SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission has received a complaint

complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the United States, the sale 
for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain gemcitabine and products containing same. The 
complaint names as respondents Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 
of Lianyungang, China; Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. of Gujarat, India; 
ChemWerth, Inc. of Woodbridge, CT; and Hospira, Inc. of Lake Forest, 
IL.
    The complainant, proposed respondents, other interested parties, 
and members of the public are invited to file comments, not to exceed 
five pages in length, on any public interest issues raised by the 
complaint. Comments should address whether issuance of an exclusion 
order and/or a cease and desist order in this investigation would 
negatively 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 orders are 
used in the United States;
    (ii) Identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the 
United States relating to the potential orders;
    (iii) Indicate the extent to which like or directly competitive 
articles are produced in the United States or are otherwise available 
in the United States, with respect to the articles potentially subject 
to the orders; and
    (iv) Indicate whether Complainant, Complainant's licensees, and/or 
third party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of 
articles potentially subject to an exclusion order and a cease and 
desist order within a commercially reasonable time.
    Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of 
business, five business 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 
determination in this investigation.
    Persons filing written submissions must file the original document 
and 12 true copies thereof on or before the deadlines stated above with 
the Office of the Secretary. Submissions should refer to the docket 
number (``Docket No. 2780'') in a prominent place on the cover page 
and/or the first page. The Commission's rules authorize filing 
submissions with the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means only to 
the extent permitted by section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook for 
Electronic Filing Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/fed_reg_notices/rules/documents/handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf ). Persons 
with questions regarding electronic filing should contact the Secretary 
(202-205-2000).
    Any person desiring to submit a document to the Commission in 
confidence must request confidential treatment. All such requests 
should be directed to the Secretary to the Commission and must include 
a full statement of the reasons why the Commission should grant such 
treatment. See 19 CFR 201.6. Documents for which confidential treatment 
by the Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly. All 
nonconfidential written submissions will be available for public 
inspection at the Office of the Secretary.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and of sections 201.10 
and 210.50(a)(4) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure
