vietnam (88 FR 40865, June 22,
2023), following preliminary determinations by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of gas powered pressure washers

from Vietnam are being sold in the United States at less than fair
value (88 FR 39221, June 15, 2023). Subsequently, on August 3, 2023,
Commerce issued a preliminary affirmative antidumping duty
determination with respect to gas powered pressure washers from China
(88 FR 51279). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the

Commerce issued a final affirmative antidumping duty determination
with respect to gas powered pressure washers from Vietnam (88 FR 59503,

fair value (88 FR 71885, October 18, 2023).
Commerce has issued a final affirmative antidumping duty
determination (88 FR 88365, December 21, 2023) and a final affirmative
countervailing duty determination (88 FR 88578, December 22, 2023) with
respect to gas powered pressure washers from China. Accordingly, the
Commission currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its
countervailing duty and antidumping duty investigations on imports of
gas powered pressure washers from China.
This supplemental schedule is as follows: the deadline for filing
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final countervailing duty and
antidumping duty determinations is 5:15 p.m. on January 5, 2024.
Supplemental party comments may address only Commerce's final

imports of gas powered pressure washers from China. These supplemental
final comments may not contain new factual information and may not
exceed five (5) pages in length. The supplemental staff report in the
final phase of the current investigations will be placed in the
nonpublic record on January 17, 2024, and a public version will be
issued thereafter.
