a submission pursuant to section 210.8(b) of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure filed on behalf of LEGO A/S, LEGO System A/S,

Brands Inc. of Canada; and Best-Lock Construction Toys, Inc. of Miami,

alleged infringing articles during the 60-day Presidential review
period pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1337(j).
Proposed respondents, other interested parties, and members of the
public are invited to file comments, not to exceed five (5) pages in
length, inclusive of attachments, on any public interest issues raised

States economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles
in the United States, or United States consumers.
In particular, the Commission is interested in comments that:

remedial orders are used in the United States;
(ii) identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the
United States relating to the requested remedial orders;
(iii) identify like or directly competitive articles that
complainant, its licensees, or third parties make in the United States
which could replace the subject articles if they were to be excluded;
(iv) indicate whether complainant, complainant's licensees, and/or
third party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of
articles potentially subject to the requested exclusion order and/or a
cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
(v) explain how the requested remedial orders would impact United
States consumers.
Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of
business, eight calendar days after the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. There will be further opportunities for
comment on the public interest after the issuance of any final initial
