64588 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 214 / Friday, November 5, 2004 / Notices 

When the Commission contemplates 

some form of remedy, it must consider 

the effects of that remedy upon the 

public interest. The factors the 

Commission will consider in this 

investigation include the effect that an 

exclusion order 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. 

If the Commission orders some form 

of remedy, the President has 60 days to 

approve or disapprove the 

Commission’s action. During this 

period, the subject articles would be 

entitled to enter the United States under 

a 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. 

Written Submissions: The parties to 

the investigation, interested government 

agencies, and any other interested 

parties are encouraged to file written 

submissions on remedy, the public 

interest, and bonding. Complainant and 

the Commission’s investigative 

attorneys are also requested to submit 

proposed orders for the Commission’s 

consideration. The written submissions 

and proposed orders must be filed no 

later than close of business on 

November 12, 2004. Reply submissions, 

if any, must be filed no later than the 

close of business on November 19, 2004. 

No further submissions on these issues 

will be permitted unless otherwise 

ordered by the Commission. 

Persons filing written submissions 

must file with the Office of the Secretary 

the original document and 14 true 

copies thereof on or before the deadlines 

stated above. Any person desiring to 

submit a document (or portion thereof) 

to the Commission in confidence must 

request confidential treatment unless 

the information has already been 

granted such treatment during the 

proceedings. All such requests should 

be directed to the Secretary of the 

Commission and must include a full 

statement of the reasons that the 

Commission should grant such 

treatment. See section 201.6 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, 19 CFR 201.6. Documents for 

which confidential treatment by the 

Commission is sought will be treated 

accordingly. All nonconfidential written 

submissions will be available for public 

inspection at the Office of the Secretary. 

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 

sections 210.16, 210.42, 210.43, 210.45 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure (19 CFR 210.16, 210.42, 

210.43, 210.45).

Issued: November 1, 2004.

By order of the Commission.
