28036 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 10, 2022 / Notices 

5:15 p.m., Wednesday, August 24, 2022. 

All written submissions must conform 

to the provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8), as 

temporarily amended by 85 FR 15798 

(March 19, 2020). Under that rule 

waiver, the Office of the Secretary will 

accept only electronic filings at this 

time. Filings must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. Persons with questions 

regarding electronic filing should 

contact the Office of the Secretary, 

Docket Services Division (202–205– 

1802), or consult the Commission’s 

Handbook on Filing Procedures. 

Definitions of types of documents that 

may be filed; requirements: In addition 

to requests to appear at the hearing, this 

notice provides for the possible filing of 

four types of documents: prehearing 

briefs, oral hearing statements, posthearing briefs, and other written 

submissions. 

(1) Prehearing briefs refers to written 

materials relevant to the investigation 

and submitted in advance of the 

hearing, and includes written views on 

matters that are the subject of the 

investigation, supporting materials, and 

any other written materials that you 

consider will help the Commission in 

understanding your views. You should 

file a prehearing brief particularly if you 

plan to testify at the hearing on behalf 

of an industry group, company, or other 

organization, and wish to provide 

detailed views or information that will 

support or supplement your testimony. 

(2) Oral hearing statements 

(testimony) refers to the actual oral 

statement that you intend to present at 

the public hearing. Do not include any 

confidential business information in 

that statement. If you plan to testify, you 

must file a copy of your oral statement 

by the date specified in this notice. This 

statement will allow Commissioners to 

understand your position in advance of 

the hearing and will also assist the court 

reporter in preparing an accurate 

transcript of the hearing (e.g., names 

spelled correctly). 

(3) Post-hearing briefs refers to 

submissions filed after the hearing by 

persons who appeared at the hearing. 

Such briefs: (a) Should be limited to 

matters that arose during the hearing, (b) 

should respond to any Commissioner 

and staff questions addressed to you at 

the hearing, (c) should clarify, amplify, 

or correct any statements you made at 

the hearing, and (d) may, at your option, 

address or rebut statements made by 

other participants in the hearing. 

(4) Other written submissions refers to 

any other written submissions that 

interested persons wish to make, 

regardless of whether they appeared at 

the hearing, and may include new 

information or updates of information 

previously provided. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 201.8 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.8) the document must identify on 

its cover (1) the investigation number 

and title and the type of document filed 

(i.e., prehearing brief, oral statement of 

(name), posthearing brief, or written 

submission), (2) the name and signature 

of the person filing it, (3) the name of 

the organization that the submission is 

filed on behalf of, and (4) whether it 

contains confidential business 

information (CBI). If it contains CBI, it 

must comply with the marking and 

other requirements set out below in this 

notice relating to CBI. Submitters of 

written documents (other than oral 

hearing statements) are encouraged to 

include a short summary of their 

position or interest at the beginning of 

the document, and a table of contents 

when the document addresses multiple 

issues. 

Confidential business information: 

Any submissions that contain 

confidential business information must 

also conform to the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that the confidential 

business information is clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available for inspection by 

interested parties. 

As requested by the Committees, the 

Commission will not include any 

confidential business information in its 

report. However, all information, 

including confidential business 

information, submitted in 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 for 

cybersecurity purposes. The 

Commission will not otherwise disclose 

any confidential business information in 

a way that would reveal the operations 

of the firm supplying the information. 

Summaries of written submissions: 

Persons wishing to have a summary of 

their position included in the report 

should include a summary with their 

written submission on or before August 

24, 2022, and should mark the summary 

as having been provided for that 

purpose. The summary should be 

clearly marked as ‘‘summary for 

inclusion in the report’’ at the top of the 

page. The summary may not exceed 500 

words and should not include any 

confidential business information. The 

summary will be published as provided 

if it meets these requirements and is 

germane to the subject matter of the 

investigation. The Commission will list 

the name of the organization furnishing 

the summary and will include a link to 

the Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS) where the 

written submission can be found. 

By order of the Commission.

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 

should the Commission find a violation, 

specifically: A limited exclusion order 

directed to certain smart thermostat 

systems, smart HVAC systems, smart 

HVAC control systems, and components 

thereof imported, sold for importation, 

and/or sold after importation by 

respondents: Ecobee, Ltd., ecobee Inc., 

and Google LLC (collectively, 

‘‘Respondents’’). Parties are to file 

public interest submissions pursuant to 

19 CFR 210.50(a)(4). 

The Commission is interested in 

further development of the record on 

the public interest in this investigation. 

Accordingly, members of the public are 

invited to file submissions of no more 

than five (5) pages, inclusive of 

attachments, concerning the public 

interest in light of the ALJ’s 

Recommended Determination on 

Remedy and Bonding issued in this 

investigation on April 4, 2022. 

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, 

complainant’s 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. 

Written submissions must be filed no 

later than by close of business on May 

20, 2022. 

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–1258’’) 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,

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. 

This action is taken under the 

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), 

and in Part 210 of the Commission’s
