Secretary will maintain a public service

list containing the names and addresses

of all persons, or their representatives,

who are parties to the investigations.

Limited disclosure of business

proprietary information (BPI) under an

administrative protective order (APO)

and BPI service list.—Pursuant to

section 207.7(a) of the Commission’s

rules, the Secretary will make BPI

gathered in the final phase of these

investigations available to authorized

applicants under the APO issued in the

investigations, provided that the

application was made no later than 21

days prior to the October 16, 1997,

hearing date. Authorized applicants

must represent interested parties, as

defined by 19 U.S.C. § 1677(9), who are

parties to the investigations. A party

granted access to BPI in the preliminary

phase of the investigations need not

reapply for such access. A separate

service list will be maintained by the

Secretary for those parties authorized to

receive BPI under the APO.

Written submissions.—On February

24, 1998, the Commission will make

available to parties any supplementary

information on which they have not had

an opportunity to comment. Parties may

submit final comments on this

information on or before March 3, 1998.

Final comments must not contain new

factual information and must otherwise

comply with section 207.30 of the

Commission’s rules, except that the

Commission has determined to waive

the page limit and permit final

comments not exceeding 25 pages. All

written submissions must conform with

the provisions of section 201.8 of the

Commission’s rules; any submissions

that contain BPI must also conform with

the requirements of sections 201.6,

207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s

rules.

In accordance with sections 201.16(c)

and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules,

each document filed by a party to the

investigations must be served on all

other parties to the investigations (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.

Authority: These investigations are being

conducted under authority of title VII of the

Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published

pursuant to section 207.21 of the

Commission’s rules.

Issued: October 15, 1997.

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 701–TA–368–371 (Final)]

In the Matter of Certain Steel Wire Rod

From Canada, Germany, Trinidad and

Tobago, and Venezuela; Notice of

Commission Determination to Conduct

a Portion of the Hearing in Camera

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade

Commission.

ACTION: Closure of a portion of a

Commission hearing to the public.

SUMMARY: Upon request of a respondent

in the above-captioned final

investigation, the Commission has

unanimously determined to conduct a

portion of its hearing scheduled for

October 16, 1997 in camera. See

Commission rules 207.23(d), 201.13(m)

and 201.35(b)(3) (19 CFR 207.23(d),

201.13(m) and 201.35(b)(3)). The

remainder of the hearing will be open to

the public. The Commission

unanimously has determined that the

seven-day advance notice of the change

to a meeting was not possible. See

Commission rule 201.35(a), (c)(1) (19

CFR § 201.35(a), (c)(1)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas H. Fine, Esq., Office of the

General Counsel, U.S. International

Trade Commission, 500 E Street, S.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202–

205–3092. Hearing-impaired individuals

are advised that information on this

matter may be obtained by contacting

the Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–

205–1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission believes that the

respondents have justified the need for

a closed session. A full discussion of

information relating to the domestic

industry’s production levels and

profitability, the occurrence of

underselling and the effect and degree

of domestic production outages can only

occur if a portion of the hearing is held

in camera. Because much of this

information is not publicly available,

any discussion of issues relating to this

information will necessitate disclosure

of business proprietary information

(BPI). Thus, such discussions can only

occur if a portion of the hearing is held

in camera. In making this decision, the

Commission nevertheless reaffirms its

belief that whenever possible its

business should be conducted in public.

The hearing will include the usual

public presentations by petitioner and

by respondents, with questions from the

Commission. In addition, the hearing

will include an in camera session for a

presentation that discusses only the

financial data submitted and

information on bids for individual

projects and for questions from the

Commission relating to the BPI,

followed by an in camera rebuttal

presentation by petitioners. For any in

camera session the room will be cleared

of all persons except those who have

been granted access to BPI under a

Commission administrative protective

order (APO) and are included on the

Commission’s APO service list in this

investigation. See 19 CFR 201.35(b)(1),

(2). The time for the parties’

presentations and rebuttals in the in

camera session will be taken from their

respective overall allotments for the

hearing. All persons planning to attend

the in camera portions of the hearing

should be prepared to present proper

identification.

Authority: The General Counsel has

certified, pursuant to Commission Rule

201.39 (19 CFR 201.39) that, in her opinion,

a portion of the Commission’s hearing in

Certain Steel Wire Rod from Canada,

Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, and

Venezuela, Inv. Nos. 701–TA–368–371

(Final) may be closed to the public to prevent

the disclosure of BPI.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: October 15, 1997.

Secretary.

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337–TA–391]

In the Matter of Certain Toothbrushes

and the Packaging Thereof; Notice of

Issuance of Limited Exclusion Order

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the U.S. International Trade

Commission has issued a limited

exclusion order in the above-captioned

investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim

Yaworski, Esq., Office of the General

Counsel, U.S. International Trade

Commission, telephone 202–205–3096.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

authority for the Commission’s
54856 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 22, 1997 / Notices

determination is contained in section

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in

section 210.50 of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR

210.50).

The Commission instituted this

investigation on November 22, 1996,

based on a complaint filed by The

Procter & Gamble Company (P&G)

concerning allegations of unfair acts in

violation of section 337 in the

importation and sale of certain

toothbrushes covered by U.S. Letters

Patent Des. 328,392. The complaint, as

amended, also alleged copyright

infringement by certain respondents,

but those allegations were subsequently

withdrawn from the investigation.

The Commission found Shummi

Enterprise Co., Ltd (Shummi) and

Shumei Industrial Co., Ltd. (Shumei) in

violation of section 337 and found

Giftline International Corporation

(Giftline) in default for failure to

respond to the complaint and notice of

investigation.

On July 2, 1997, the presiding

administrative law judge (ALJ) issued a

recommended determination (RD) on

the issues of remedy and bonding for

respondents Shummi and Shumei. The

ALJ recommended a limited exclusion

order and a bond in the amount of 100

percent of entered value during the 60-

day Presidential review period.

On August 20, 1997, the Commission

published a notice requesting written

submissions on the issues of remedy,

the public interest, and bonding. The

Commission investigative attorney and

complainant P&G filed submissions on

these issues, essentially concurring with

the ALJ’s recommendations as to

Shumei and Shummi and arguing for

the same remedy and bond to apply to

Giftline. No other submissions were

filed.

Having reviewed the record in this

investigation, including the parties’

written submissions, the Commission

determined that the appropriate form of

relief is a limited exclusion order

prohibiting the unlicensed entry of

infringing toothbrushes that are

manufactured abroad by or on behalf of

Shummi, Shumei, or Giftline. The

Commission further determined that the

public interest factors enumerated in

subsection 337(d) do not preclude

issuance of the limited exclusion order,

and that the bond during the

Presidential review period shall be in

the amount of one hundred (100)

percent of the entered value of the

articles in question.

Copies of the Commission’s order, the

public version of the Commission’s

opinion in support thereof, and all other

nonconfidential documents filed in

connection with this investigation are or

will be available for inspection during

official business hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15

p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.

International Trade Commission, 500 E

Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20436,

telephone (202) 205–2000. Hearing

impaired persons are advised that

information on the matter can be

obtained by contacting the

Commission’s TDD terminal at 202–

205–1810.

Issued: October 15, 1997.

By order of the Commission.
