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 8424.30.90 and 8424.90.90 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') that have 
been 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 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 
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.
    For further information concerning this proceeding see the 
Commission's notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 
207, subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207).

rules, each document filed by a party to the investigations must be 
served on all other parties to the investigations (as identified by

filing without a certificate of service.
    Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic 
filings during this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's 
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov.)
