SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background In the course of this investigation the U.S. Trade Representative has imposed additional duties on products of China in four tranches. See 83 FR 28719 June 20, 2018; 83 FR 40823 August 16, 2018; 83 FR 47974 September 21, 2018 as modified by 83 FR 49153
September 28, 2018; and 84 FR 43304
August 20, 2019 as modified by 84 FR
69447 December 18, 2019 and 85 FR
3741 January 22, 2020.
For each tranche, the U.S. Trade Representative established a process by which U.S. stakeholders could request the exclusion of particular products subject to the action. The U.S. Trade Representative later established a process by which U.S. stakeholders could request the extension of particular exclusions. Additionally, on March 25, 2020, the U.S. Trade Representative requested public comments on possible further modifications to remove Section 301 duties from additional medical-care products to address the COVID19
pandemic. 85 FR 16987 March 25, 2020.
On December 29, 2020, USTR
announced the extension of 80 product exclusions on medical-care and/or COVID response products; further modifications, in the form of 19 product exclusions, to remove Section 301
duties from additional medical-care and/or COVID response products; and that USTR might consider further extensions and/or modifications as appropriate. See 85 FR 85831 the

December 29 notice. On March 10, 2021, USTR announced the extension of these 99 exclusions to September 30, 2021; and that USTR might consider further extensions and/or modifications as appropriate. See 86 FR 13785.
B. Request for Public Comments Subsequent to USTRs announcement of the extension of the 99 exclusions for COVID19 response products in March, the spread of COVID19 in the United States initially declined, and domestic production of certain products covered by these exclusions increased. With the recent spread of the Delta variant, COVID19 cases in the United States are increasing again. In light of these changing circumstances, including the ability of the United States to obtain certain products domestically or from other sources, USTR is requesting public comments on whether to extend particular exclusions for COVID19
products for up to six months.
USTR will evaluate each exclusion on a case-by-case basis. The evaluation will examine whether it remains appropriate to exclude certain products from the additional Section 301 duties in light of recent developments including the spread of the Delta variant in the United States and increased domestic production of certain products, and taking account of the overall impact of these exclusions on the goal of obtaining the elimination of Chinas acts, policies, and practices covered in this Section 301 investigation.
C. Procedures To Comment on Particular COVID19 Exclusions The 99 COVID exclusions can be found in the four annexes A, B, C, and D of the December 29 notice. To submit a comment regarding any particular COVID19 exclusion, a commenter first must register on the portal at https
comments.USTR.gov. As noted above, the public docket on the portal will be open from August 27, 2021, to September 27, 2021. After registration, the commenter may submit a comment form to the public docket. Fields on the comment form marked with an asterisk are required fields.
