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.

provision applies to cease and desist

further development of the record on 

the public interest in these

concerning the public interest in light of

Recommended Determination on 

Remedy and Bonding issued in this 

investigation on August 17, 2018. 

Comments should address whether 

issuance of an limited exclusion order 

and cease and desist orders in this 

investigation 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.

potentially subject to the recommended 

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 third 

party suppliers have the capacity to 

replace the volume of articles 

potentially subject to the recommended 

exclusion order and/or a cease and 

desist order within a commercially 

reasonable time; and 

(v) explain how the limited exclusion 

order and cease and desist orders would 

impact consumers in the United States.
