SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on June 23, 2020, based on a complaint
filed by Clearly Clean Products, LLC of
South Windsor, Connecticut and
Converter Manufacturing, LLC of
Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania
(‘‘Complainants’’). 85 FR 37689–90
(June 23, 2020). The complaint alleges a
violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337
(‘‘section 337’’), by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 9,908,281 and 10,562,680.
The notice of investigation named the
following respondents: Eco Food Pak
(USA), Inc. of Chino, California and
Ningbo Linhua Plastic Co., Ltd. of

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Fenghua, China (‘‘Ningbo’’). The
Commission’s Office of Unfair Import
Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) also was named
as a party.
The complaint and notice of
investigation were served on Ningbo on
July 7, 2020. On August 20, 2020,
Complainants filed a motion for an
order to show cause why Ningbo should
not be found in default for failing to
respond to the complaint and notice of
investigation. On September 8, 2020, the
ALJ ordered Ningbo to show cause why
it should not be found in default and
Ningbo did not file a response.
On October 6, 2020, the ALJ issued
the subject ID (Order No. 7) finding
Ningbo in default. The ID notes that
Ningbo is the last remaining respondent
and the ID terminates the investigation.
No party petitioned for review of the ID.
The Commission has determined not
to review the ID. Ningbo is in default.
Ningbo is the sole remaining
respondent in this investigation. Section
337(g)(1) and Commission Rule
210.16(c) authorize the Commission to
order relief against a respondent found
in default, unless, after considering the
public interest, it finds that such relief
should not issue.
In connection with the final
disposition of this investigation, the
statute authorizes issuance of, inter alia,
(1) an exclusion order that could result
in the exclusion of the subject articles
from entry into the United States; and/
or (2) a cease and desist order 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 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
(Dec. 1994).
The statute requires the Commission
to consider the effects of that remedy
upon the public interest. The public
interest 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
