INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-684 and 731-TA-1597-1598 (Preliminary)]
Gas Powered Pressure Washers From China and Vietnam
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of gas powered
pressure washers from China and Vietnam, provided for in subheading
8424.30.90 and 8424.90.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less
than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the government of
China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 88 FR 4807 and 88 FR4812 (January 25, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase
[[Page 10379]]
notice of scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register
as provided in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from
the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative
preliminary determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.
703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are
negative, upon notice of affirmative final determinations in those
investigations under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties
that filed entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the
investigations need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase
of the investigations. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations.
Background
On December 30, 2022, FNA Group, Inc., Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin
filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an
industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with
material injury by reason of subsidized imports of gas powered pressure
washers from China and LTFV imports of gas powered pressure washers
from China and Vietnam. Accordingly, effective December 30, 2022, the
Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No.701-TA-684
and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1597-1598 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference 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 of January 6, 2023 (88 FR 1093). The
Commission conducted its conference on January 20, 2023. All persons
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on
February 13, 2023. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5409 (February 2023), entitled Gas Powered Pressure Washers
from China and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-684 and 731-TA-1597-
1598 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: February 14, 2023.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
