INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. TA-201-076 (Extension)]


Large Residential Washers: Extension of Action

Determination

    On the basis of the information in this investigation, the United 
States International Trade Commission (``Commission'') determines, 
pursuant to section 204(c) of the Trade Act of 1974 (``the Act'') (19 
U.S.C. 2254(c)), that action under section 203 of the Act with respect 
to imports of large residential washers continues to be necessary to 
prevent or remedy serious injury and that there is evidence that the 
domestic large residential washers industry is making a positive 
adjustment to import competition.

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), 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.

a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
