SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 
provides that if the Commission finds a violation it shall exclude the 
articles concerned from the United States:

unless, after considering the effect of such exclusion upon the 
public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United 
States economy, the production of like or directly competitive 
articles in the United States, and United States consumers, it finds 
that such articles should not be excluded from entry.

orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1).
    The Commission is interested in further development of the record 
on the public interest in this investigation. Accordingly, members of 
the public are invited to file submissions of no more than five pages, 
inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in light of 
the administrative law judge's recommended determination on remedy and 
bonding issued in this investigation on December 16, 2015. Comments

and desist order in this investigation would 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.

its licensees, or third parties make in the United States which could 
replace the subject articles if they were to be excluded;
    (iv) indicate whether complainant, complainant's licensees, and/or 
third party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of 
articles potentially subject to the recommended exclusion order and/or 
a cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
    (v) explain how the limited exclusion order and cease and desist 
order would impact consumers in the United States.

business on January 21, 2016. Persons filing written submissions must 
file the original document electronically on or before the deadlines 
stated above and submit eight true paper copies to the Office of the
