SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930
provides that if the Commission finds a violation it shall exclude the
articles concerned from the United States:
unless, after considering the effect of such exclusion upon the
public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United
States economy, the production of like or directly competitive
articles in the United States, and United States consumers, it finds
that such articles should not be excluded from entry.
19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1). A similar provision applies to cease and desist
orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1).
The Commission is interested in further development of the record
on the public interest in this investigation. Accordingly, members of
the public are invited to file submissions of no more than five pages,
inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in light of
the administrative law judge's recommended determination on remedy and
bonding issued in this investigation on July 13, 2015. Comments should
address whether issuance of a limited exclusion order and cease and
desist order in this investigation would affect the public health and
welfare in the United States, competitive conditions in the United
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:
(i) Explain how the articles potentially subject to the recommended
orders are used in the United States;
(ii) identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the
United States relating to the recommended 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 recommended exclusion order and/or
a cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
(v) explain how the limited exclusion order and cease and desist
order would impact consumers in the United States.
Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of business on
