COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337–TA–380]

Certain Agricultural Tractors Under 50

Power Take-Off Horsepower; Notice of

Denial of Petition for Reconsideration

and Motion for Relief Pending Review

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the U.S. International Trade

Commission has determined to deny

respondents’ Petition for

Reconsideration and respondents’

Motion for Relief Pending Review in the

above-captioned investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Shara L. Aranoff, Esq., Office of the

General Counsel, U.S. International

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

Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202–

205–3090.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

authority for the Commission’s

determination is contained in Section

705 of the Administrative Procedure Act

(5 U.S.C. 705), Section 337 of the Tariff

Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C.

1337), and in §§ 210.47 and 210.48 of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (19 C.F.R. 210.47 and

210.48).

This trademark-based section 337

investigation was instituted by the

Commission on February 14, 1996,

based on a complaint filed by Kubota

Tractor Corporation (‘‘KTC’’), Kubota

Manufacturing of America (‘‘KMA’’),

and Kubota Corporation (‘‘KBT’’)

(collectively ‘‘complainants’’). On

January 9, 1997, the Commission

determined not to review that portion of

the presiding administrative law judge’s

(ALJ) final initial determination (ID)

finding a violation of section 337 based

on infringement of complainants’

federally-registered U.S. trademark

‘‘KUBOTA’’ (Reg. No. 922,330).

On February 25, 1997, the

Commission issued a general exclusion

order prohibiting the unlicensed entry

for consumption of agricultural tractors

under 50 power take-off horsepower

manufactured by Kubota Corporation of

Japan that infringe the federallyregistered U.S. trademark ‘‘KUBOTA’’

and eleven cease and desist orders

directed to respondents Bay Implement

Company, Casteel World Group, Inc.

(and related entities), Gamut Trading

Co. (and related entities), Lost Creek

Tractor Sales, MGA, Inc. Auctioneers,

The Tractor Shop, Tractor Company,

and Wallace International Trading Co.

prohibiting the importation, sale for

importation, or sale in the United States

after importation of agricultural tractors

under 50 power take-off horsepower

manufactured by Kubota Corporation of

Japan that infringe the federallyregistered U.S. trademark ‘‘KUBOTA’’.

The Commission also determined that

the public interest factors enumerated in

subsections 337(d) and (f) did not

preclude the issuance of the general

exclusion order and cease and desist

orders, and that the bond during the

Presidential review period should be in

the amount of 90 percent of the entered

value of the articles in question.

On March 13, 1997, respondents

Gamut Trading Co., Gamut Imports,

Wallace International Trading Co.,

Wallace Import Marketing Co., Inc., Bay

Implement Co., Casteel World Group,

Inc., The Tractor Shop, Suma Sangyo,

Eisho World Ltd., Sanko Industries Co.,

Ltd, and Fujisawa Trading Co. filed a

Petition for Reconsideration pursuant to

Commission rules 210.47 and 210.48,

requesting that the Commission

reconsider its conclusion that requiring

warning labels on the infringing tractors

would not be an effective remedy. On

the same date, respondents also filed a

Motion for Relief Pending Review,

requesting that the Commission stay the

effective date of its general exclusion

order and cease and desist orders until

such time as the U.S. Court of Appeals

for the Federal Circuit can decide

respondents’ planned appeal. Responses

in opposition to both requests were

received from complainants and the

Commission investigative attorney (IA)

on March 24, 1997.

Having considered the written

submissions of the parties, as well as the

record in this investigation, the

Commission determined to deny both

respondents’ Petition for

Reconsideration and respondents’

Motion for Relief Pending Review.

Copies of the Commission’s opinion

and order 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–

Issued: April 4, 1997.

By order of the Commission.

Donna R. Koehnke,

Secretary.
