In light of the Commission’s decision, the Commission has determined that Peloton’s Petition; the iFit Respondents’ Notice of Joinder; and Complainants’ motion for leave to respond to Respondents’ Notice of Joinder are moot.3 The Commission’s Orders are issued concurrently herewith. The Commission vote for this determination took place on May 5, 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). lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 By order of the Commission. previously expressed views, she would also extend the exemption for replacement of the whole article in this case to include those that are not currently under warranty. See Comm’n Op. at 91 n.53 (Mar. 23, 2023) (Public Version). 2 Commissioner Kearns does not join in the decision to reconsider and modify the remedial orders. At the time of the Commission’s final determination in this investigation, he found that the appropriate way to mitigate harm to U.S. consumers was through an exemption for repair/ replacement of products purchased by consumers prior to the date of the Commission’s determination of violation and issuance of the orders. Having made that determination, based on the record and parties’ arguments, he sees no reason to reconsider it. He notes that, in some prior investigations, the Commission has similarly granted a repair exemption that covered only products purchased by the date of the order. See, e.g., Certain Variable Speed Wind Turbine Generators and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337–TA–1218, Limited Exclusion Order at 2 (Jan. 18, 2022); Certain Magnetic Data Storage Tapes and Cartridges Containing the Same, Inv. No. 337–TA–1012, Limited Exclusion Order at 2 (Mar. 8, 2018). Finally, he notes that he does not view the Petition as meeting the requirements set forth in Commission Rule 210.47 (19 CFR 210.47). 3 Commissioner Karpel would deny Peloton’s Petition for failure to meet the standard set forth in Rule 210.47 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. 19 CFR 210.47 (requiring petitions for reconsideration to be ‘‘confined to new questions raised by the determination or action ordered to be taken thereunder and upon which the petitioner had no opportunity to submit arguments’’). Commissioner Karpel joins the Commission’s decision to sua sponte reconsider the original remedial orders issued in this investigation and to issue orders modifying the remedial orders previously issued in this investigation to reduce their impact on those U.S. consumers. However, consistent with her views stated in the Commission Opinion, Commissioner Karpel would modify the remedial orders by extending the service and repair exemption to permit Respondents to import and use component parts for service and repair of damaged fitness devices that are or have been purchased by U.S. consumers during the Presidential review period, but would not permit Respondents to supply as a replacement the identical fitness device purchased by the consumer during this period for the reasons she stated in the Commission Opinion.
