Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 174 / Thursday, September 8, 2011 / Notices
Having examined the record in this
investigation, including the subject ID,
the Commission has determined not to
review the ID.
In connection with the final
disposition of this investigation, the
Commission may (1) Issue an order that
could result in the exclusion of the
subject articles from entry into the
United States, and/or (2) issue one or
more cease and desist orders that could
result in the respondent being required
to cease and desist from engaging in
unfair acts in the importation and sale
of such articles. 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 are 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 (Dec. 1994)
(Commission Opinion).
If 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.
If 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 Presidential Memorandum of July
21, 2005. 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005).
During this period, the subject articles
would be 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.
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. Such
VerDate Mar<15>2010

submissions should address the
recommended determination by the ALJ
on remedy and bonding. Complainant
and the Commission investigative
attorney are also requested to submit
proposed remedial orders for the
Commission’s consideration.
Complainant is further requested to
provide the respective expiration dates
of the patents-in-suit and state the
HTSUS numbers under which the
accused articles are imported. The
written submissions and proposed
remedial orders must be filed no later
than the close of business on September
14, 2011. Reply submissions must be
filed no later than the close of business
on September 21, 2011. No further
submissions on these issues will be
permitted unless otherwise ordered by
the Commission.
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. Any person desiring to
submit a document (or portion thereof)
to the Commission in confidence must
request confidential treatment unless
the information has already been
granted such treatment during the
proceedings. All such requests should
be directed to the Secretary of the
Commission and must include a full
statement of the reasons why the
Commission should grant such
treatment. See section 201.6 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 19 CFR 201.6. Documents for
which confidential treatment by the
Commission is sought will be treated
accordingly. All nonconfidential written
submissions will be available for public
inspection at the Office of the Secretary.
The authority for this action is
contained in section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C.
1337), and in sections 210.42–.46 and
210.50 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42–
.46, 210.50).
Issued: September 1, 2011.
By order of the Commission.
James R. Holbein,
Secretary to the Commission.
