COMMISSION 

[MISC–050]

Presentation of Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The United States 

International Trade Commission invites 

public input on specific ways in which 

it could improve its presentation of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTS). 

DATES: To be assured of consideration, 

comments must be submitted by 5:15 

p.m. on or before February 7, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: All Commission offices are 

in the United States International Trade 

Commission Building, 500 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC. You may submit 

comments identified by docket number 

MISC–050, via the Commission’s 

Electronic Document Information 

System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov). 

All submissions should be addressed to 

the Secretary and must conform to the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8 

and the Commission’s Handbook on 

Filing Procedures (https://

www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_

on_filing_procedures.pdf) require that 

interested parties file documents 

electronically on or before the filing 

deadline. Persons with questions 

regarding filing should contact the 

Secretary at EDIS3Help@usitc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

International Trade Commission 

(Commission or USITC) is an 

independent and nonpartisan federal 

agency with specific responsibilities in 

adjudicating and enforcing certain U.S. 

trade laws, providing relevant and 

timely analyses to the President and 

Congress on trade issues, and 

maintaining the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTS). 

Subtitle B of Title I of the Omnibus 

Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 

(1988 Act) (19 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.) 

requires the Commission to compile and 

publish the HTS, at appropriate 

intervals, and also requires the 

Commission to keep the HTS under 

continuous review. Section 1207(b) of 

the 1988 Act specifies the types of 

information that the Commission must 

include in the HTS that it compiles and 

publishes. It provides that the 

publications described in section 

1207(a) shall contain, in whatever 

format— 

(1) the then current Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule; 

(2) statistical annotations and related 

statistical information formulated under 

[19 U.S.C 1484(f)]; and 

(3) such other matters as the 

Commission considers to be necessary 

or appropriate to carry out the purposes 

enumerated in the Preamble to the 

Convention. 

In 2015, the Commission deployed a 

document-oriented database application 

to fulfill its statutory mission of 

maintaining the HTS. This application 

is accessible to the public at https://

hts.usitc.gov. The goal was to ensure 

accuracy and reliability through internal 

controls and process consistency. 

Pursuant to its strategic objective to 

manage and leverage data as an asset, 

the Commission is currently considering 

ways to improve or replace the existing 

application and the manner in which 

the Commission provides HTS and 

related tariff information. To this end, 

the Commission is seeking input from 

the public on user experience of the 

HTS and related tariff information. 

Namely, we are looking for comments 

on the following topics: 

—Your ability to navigate between parts 

of the HTS to find the information 

you need. 

—Your ability to use HTS information 

for your needs. 

—Your ability to compare changes in 

the HTS. 

—Your ability to find and access HTS 

information. 

Written submissions: To be assured of 

consideration by the Commission, 

written submissions related to the 

Commission’s request for public input 

should be submitted at the earliest 

practical date and should be received 

not later than 5:15 p.m., February 7, 

2025. All written submissions must 

conform to the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8), 

as temporarily amended by 85 FR 15798 

(March 19, 2020). Under that rule 

waiver, the Office of the Secretary will 

accept only electronic filings at this 

time. Filings must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov). No in-person, paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. Persons with questions 

regarding electronic filing should 

contact the Office of the Secretary, 

Docket Services Division (202–205– 

1802), or consult the Commission’s 

Handbook on Filing Procedures. 

Confidential business information: Do 

not submit confidential business 

information (CBI) or otherwise sensitive 

or protected information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as ‘‘disposable 

aluminum containers, pans, trays, and 

lids produced primarily from flat-rolled 

aluminum. The subject merchandise 

includes disposable aluminum 

containers, pans, trays, and lids 

regardless of shape or size and whether 

or not wrinkled or smooth. 

The term ‘‘disposable’’ is used to 

identify an aluminum article that is 

designed to be used once, or for a 

limited number of times, and then 

recycled or otherwise disposed. 

‘‘Containers, pans, and trays’’ are 

receptacles for holding goods. 

The subject disposable aluminum lids 

are intended to be used in combination 

with disposable containers produced 

from aluminum or other materials (e.g., 

paper or plastic). Where a disposable 

aluminum lid is imported with a nonaluminum container, only the 

disposable aluminum lid is included in 

the scope . . .’’ 1

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of 

affirmative preliminary determinations 

by Commerce that certain benefits 

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of § 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in China of disposable aluminum 

containers, pans, trays, and lids, and 

that such products are being sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of § 733 of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1673b). The investigations 

were requested in petitions filed on May 

16, 2024, by the Aluminum Foil 

Container Manufacturers Association, 

Lexington, Kentucky, and its individual 

members Durable Packaging 

International, Wheeling, Illinois; D&W 

Fine Pack, LLC, Wood Dale, Illinois; 

Handi-Foil Corp., Wheeling, Illinois; 

Penny Plate, LLC, Fishersville, Virginia; 

Reynolds Consumer Products, LLC, 

Lake Forest, Illinois; Shah Foil 

Products, Inc., Piscataway Township, 

New Jersey; Smart USA, Inc., Bay Shore, 

New York; and Trinidad/Benham Corp., 

Denver, Colorado. 

For further information concerning 

the conduct of this phase of the 

investigations, hearing procedures, and 

rules of general application, consult 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). 

Participation in the investigations and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the final phase of these 

investigations as parties must file an 

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

§ 201.11 of the Commission’s rules, no 

later than 21 days prior to the hearing 

date specified in this notice. A party 

that filed a notice of appearance during 

the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not file an 

additional notice of appearance during 

this final phase. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the investigations. 

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). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. 

Limited disclosure of business 

proprietary information (BPI) under an 

administrative protective order (APO) 

and BPI service list.—Pursuant to 

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the 

Secretary will make BPI gathered in the 

final phase of these investigations 

available to authorized applicants under 

the APO issued in the investigations, 

provided that the application is made 

no later than 21 days prior to the 

hearing date specified in this notice. 

Authorized applicants must represent 

interested parties, as defined by 19 

U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the 

investigations. A party granted access to 

BPI in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not reapply for such 

access. A separate service list will be 

maintained by the Secretary for those 

parties authorized to receive BPI under 

the APO. 

Staff report.—The prehearing staff 

report in the final phase of these 

investigations will be placed in the 

nonpublic record on March 4, 2025, and
