Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2017 / Notices
Pub. No. 2843 (December 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 and
prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury. 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: The parties to
the investigation are requested to file
written submissions on the issues
identified in this notice. 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
submissions should address the
recommended determination by the ALJ
on remedy and bonding. Complainants
are requested to submit proposed
remedial orders for the Commission’s
consideration. Complainants are also
requested to state the date that the
patent expires and the HTSUS numbers
under which the accused products are
imported. Complainants are further
requested to supply the names of known
importers of the Respondents’ products
at issue in this investigation. The
written submissions and proposed
remedial orders must be filed no later
than close of business on January 5,
2018. Reply submissions must be filed
no later than the close of business on
January 12, 2018. Opening submissions
are limited to 50 pages. Reply
submissions are limited to 25 pages.

ALJ’s recommended determinations on
remedy and bonding. No further

Commission should grant such
treatment. See 19 CFR 201.6. Documents
