Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 4, 2008 / Notices
The
Commission has approved the initiation
of a voluntary pilot mediation program
for investigations under section 337 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’). The
purposes of the pilot mediation program
are to facilitate the settlement of
disputes and to evaluate the possible
implementation of a permanent
mediation program.
As discussed in a Users’ Manual for
the Commission Pilot Mediation
Program (Users’ Manual), available at
https://www.usitc.gov, the Commission
will facilitate the holding of a settlement
conference with a professional mediator
for investigations participating in the
pilot mediation program. The
administrative management of the pilot
mediation program is coordinated by
the Supervisory Attorney for Docket
Services. The pilot mediation program
is supervised by the Office of the
Chairman.
All section 337 investigations are
eligible for participation in the pilot
mediation program. A presiding
Administrative Law Judge may
nominate an investigation for inclusion
in the pilot mediation program by so
indicating to the Supervisory Attorney
for Docket Services. Private parties may
also request, individually or jointly, that
an investigation be included in the pilot
mediation program by filing a
Confidential Request to Enter
Mediation, a form which will be
available from the Office of Dockets and
at https://www.usitc.gov. Such a request
should be submitted to: James R.
Holbein, Supervisory Attorney, Docket
Services, U.S. International Trade
Commission, 500 E Street SW., Room
112, Washington, DC 20436.
While it is expected that all or nearly
all of the selections for inclusion in the
pilot mediation program will be made at
the initiative of the presiding
Administrative Law Judge or counsel for
the parties, the Supervisory Attorney for
Docket Services may select additional
investigations for inclusion in the pilot
mediation program at the direction of
the Office of the Chairman. Although
the Administrative Law Judge and the
Commission have the power under the
Administrative Procedure Act to require
attendance at a settlement conference,
including the use of alternative dispute
resolution, the Commission has
determined that parties’ participation in
the pilot mediation program will be on
a voluntary basis. At the same time, the
mediator will conduct the mediation
only if he or she believes that the case
would benefit from mediation and has
settlement potential. The Commission
dwashington3 on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
gives notice that parties should not seek
to delay or postpone proceedings before
the presiding administrative law judge
based on their participation in the pilot
mediation program.
As described in the Users’ Manual,
mediation is a confidential process. The
Commission investigative attorney will
not conduct, participate in, or have
knowledge of the proceedings, but may,
consistent with current practice, review
any settlement agreement that arises out
of a successful mediation in making a
recommendation to the Administrative
Law Judge regarding whether a
settlement is in the public interest.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in the
Administrative Procedure Act, as
amended, see 5 U.S.C. 556(c)(6)–(8),
572–74, 583, and in sections 335 and
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1335, 1337.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: October 29, 2008.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
