Office of the United States Trade Representative September 30, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On August 6, 2021, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) instituted a review to determine whether the safeguard action currently in place on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (CSPV) cells (whether or not partially or fully assembled into other products), continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and whether there is evidence that the domestic industry is making a positive adjustment to import competition. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), on behalf of the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC), is announcing a process so that, in the event of an affirmative determination by the ITC, interested parties may submit views and evidence on the appropriateness of extending the safeguard measure and the action to be taken should the safeguard measure be extended. USTR also invites interested parties to participate in a public hearing regarding this matter.
