The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission) is now accepting public comments on how the Commission can best meet its statutory obligations under Section 338(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1338(g)). The notice requesting comments has been published on the Commission’s website and will be published in the Federal Register. 

Under Section 338, the Commission investigates instances of discrimination against U.S. commerce and advises the President on these matters. Comments from this notice will help guide the Commission's next steps regarding its Section 338(g) responsibilities. 

The publication of this notice follows several years of internal deliberation and careful review of the Commission’s prior work under this statute and its predecessor, Section 317 of the Tariff Act of 1922. As in the Commission’s other mission areas, thoroughness, impartiality, independence, and nonpartisanship are essential to carrying out this work. 

Comments must be filed by 5:15 p.m. on November 8, 2026. All comments should be addressed to the Secretary to the Commission, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436, and must submitted through the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) or via email at Secretary@usitc.gov. 

For questions on electronic filing, contact the Office of the Secretary, Docket Services Division (EDIS3Help@usitc.gov or 202–205–1802), or consult the Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures and the Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8).
