determined that a violation has occurred
as to Mr. Li. Bellsing had previously
been found in default, and the
Commission finds a violation has
occurred as to Bellsing. Specifically, the
Commission finds that (1) Mr. Li has
met the importation requirement on
modified grounds, and affirms the ID’s
remaining findings on importation; (2)
Mr. Li has used and/or disclosed each
of RTS Nos. 1–10; (3) RTS No. 6 has
been misappropriated; and (4) affirms
the IDs findings on domestic industry.
All findings in the ID that are not
inconsistent with the Commission’s
determination are affirmed.
Accordingly, the Commission finds
that there is a violation of section 337.
The Commission has determined that
the appropriate remedy is a GEO and
CDOs directed to each of the Bellsing
respondents and Mr. Li. These orders
bar Bellsing and Mr. Li’s unfair acts for
a duration of twenty-six (26) years. The
Commission has also determined that
the public interest factors enumerated in
subsections 337(d)(1) and (f)(1) (19
U.S.C. 1337(d)(1), (f)(1)) do not preclude
the issuance of the GEO and CDOs. The
GEO is directed to covered products that
are made by, for, or on behalf of Bellsing
and/or Mr. Li. The GEO reaches
downstream products incorporating the
covered products. The GEO includes a
provision requiring any importer
seeking to import the covered products
(or products containing them or the
components thereof) manufactured by
or for Bellsing and/or Mr. Li or their
affiliates or successors, to obtain a
ruling from the Commission prior to the
importation of the articles, finding that
they are not subject to the GEO. The
Commission has set the bond at one
hundred percent (100%) of the value of
the entered products imported by or on
behalf of Bellsing and/or Mr. Li and sets
a zero percent (0%) bond (i.e., no bond)
for downstream products or components
thereof. The investigation is terminated.
The Commission’s orders and opinion
were delivered to the President and to
the United States Trade Representative
on the day of their issuance.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on October 4,
2021.
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).
By order of the Commission.

Barge Line LLC, Civil Case No. 2:21–cv–
01818 (E.D. La.).
The United States is acting at the
request of the designated federal
trustees: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration and the
United States Department of the Interior
through the United States Fish and

is acting through its designated State
trustees: The Louisiana Oil Spill
Coordinator’s Office, Department of
Public Safety & Corrections, Louisiana
Department of Natural Resources,
Louisiana Department of Environmental
Quality, Louisiana Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries, and the Coastal
Protection and Restoration Authority.
The Complaint in this natural
resource damages case was filed against
Defendant American Commercial Barge
Line LLC (‘‘ACBL’’) concurrently with
the lodging of the proposed Consent
Decree. This is a civil action for
recovery of damages for injury to,
destruction of, loss of, or loss of use of
natural resources, under Section 1002 of
the Oil Pollution Act (‘‘OPA’’), 33 U.S.C.
2702, and Section 2480 of the Louisiana

United States and the State of Louisiana
seek damages in order to compensate for

DM–932 into the Mississippi River on or
about July 23, 2008. The United States
and the State also seek to recover
unreimbursed costs of assessing such
injuries and planning for restoration.
Under the proposed Consent Decree,
ACBL will pay $2,071,212 to the
trustees to restore, replace, or acquire
the equivalent of the natural resources
allegedly injured, destroyed, or lost as a
result of the oil spill. ACBL also will
effect the transfer of title and
preservation of approximately 649.1
acres of forested woodland habitat in
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana near the
English Turn of the Mississippi River.
ACBL has already paid $1,320,961.72 to
the trustees for past assessment and
restoration planning costs.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States and State of
Louisiana v. American Commercial
Barge Line LLC, DJ# 90–5–1–1–10875/1,
Civil Case No. 2:21–cv–01818 (E.D. La.).
