SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 2013, the Commission posted 
a notification on its Web site, that if the Commission did not receive 
funding by 8:45 a.m. on October 1, 2013, the agency would shut down its 
investigative activities for the duration of the absence of an 
appropriation. The notice stated that if a shutdown occurred, the 
schedules and deadlines for all investigative and pre-institution 
activities would be tolled by the number of days for which the 
government was shut down. The notice further indicated that the 
Commission would reconsider schedules after resuming operations.
    The Commission was unable to operate from October 1, 2013 to 
October 16, 2013 because of an absence of appropriations. Accordingly, 
all statutory deadlines pertaining to activities conducted under the 
authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 (including antidumping 
and countervailing duty investigations and reviews) will be tolled 16 
calendar days. Additionally, the Commission is revising its schedules 
for individual proceedings to reflect the tolling of deadlines, which, 
unless otherwise indicated, have been extended 16 calendar days. 
Individual case schedules will be revised and posted on the 
Commission's Web site (www.usitc.gov) and separate Federal Register 
notices will be issued where appropriate.
    The Commission's new scheduled dates for conferences in preliminary 
phase investigations and submission of postconference briefs are as
