investigation suggests that the BPI was
not viewed by unauthorized persons.
Case 6: The Commission found that
two attorneys breached the APO when
they submitted a postconference brief
comparing the prices of various firms’
imports. The attorneys deliberately
declined to bracket a passage providing
a description of the degree by which
prices reported by one importer were
lower than those reported by other
importers, on the grounds that
Commission Rule 201.6(a)(1) allows
parties to make ‘‘nonnumerical
characterization’’ of trends in public
submissions. In the Federal Register
notice of final rulemaking for section
201.6(a)(1), the preamble stated that any
discussion of the degree or absolute
level of a decline or increase was not a
‘‘nonnumerical characterization.’’ The
Commission concluded that, although
the phrases were not literally numerical,
they conveyed as much specificity as a
strictly numerical characterization.
Accordingly, the Commission found
that the information in question was BPI
and that it should have been bracketed.
The attorneys argued that the BPI was
information they acquired from their
client and not from the questionnaire
responses that had been cited in the
brief. To support their argument, they
cited exhibits that were included with
the brief. The Commission found that
these exhibits did not support their
allegations that the information came
from their client. The Commission
issued private letters of reprimand to
both attorneys.
There were two mitigating factors.
Neither attorney had been found to have
breached an APO in the two years the
Commission typically considers for
determining sanctions. In addition, the
record showed that the attorneys had
responded promptly to the request by
the Commission’s staff to provide a
replacement page for the page
containing the unbracketed BPI,
although the Commission’s Dockets staff
never actually received it.
There were also several aggravating
factors. First, the Commission found
that the breach was not inadvertent. The
attorneys were aware of Commission
rule 201.6(a)(1), but they made either no
effort or an inadequate effort to ascertain
the Commission’s published
interpretation of the regulation,
notwithstanding the fact that it was
readily available, easily located, and
expressly addressed the question of
whether the information should be
treated as BPI. Instead they adopted
their own interpretation of the
regulation without consulting the
Commission’s staff. Thus, they made a
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
conscious decision not to bracket
material that was BPI.
Second, the Commission presumed
that an individual not subject to the
APO read the unbracketed BPI in the
public version of the brief. The brief was
sent to counsel for the opposing side,
who was not subject to the APO. The
replacement page was not sent to him
until the next day. The attorneys did not
address whether the counsel had
viewed the BPI even after being
specifically asked by the Commission’s
Secretary. In the absence of any contrary
representation by the attorneys, the
Commission presumed that opposing
counsel read the brief, including the
BPI, at the time he received it.
Third, the breach was discovered by
the Commission’s staff. In addition,
although the attorneys initially provided
the replacement page promptly, they
did not respond to the second request
for a replacement page, which was
necessitated by the fact that Dockets
staff did not receive the original
replacement page. The attorneys did
respond to the third request.
APO Breach Investigation in Which No
Breach Was Found
Case 1: Counsel for respondents in a
title VII investigation transmitted to
their clients copies of a draft public
version of a prehearing brief. The draft
brief contained information that had
been derived from information in the
Commission’s prehearing report. In the
report, the information was treated as
BPI and was bracketed. The
Commission determined that counsel
did not breach the APO because at the
time the brief was prepared, the
substance of the material in the draft
prehearing brief was available in the
public domain.
Rules Violations
Case 1: The Commission found that
an attorney violated 19 CFR 207.3(b) by
serving a postconference brief in a title
VII investigation by first-class mail. The
Commission issued a warning letter.
There were two mitigating factors:
(1) Rhis was the attorney’s first rules
violation within the prior two years
generally examined by the Commission
for purposes of determining sanctions,
and (2) the violation was unintentional.
Investigation in Which No Rules
Violation Was Found
Case 1: An associate and lead attorney
filed an in camera hearing request in a
title VII five year review which did not
meet the content requirements of 19
CFR 207.24(d), was not timely filed, and
did not provide good cause for the
untimeliness as required under 19 CFR
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
66131
201.14 and 207.24(d). It was also
improperly served contrary to 19 CFR
207.3(b). The attorneys filed a second
letter seeking leave to file an untimely
request and providing the subjects to be
covered during the in camera session.
This letter did not provide the time
necessary to cover the subjects and was
also improperly filed. Consequently, the
Commission rejected the request for the
in camera session as untimely. After
consideration of the attorneys’
responses in this rules violation
investigation, the Commission
determined that they failed to exercise
due diligence in filing the two
submissions, but decided not to
sanction them. This decision was
reached after giving consideration to the
facts that their actions were not
intentional and that no party was
prejudiced by their actions. In addition,
this was the associate’s first appearance
before the Commission.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: October 21, 2010.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
