On March 22, 2010, the Commission 

issued notice of its final determination 

finding no violation, by reason of 

invalidity of the asserted claims of the 

‘335 patent, of section 337 by the 

remaining respondents. Complainants 

appealed the Commission’s final 

determination to the U.S. Court of

Circuit’’). 

While the appeal was pending, the 

‘335 patent expired. The Commission 

moved to dismiss the appeal as moot 

and complainants responded. On 

November 15, 2010, the Federal Circuit 

issued an order vacating the 

Commission’s final determination and

Background: Section 1205(a) of the 

Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness 

Act of 1988 (the 1988 Act) (19 U.S.C. 

3005(a)) provides that the Commission 

shall keep the HTS under continuous 

review and periodically recommend to 

the President such modifications in the 

HTS as the Commission considers 

necessary or appropriate, inter alia, to 

promote the uniform application of the 

Harmonized System Convention. 

Subsections (b)–(d) of section 1205 set 

out procedures and requirements that 

the Commission must follow in making 

its recommendations. 

On August 9, 2010, the Commission 

transmitted to the President a report 

containing its recommendations 

regarding modifications to the HTS for 

certain footwear that was the subject of 

its investigation No. 1205–8 (USITC 

Publication 4178, August 2010). A copy 

of that report is available on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.usitc.gov/tariff_affairs/ 

hts_documents/1205– 

8FINALREPORTCOMBINED.pdf. 

Pursuant to section 1206 of the 1988 

Act, the President has submitted a 

report containing those 

recommendations to the House 

Committee on Ways and Means and 

Senate Committee on Finance for a 60- 

day layover period. The Commission 

noted in that report that it would keep 

the investigation open to allow it to 

make further recommendations. 

On November 8, 2010, the 

Commission received a letter from the 

USTR requesting that the Commission 

make certain further recommendations 

concerning the footwear that was the 

subject of recommendations in the 

Commission’s August 2010 report. More 

specifically, the USTR requested that 

the Commission, consistent with the 

provisions of section 1205(d)— 

(1) Make further recommendations, 

based on new submissions to be filed by 

interested parties relating to entries 

liquidated prior to the Commission’s 

initiation of this investigation on April 

13, 2010, on the appropriateness of 

inserting new tariff lines under 

subheadings 6404.11 and 6404.19, in 

addition to those already recommended 

by the Commission in its August 2010 

report; and 

(2) Provide a further recommendation 

regarding whether the information 

previously provided to the Commission 

in investigation No. 1205–8 by the 

Footwear Distributors and Retailers of 

America (FDRA) and by Pro Line 

Manufacturing Company (Pro Line), 

covering entries liquidated prior to the 

initiation of the Commission’s 

investigation on April 13, 2010, 

provides adequate support for their 

requests to add tariff lines under 

subheadings 6402.91.90, 6402.99.40, 

and 6401.99.

With respect to the first request, the 

USTR noted that the Commission in its 

August 2010 report correctly included 

descriptions specifying that footwear 

falling under the certain new tariff lines 

under current HTS subheadings 6404.11 

and 6404.19 feature uppers of textile 

material other than vegetable fibers. The 

USTR further noted, however, that, 

because these descriptions appeared for 

the first time in the final report, 

interested parties may not have 

recognized the need to submit 

information on the tariff classification 

and rate of duty applied to imports in 

liquidated and undisputed entries of 

other footwear (e.g., having uppers of 

man-made fibers) falling into these new 

subheadings, so that the Commission 

could maintain tariff rate neutrality in 

making its recommendation. 

With regard to the second request, the 

USTR noted that, shortly before the 

Commission issued its August 2010 

report and recommendation, two 

interested parties, the FDRA and Pro 

Line, submitted copies of documents 

that, in their view, supported the need 

for the Commission to propose 

additional tariff lines under headings 

6401 and 6402. The USTR noted that 

the Commission report indicated that 

the FDRA requested the addition of 

tariff lines under subheadings 

6402.91.90 and 6402.99.40 for certain 

footwear, and that Pro Line requested an 

additional tariff line under subheading 

6401.99 for other footwear. The USTR 

noted that the Commission did not 

recommend including these additional 

tariff lines and indicated that additional 

time could have been useful to the 

Commission in evaluating the 

information provided by the FDRA and 

Pro Line in that context. 

For an up-to-date copy of the HTS, 

which incorporates the international 

Harmonized System in its structure, see 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/ 

index.htm. 

Written Submissions: Interested 

parties are invited to submit written 

copies of liquidated entries by 

December 22, 2010. The entry 

documentation solicited by the 

Commission in this notice should be for 

import entries liquidated before April 

13, 2010, and covering footwear (1) 

having an outer sole with textile 

materials having the greatest surface 

area in contact with the ground; (2) 

currently classified under heading 6405; 

and (3) subject to reclassification under 

subheading 6404.11 or 6404.19 as a 

result of the Commission’s 

recommendation set out in its August 

2010 report. Recommendations in the 

Commission’s addendum will be 

limited to the possible new tariff 

subheadings specified in the USTR’s 

request letter of November 8, 2010, and 

will not address any other facet of the 

Commission’s August 2010 

recommendation. 

The Commission will post its 

proposed recommendations on this 

matter on its Web site at http:// 

www.usitc.gov/tariff_affairs/ 

modifications_hts.htm by December 29, 

2010. Interested Federal agencies and 

the public may file views on these 

proposed modifications by January 12, 

2011. 

All written submissions should be 

addressed to the Secretary and received 

no later than December 22, 2010 (for 

copies of the liquidated entries 

described above), and no later than 

January 12, 2011 (with regard to 

Commission’s proposed 

recommendations). Submissions should 

be marked to refer to ‘‘Investigation No. 

1205–8 (Addendum)’’. All written 

submissions must conform with the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8 

requires that a signed original (or a copy 

so designated) and fourteen (14) copies 

of each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of a 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential information 

must be deleted (see the following 

paragraph for further information 

regarding confidential business 

information). The Commission’s rules 

authorize filing submissions with the 

Secretary by facsimile or electronic 

means only to the extent permitted by 

section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook 

for Electronic Filing Procedures, http:// 

www.usitc.gov/docket_services/ 

documents/ 

handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf ). 

Persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the 

Secretary (202–205–2000). 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform with the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information be clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by the 

public. Any confidential business 

information received in the course of 

the investigation may be included in the 

report that the Commission sends to the 

USTR and the President and may be 

made available to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection and to the U.S. 

Census Bureau. The Commission will 

not otherwise publish or release any 

confidential business information 

received, nor release it to other 

government agencies or other persons. 

Issued: November 30, 2010. 

By order of the Commission.
