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 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
subject to investigation, and (4) U.S.
consumers. The Commission is
therefore interested in receiving written
submissions that address the
aforementioned public interest factors
in the context of this investigation. In
addition, the Commission requests
responses to the following question
regarding the public interest:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Please provide specific facts and data with
respect to Respondents’ assertion that ‘‘an
exclusion order would have significant
impacts on U.S. consumers and economy at
large’’ and that ‘‘[w]ithout a delay in the
effective date of an exclusion order, an
immediate and potentially multi-year
shortage across a wide variety of industries
could not be averted given alternative
suppliers’ existing production capacities and
a lack of readily available GaN
semiconductor devices.’’ Resp. PI Stmt. at 2.
Please include in your discussion, the shares
of the U.S. market for EPC and Respondents,
as well as other suppliers and whether these
suppliers have the capability to supply U.S.
demand in the event of an exclusion order
and/or cease and desist orders.
If the Commission orders some form
of remedy, the U.S. Trade
Representative, as delegated by the
President, has 60 days to approve,
disapprove, or take no action on the
Commission’s determination. See
Presidential Memorandum of July 21,
2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005).
During this period, the subject articles
would be entitled to enter the United
States under bond, in an amount
determined by the Commission and
prescribed by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The Commission is therefore
interested in receiving submissions
concerning the amount of the bond that
should be imposed if a remedy is
ordered.

the investigation are requested to file

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On July 5, 2024, the
Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (89
FR 22445, April 1, 2024) of the subject
five-year reviews was adequate and that
the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate. The
Commission did not find any other
circumstances that would warrant
conducting full reviews.1 Accordingly,
the Commission determined that it
would conduct expedited reviews
pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
For further information concerning
the conduct of these reviews and rules
of general application, consult the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B
(19 CFR part 201), and part 207,
subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part
207).
Staff report.—A staff report
containing information concerning the
subject matter of the reviews has been
placed in the nonpublic record, and will
be made available to persons on the
Administrative Protective Order service
list for these reviews on September 11,
2024. A public version will be issued
thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of
the Commission’s rules.
Written submissions.—As provided in
§ 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules,
interested parties that are parties to the
reviews and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,2 and any party
other than an interested party to the
reviews may file written comments with
the Secretary on what determination the
Commission should reach in the
reviews. Comments are due on or before
September 19, 2024 and may not
contain new factual information. Any
person that is neither a party to the fiveyear reviews nor an interested party
may submit a brief written statement
(which shall not contain any new
factual information) pertinent to the
reviews by September 19, 2024.
1 A record of the Commissioners’ votes, the
Commission’s statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner’s statements will be
available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission’s website.
2 The Commission has found the responses
submitted on behalf of Wind Tower Trade Coalition
to be individually adequate. Comments from other
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR
207.62(d)(2)).

However, should the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) extend the
time limit for its completion of the final
results of its reviews, the deadline for
comments (which may not contain new
factual information) on Commerce’s
final results is three business days after
the issuance of Commerce’s results. If
comments contain business proprietary
information (BPI), they must conform
with the requirements of §§ 201.6,
207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s
rules. The Commission’s Handbook on
Filing Procedures, available on the
Commission’s website at https://
www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_
on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates
upon the Commission’s procedures with
respect to filings.
In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and
207.3 of the rules, each document filed
by a party to the reviews must be served
on all other parties to the reviews (as
identified by either the public or BPI
service list), and a certificate of service
must be timely filed. The Secretary will
not accept a document for filing without
a certificate of service.
Determination.—The Commission has
determined these reviews are
extraordinarily complicated and
therefore has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by
up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C.
1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: These reviews are being
conducted under authority of title VII of
the Act; this notice is published
pursuant to § 207.62 of the
Commission’s rules.
By order of the Commission.
