Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 337(g)(1), it finds that such relief should not issue. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the parties’ submissions in response to the Remedy Notice, the Commission has determined pursuant to subsection 337(g)(1) that the appropriate remedy in this investigation is: (1) an LEO prohibiting the unlicensed entry of certain refrigerator water filtration devices and components thereof that are imported by or on behalf of the Defaulting Respondents and that infringe the Asserted Claims; and (2) CDOs against all of the Defaulting Respondents except Jiangsu. The Commission has also determined that the public interest factors enumerated in subsection 337(g)(1) do not preclude the issuance of the LEO and CDOs. The Commission has further determined that the bond during the period of Presidential review pursuant to section 337(j) (19 U.S.C. 1337(j)) shall be in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the entered value of the infringing articles.1 See Certain Centrifuge Utility Platform & Falling Film Evaporator Sys. & Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337– TA–1311, Comm’n Notice at 4–5 (Mar. 23, 2023). The investigation is terminated. The Commission’s vote for this determination took place on April 11, 2023. 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). While temporary remote operating procedures are in place in response to COVID–19, the Office of the Secretary is not able to serve parties that have not retained counsel or otherwise provided a point of contact for electronic service. Accordingly, pursuant to Commission Rules 201.16(a) and 210.7(a)(1) (19 CFR 201.16(a), 210.7(a)(1)), the Commission orders that the Complainant(s) complete service for any party/parties without a method of electronic service noted on the attached Certificate of Service and shall file proof of service on the Electronic Document Information System (EDIS). 1 Commissioner Schmidtlein finds that section 337 does not authorize respondents subject to remedial relief under subsection 337(g)(1) to import infringing products under bond during the Presidential review period for the reasons explained in Certain Centrifuge Utility Platform and Falling Film Evaporator Systems and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337–TA–1311, Comm’n Notice at 5, n.5 (March 23, 2023). She therefore would not permit the Defaulting Respondents to import infringing products under bond during the Presidential review period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    (1) The generic clearance generally covers the collections of six 
types of forms, as follows: U.S. producers' questionnaire; U.S. 
importers' questionnaire; U.S. purchasers' questionnaire; Foreign 
producers'/exporters' questionnaire; Administrative Protective Order 
(APO) application form; and Notice of Institution (NOI) for five-year 
reviews.
    (2) The types of items contained within actual information 
collections issued under this generic clearance are largely determined 
by statute; however, questions are modified to match the specific facts 
of each investigation or review. Case-specific factors such as the 
nature of the industry, the relevant economic and legal issues, the 
ability of respondents to supply the data, as well as the availability 
of data from secondary sources are all taken into consideration in each 
investigation and review.
    (3) Once the data are collected from the relevant entities in an 
information collection under this generic clearance, Commission staff 
consolidates the information collected into compilations, summaries, 
and statistical aggregations that are then used as the basis for the 
Commission's determinations or recommendations in the particular 
investigation or review. Affirmative Commission determinations in 
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations result in the 
imposition of duties on imports entering the United States, as 
determined by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which are in addition to 
any normal customs duties. If the Commission makes an affirmative 
determination in a five-year review, the existing antidumping or 
countervailing duty order remains in place. The President or the U.S. 
Trade Representative may use the data developed in global and bilateral 
safeguard, market disruption, interference with U.S. Department of 
Agriculture program, and cross-border long-haul trucking investigations 
to determine the type of relief, if any, to be provided to domestic 
industries.
    Parties' submissions of the Commission's APO application form for 
inclusion on the APO are the basis for determining whether those 
parties are granted access to business proprietary or confidential 
business information. The submissions made to the Commission in 
response to the notices of institution of five-year reviews are the 
basis for the Commission's determination whether to conduct a full or 
expedited review.
    (4) Likely respondents are businesses (including foreign 
businesses) or farms that produce, import, purchase, or sell products 
under investigation. The Commission estimates that information 
collections issued under the requested generic clearance will impose an 
average annual burden of 409,250 hours on 12,935 respondents over the 
next three-year generic clearance period.
    (5) No new record keeping burden is known to result from the 
proposed collection of information.
    (6) Note that, in addition to the generic clearance public comment 
process, for every individual antidumping and countervailing duty final 
investigation or full five-year review, Commission questionnaires are 
made available to the public on the Commission's Electronic Document 
Information System (EDIS) and parties specifically subject to the 
Commission investigation or review are requested to comment on the 
case-specific information collections prior to their issuance as part 
of the Commission's investigatory procedures.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: April 11, 2023.
