ACTION: Notice of determination. SUMMARY: Section 423(c) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2703 note), requires the United States International Trade Commission to determine annually the amount (expressed in gallons) that is equal to 7 percent of the U.S. domestic market for fuel ethyl alcohol during the 12-month period ending on the preceding September 30. This determination is to be used to establish the ‘‘base quantity’’ of imports of fuel ethyl alcohol with a zero percent local feedstock requirement that can be imported from U.S. insular possessions or CBERA-beneficiary countries. The base quantity to be used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the administration of the law is the greater of 60 million gallons or 7 percent of U.S. consumption, as determined by the Commission. For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2009, the Commission has determined the level of U.S. consumption of fuel ethyl alcohol to be 10.57 billion gallons; 7 percent of this amount is 739.8 million gallons (these figures have been rounded). Therefore, the base quantity for 2010 should be 739.8 million gallons.

On October 16, 2009, the ALJ issued his final ID finding a violation of section 337 by respondents. He also issued his recommendation on remedy and bonding during the period of Presidential review. On October 30, 2009, SCT and Barber (‘‘SCT-Barber’’) filed a joint petition for review of the final ID. Tianrui filed a petition for review and complainant Amsted filed a contingent petition for review on November 2, 2009. Amsted filed responses to SCT-Barber’s and Tianrui’s petitions on November 9 and 10, respectively, and SCT-Barber and Tianrui filed their responses on November 10. The Commission investigative attorneys filed responses to the three petitions on November 10. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the Commission may issue an order that results in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States. Accordingly, the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. If a party seeks exclusion of an article from entry into the United States for purposes other than entry for consumption, the party should so indicate and provide information establishing that activities involving other types of entry either are adversely affecting it or likely to do so. For background, see In the Matter of Certain Devices for Connecting Computers via Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC Pub. No. 2843 (December 1994) (Commission Opinion). When the Commission contemplates some form of remedy, it must consider the effects of that remedy upon the public interest. The factors the Commission will consider include the effect that an exclusion order and/or cease and desist orders would have on (1) the public health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. consumers. The Commission is therefore interested in VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:41 Dec 22, 2009 Jkt 220001 receiving written submissions that address the aforementioned public interest factors in the context of this investigation.

See section 337(j), 19 U.S.C. 1337(j) and the Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). During this period, the subject articles are entitled to enter the United States under bond, in an amount determined by the Commission.

Limited of China (collectively ``Tianrui''); Standard Car Truck Company 
(``SCT''), Inc. of Park Ridge, Illinois; and Barber Tianrui Railway 
Supply, LLC (``Barber'') of Park Ridge, Illinois.
    On October 16, 2009, the ALJ issued his final ID finding a 
violation of section 337 by respondents. He also issued his

November 2, 2009. Amsted filed responses to SCT-Barber's and Tianrui's

    In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the 
Commission may issue an order that results in the exclusion of the 
subject articles from entry into the United States. Accordingly, the 
Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address 
the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. If a party seeks 
exclusion of an article from entry into the United States for purposes 
other than entry for consumption, the party should so indicate and

(December 1994) (Commission Opinion).
    When the Commission contemplates some form of remedy, it must 
consider the effects of that remedy upon the public interest. The 
factors the Commission will consider include the effect that an 
exclusion order and/or cease and desist orders would have on (1) the 
public health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. 
economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly 
competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. 
consumers. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving written 
submissions that address the aforementioned public interest factors in 
the context of this investigation.
    When the Commission orders some form of remedy, the U.S. Trade 
Representative, as delegated by the President, has 60 days to approve 
or disapprove the Commission's action. See section 337(j), 19 U.S.C. 
1337(j) and the Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 
(July 26, 2005). During this period, the subject articles are entitled 
to enter the United States under bond, in an amount determined by the 
Commission. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving 
submissions concerning the amount of the bond that should be imposed if 
a remedy is ordered.
    Written Submissions: Parties to the investigation, interested 
government agencies, and any other interested parties are encouraged to 
file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, 
and bonding, and such submissions should address the recommended 
determination by the ALJ on remedy and bonding. The complainant and the
