Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on this matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission’s TDD terminal on (202) 205–1810. The Commission instituted this investigation on June 11, 2018, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Bear Archery, Inc. (‘‘Bear Archery’’) of Evansville, Indiana. 83 FR 27021–22 (June 11, 2018). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain full-capture arrow rests and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,978,775 (‘‘the ’775 patent’’).

All respondents in the investigation have been found in default. See Order No. 9 (Oct. 29, 2018), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Nov. 26, 2018). On October 26, 2018, Bear Archery moved for summary determination of violation of section 337 by the defaulting respondents and requested a general exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’). On November 21, OUII filed a response supporting the motion. The ALJ issued the subject ID on March 19, 2019, granting the motion for summary determination and finding a violation of section 337 for the ’775 patent. Specifically, the ALJ found that Bear Archery established infringement of claims 1–2 and 32 of the ’775 patent with respect to each defaulting respondent’s accused product by substantial, reliable, and probative evidence. The ALJ recommended that the Commission issue a GEO if it finds a violation of section 337. No party petitioned for review of the subject ID. Having examined the record of this investigation, the Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. As noted above, all eight respondents were found in default. Section 337(g) and Commission Rule 210.16(c) authorize the Commission to issue relief against respondents found in default unless, after considering the public interest, it finds that such relief should not issue. Before the ALJ, Bear Archery sought a GEO under section 337(g)(2). In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the Commission may issue an order that could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States. 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 E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1 khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES 20164 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 8, 2019 / Notices consumption, the party should so indicate and provide information establishing that activities involving other types of entry either are adversely affecting it or likely to do so. For background, see Certain Devices for Connecting Computers via Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC Pub. No. 2843, Comm’n Op. at 7–10 (December 1994). 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: 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. Complainant and OUII are also requested to submit proposed remedial orders for the Commission’s consideration. Complainant is also requested to state the date that the patent expires, the HTSUS numbers under which the accused products are imported, and to supply the names of known importers of the products at issue in this investigation. The written submissions and proposed remedial orders must be filed no later than close of business on [two weeks from the date of this notice], 2019.

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 19 CFR 210.6. Documents for which confidential treatment by the Commission is sought will be treated accordingly. A redacted nonconfidential version of the document must also be filed simultaneously with any confidential filing.

(``ID'') (Order No. 13) of the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ''), granting complainant's motion for summary determination of 
violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, by the defaulting 
respondents. The Commission is requesting written submissions on 
remedy, bonding, and the public interest.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on June 11, 2018, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Bear Archery, 
Inc. (``Bear Archery'') of Evansville, Indiana. 83 FR 27021-22 (June 
11, 2018). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon 
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain full-
capture arrow rests and components thereof by reason of infringement of 
certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,978,775 (``the '775 patent''). The 
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents 2BULBS 
Technology Co. Ltd. of Jiangsu, China; Ningbo Linkboy Outdoor Sports 
Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang, China; Shenzhen Keepmyway Tech. Co., Ltd., 
Wenqing Zhang, Tingting Ye, and Tao Li, all of Guangdong, China; 
Zhengzhou IRQ Outdoor Sports Co., Ltd. of Henan, China; and Sean Yuan 
of Shandong, China. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations 
(``OUII'') is also a party to the investigation. All respondents in the 
investigation have been found in default. See Order No. 9 (Oct. 29, 
2018), unreviewed by Comm'n Notice (Nov. 26, 2018).
    On October 26, 2018, Bear Archery moved for summary determination 
of violation of section 337 by the defaulting respondents and requested 
a general exclusion order (``GEO''). On November 21, OUII filed a 
response supporting the motion.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID on March 19, 2019, granting the 
motion for summary determination and finding a violation of section 337 
for the '775 patent. Specifically, the ALJ found that Bear Archery 
established infringement of claims 1-2 and 32 of the '775 patent with 
respect to each defaulting respondent's accused product by substantial, 
reliable, and probative evidence. The ALJ recommended that the 
Commission issue a GEO if it finds a violation of section 337. No party 
petitioned for review of the subject ID.
    Having examined the record of this investigation, the Commission 
has determined not to review the subject ID.
    As noted above, all eight respondents were found in default. 
Section 337(g) and Commission Rule 210.16(c) authorize the Commission 
to issue relief against respondents found in default unless, after 
considering the public interest, it finds that such relief should not 
issue. Before the ALJ, Bear Archery sought a GEO under section 
337(g)(2).
    In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the 
Commission may issue an order that could result in the exclusion of the 
subject articles from entry into the United States. 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

[[Page 20164]]

consumption, the party should so indicate and provide information 
establishing that activities involving other types of entry either are 
adversely affecting it or likely to do so. For background, see Certain 
Devices for Connecting Computers via Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337-TA-
360, USITC Pub. No. 2843, Comm'n Op. at 7-10 (December 1994).
    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: 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.
    Complainant and OUII are also requested to submit proposed remedial 
orders for the Commission's consideration. Complainant is also 
requested to state the date that the patent expires, the HTSUS numbers 
under which the accused products are imported, and to supply the names 
of known importers of the products at issue in this investigation. The 
written submissions and proposed remedial orders must be filed no later 
than close of business on [two weeks from the date of this notice], 
2019. Reply submissions must be filed no later than the close of 
business on [one week later], 2019. No further submissions on these 
issues will be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
    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 Secretary pursuant to Section 
210.4(f) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
210.4(f)). Submissions should refer to the investigation number (``Inv. 
No. 337-TA-1117'') in a prominent place on the cover page and/or the 
first page. (See Handbook on Filing Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf). Persons with questions 
regarding filing should contact the Secretary at (202) 205-2000.
    Any person desiring to submit a document 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 19 CFR 210.6. Documents for which 
confidential treatment by the Commission is sought will be treated 
accordingly. A redacted non-confidential version of the document must 
also be filed simultaneously with any confidential filing. All 
information, including confidential business information and documents 
for which confidential treatment is properly sought, submitted to the 
Commission for purposes of this Investigation may be disclosed to and 
used: (i) By the Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract 
personnel (a) for developing or maintaining the records of this or a 
related proceeding, or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, 
and evaluations relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of 
the Commission including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 
government employees and contract personnel,\1\ solely for 
cybersecurity purposes. All non-confidential written submissions will 
be available for public inspection at the Office of the Secretary and 
on EDIS.
