`Re: Complaint Filed by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and R.J.
`Reynolds Vapor Company Concerning Certain Disposable Vaporizer
`Devices and Components and Packaging Thereof (Docket No. 3700)
`
`
`Dear Mr. Davis:
`
`
`The Commission is in receipt of your November 2, 2023, letter requesting a
`postponement of the deadline by which the Commission must decide whether to institute
`a Section 337 investigation based on the above-referenced complaint.
`
`Under Commission Rule 210.10(a)(1), 19 C.F.R. § 210.10(a)(1), the Commission
`may extend the 30-day deadline for voting on institution of an investigation based upon a
`request by complainant that the Commission extend the deadline. Rule 210.10(a)(4)
`authorizes the Commission to reschedule the determination on institution “for whatever
`date is appropriate in light of the facts.” 19 C.F.R. § 210.10(a)(4).
`
`Your letter requests an extension of the vote on institution “due in part to the
`belated submission from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘CBP’) that was received
`yesterday, November 1, 2023. Complainants intend to address CBP’s submission and
`file a response no later than November 6, 2023.” In view of this request, the Commission
`has determined to postpone the vote on institution until November 21, 2023.
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
`
`
`
`Lisa R. Barton
`Secretary to the Commission
