SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides 

that, if the Commission finds a 

violation, it shall exclude the articles 

concerned from the United States 

unless, after considering the effect of 

such exclusion upon the public health 

and welfare, competitive conditions in 

the United States economy, the 

production of like or directly 

competitive articles in the United 

States, and United States consumers, it 

finds that such articles should not be 

excluded from entry. (19 U.S.C. 

1337(d)(1)). A similar provision applies 

to cease and desist orders. (19 U.S.C. 

1337(f)(1)). 

The Commission is soliciting 

submissions on public interest issues 

raised by the recommended relief

attachments, concerning the public 

interest in light of the ALJ’s 

Recommended Determination on 

Remedy and Bonding issued in this 

investigation on September 15, 2023. 

Comments should address whether 

issuance of the recommended remedial 

orders in this investigation, should the 

Commission find a violation, would 

affect the public health and welfare in 

the United States, competitive 

conditions in the United States 

economy, the production of like or 

directly competitive articles in the 

United States, or United States 

consumers. 

In particular, the Commission is 

interested in comments that: 

(i) explain how the articles potentially 

subject to the recommended remedial 

orders are used in the United States; 

(ii) identify any public health, safety, 

or welfare concerns in the United States 

relating to the recommended orders; 

(iii) identify like or directly 

competitive articles that complainant, 

its licensees, or third parties make in the 

United States which could replace the 

subject articles if they were to be 

excluded; 

(iv) indicate whether complainant, 

complainant’s licensees, and/or thirdparty suppliers have the capacity to 

replace the volume of articles 

potentially subject to the recommended 

orders within a commercially 

reasonable time; and 

(v) explain how the recommended 

orders would impact consumers in the 

United States.
