SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 3, 2024, the Commission 
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of 
its investigations on paper shopping bags from Cambodia, China, 
Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam \1\ 
following preliminary determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') that imports of paper shopping bags from China and India 
were being subsidized by the governments of China and India and that 
imports of paper shopping bags from Cambodia, China, Colombia, India, 
Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam were being sold in the 
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\ Notice of the 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of 
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. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register on January 18, 2024, (89 FR 3424). The 
Commission conducted its hearing on March 14, 2024.

    The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
imports of paper shopping bags from Turkey that Commerce had determined 
were sold at LTFV in the United States.\3\ Commerce issued its final 
affirmative determinations that imports of paper shopping bags from 
Cambodia, China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, and 
Vietnam were being sold at LTFV in the United States and that imports 
of paper shopping bags from China and India were being subsidized by 
the governments of China and India.\4\ Accordingly, the Commission 
currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its antidumping and 
countervailing duty investigations on imports of product from Cambodia, 
China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
