337–TA–1088’’) in a prominent place on

procedures.pdf). Persons with questions
regarding 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 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

purposes. All non-confidential written
submissions will be available for public
inspection at the Office of the Secretary
and on EDIS.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210). To the extent that Commission
Rule 210.76, 19 CFR 210.76,
contemplates, as is ordinarily the case,
the existence of a petition for a
modification proceeding, the
Commission has determined that
Wirtgen’s renewed motion for stay is
tantamount to such a petition.
Alternatively, the Commission has
determined that institution of a
modification proceeding is also
warranted based on the Commission’s
authority, sua sponte, to institute a
modification proceeding. Commission
Rule 210.76(a)(1), 19 CFR 210.76(a)(1)
(‘‘The Commission may also in its own
initiative consider such action’’ to
modify its remedial orders.). The
Commission also finds that good cause
exists, for the reasons set forth above—
including Wirtgen’s previous failures to
exhaust administrative processes—to
waive or suspend Rule 210.76’s
contemplation of a petition.
Commission Rule 201.4(b), 19 CFR
201.4.
