Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 

CFR 207.2(f)). 

the accused products practice this 

limitation? 

8. Concerning claims 22 and 23 of the 

’369 patent, Intuitive states in its 

petition for review that its proposed 

obviousness combination ‘‘includes 

each limitation of the asserted claims 

under Ethicon’s theory of 

infringement.’’ Identify what aspect of 

Intuitive’s obviousness theory is 

dependent on Ethicon’s theory of 

infringement and explain how it is 

dependent. 

9. If the Commission finds that 

Intuitive does not infringe claims 22 and 

23 of the ’369 patent, explain whether 

Intuitive’s obviousness theories 

necessarily fail by virtue of their 

dependence on Ethicon’s infringement 

theory. 

The parties are not to brief other 

issues on review, which are adequately 

presented in the parties’ existing filings. 

In connection with the final 

disposition of this investigation, the 

statute authorizes issuance of, inter alia, 

(1) an exclusion order that could result 

in the exclusion of the subject articles 

from entry into the United States; and/ 

or (2) cease and desist orders that could 

result in the respondents being required 

to cease and desist from engaging in 

unfair acts in the importation and sale 

of such articles. Accordingly, the 

Commission is interested in receiving 

written submissions that address the 

form of remedy, if any, that should be 

ordered. If a party seeks exclusion of an 

article from entry into the United States 

for purposes other than entry for 

consumption, the party should so 

indicate and provide information 

establishing that activities involving 

other types of entry either are adversely 

affecting it or likely to do so. For 

background, see Certain Devices for 

Connecting Computers via Telephone 

Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC 

Pub. No. 2843, Comm’n Op. at 7–10 

(Dec. 1994). 

If the Commission contemplates some 

form of remedy, it must consider the 

effects of that remedy upon the public 

interest. The factors the Commission 

will consider include the effect that an 

exclusion order and/or cease and desist 

orders would have on (1) the public 

health and welfare, (2) competitive 

conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. 

production of articles that are like or 

directly competitive with those that are 

subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. 

consumers. The Commission is 

therefore interested in receiving written 

submissions that address the 

aforementioned public interest factors 

in the context of this investigation. 

If the Commission orders some form 

of remedy, the U.S. Trade 

Representative, as delegated by the 

President, has 60 days to approve, 

disapprove or take no action on the 

Commission’s determination. See 

Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 

2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). 

During this period, the subject articles 

would be entitled to enter the United 

States under bond, in an amount 

determined by the Commission and 

prescribed by the Secretary of the 

Treasury. The Commission is therefore 

interested in receiving submissions 

concerning the amount of the bond that 

should be imposed if a remedy is 

ordered. 

Written Submissions: The parties to 

the investigation are requested to file 

written submissions on the issues 

identified in this notice. Parties to the 

investigation, interested government 

agencies, and any other interested 

parties are encouraged to file written 

submissions on the issues of remedy, 

the public interest, and bonding. Such 

submissions should address the 

recommended determination by the ALJ 

on remedy and bonding. 

In its initial submission, Complainant 

is also requested to identify the remedy 

sought and to submit proposed remedial 

orders for the Commission’s 

consideration. Complainant is further 

requested to state the dates that the 

Asserted Patents expire, to provide the 

HTSUS subheadings under which the 

accused products are imported, and to 

supply the identification information for 

all known importers of the products at 

issue in this investigation. The initial 

written submissions and proposed 

remedial orders must be filed no later 

than close of business on August 23, 

2021. Reply submissions must be filed 

no later than the close of business on 

August 30, 2021. Opening submissions 

are limited to 100 pages. Reply 

submissions are limited to 75 pages. No 

further submissions on these issues will 

be permitted unless otherwise ordered 

by the Commission. 

Persons filing written submissions 

must file the original document 

electronically on or before the deadlines 

stated above. The Commission’s paper 

filing requirements in 19 CFR 210.4(f) 

are currently waived. 85 FR 15798 

(March 19, 2020). Submissions should 

refer to the investigation number (Inv. 

No. 337–TA–1167) in a prominent place 

on the cover page and/or the first page. 

(See Handbook for Electronic Filing 

Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/ 

documents/handbook_on_filing_

procedures.pdf). Persons with questions 

regarding filing should contact the 

Secretary, (202) 205–2000. 

Any person desiring to submit a 

document to the Commission in 

confidence must request confidential 

treatment by marking each document 

with a header indicating that the 

document contains confidential 

information. This marking will be 

deemed to satisfy the request procedure 

set forth in Rules 201.6(b) and 

210.5(e)(2) (19 CFR 201.6(b) & 

210.5(e)(2)). Documents for which 

confidential treatment by the 

Commission is properly sought will be 

treated accordingly. A redacted nonconfidential version of the document 

must also be filed simultaneously with 

any confidential filing. All information, 

including confidential business 

information and documents for which 

confidential treatment is properly 

sought, submitted to the Commission for 

purposes of this investigation may be 

disclosed to and used: (i) By the 

Commission, its employees and Offices, 

and contract personnel (a) for 

developing or maintaining the records 

of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in 

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 5 

U.S.C. appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 

government employees and contract 

personnel, solely for cybersecurity 

purposes. All contract personnel will 

sign appropriate nondisclosure 

agreements. All nonconfidential written 

submissions will be available for public 

inspection on EDIS. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on August 16, 

2021. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

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

210 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210).

United States International Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the 

countervailing duty order on certain 

magnesia carbon bricks from China and 

the antidumping duty orders on certain 

magnesia carbon bricks from China and 

Mexico would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. 

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

reviews on January 4, 2021 (86 FR 126) 

and determined on April 9, 2021 that it 

would conduct expedited reviews (86 

FR 36770, July 13, 2021). 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these reviews on August 17, 2021. 

The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 5223 

(August 2021), entitled Certain 

Magnesia Carbon Bricks from China and 

Mexico: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–468

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1567–1569 

(Preliminary)] 

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber From 

France, Korea, and Mexico 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that there is a reasonable indication that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber from 

France, Korea, and Mexico, provided for 

in subheading 4002.51.00 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that are alleged to be sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value (‘‘LTFV’’).2

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigations 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the U.S. Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations under § 733(b) of the Act, 

or, if the preliminary determinations are 

negative, upon notice of affirmative 

final determinations in those 

investigations under § 735(a) of the Act. 

Parties that filed entries of appearance 

in the preliminary phase of the 

investigations need not enter a separate 

appearance for the final phase of the 

investigations. Industrial users, and, if 

the merchandise under investigation is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations have the right 

to appear as parties in Commission 

antidumping investigations. The 

Secretary will prepare a public service 

list containing the names and addresses 

of all persons, or their representatives, 

who are parties to the investigations. 

Background 

On June 30, 2021, Zeon Chemicals 

L.P. and Zeon GP, LLC (collectively 

‘‘Zeon’’), Louisville, Kentucky, filed 

petitions with the Commission and 

Commerce, alleging that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

and threatened by further material 

injury by reason of LTFV imports of 

acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber from 

France, Korea, and Mexico. 

Accordingly, effective June 30, 2021, the 

Commission instituted antidumping 

duty investigations Nos. 731–TA–1567– 

1569 (Preliminary). 

Notice of the institution of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public conference to be held in 

connection therewith was given by 

posting copies of the notice in the Office 

of the Secretary, U.S. International 

Trade Commission, Washington, DC, 

and by publishing the notice in the 

Federal Register of July 7, 2021 (86 FR 

35825). In light of the restrictions on 

access to the Commission building due 

to the COVID–19 pandemic, the 

Commission conducted its conference 

through written testimony and video 

conference. All persons who requested 

the opportunity were permitted to 

participate. 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to § 733(a) of 

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these investigations on August 16, 

2021. The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 5227 

(August 2021), entitled AcrylonitrileButadiene Rubber (NBR) from France, 

Korea, and Mexico: Investigation Nos. 

731–TA–1567–1569 (Preliminary).
