Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 29 / Friday, February 12, 2016 / Notices 7583 

negative (no ash) ash fall reports by 

location. Ash fall reports (icons) will be 

publically displayed for a period of 24 

hours and shaded differently as they age 

so that the age of reports is obvious. 

The ash fall report database will help 

AVO track eruption clouds and 

associated fallout downwind. These 

reports from the public will also give 

scientists a more complete record of the 

amount and duration and other 

conditions of ash fall. Getting first-hand 

accounts of ash fall will support model 

ash fall development and interpretation 

of satellite imagery. AVO scientists 

will—as time allows—be able to contact 

the individuals using their entered 

contact information for clarification and 

details. Knowing the locations from 

which ash-fall reports have been filed 

will improve ash fall warning messages, 

AVO Volcanic Activity Notifications, 

and make fieldwork more efficient. AVO 

staff will be able to condense and 

summarize the various ash fall reports 

and forward that information on to 

emergency management agencies and 

the wider public. The online form will 

also free up resources during 

exceedingly busy times during an 

eruption, as most individuals currently 

phone AVO with their reports.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on October 10, 2014, based on a 

complaint filed by Valbruna Slater 

Stainless, Inc. of Fort Wayne, Indiana; 

Valbruna Stainless Inc., of Fort Wayne, 

Indiana; and Acciaierie Valbruna S.p.A. 

of Italy (collectively, ‘‘Valbruna’’). 79 FR 

61339 (Oct. 10, 2014). The complaint 

alleges violations of section 337 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 

U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the 

United States, the sale for importation, 

and the sale within the United States 

after importation of certain stainless 

steel products, certain processes for 

manufacturing or relating to same, and 

certain products containing same by 

reason of the misappropriation of trade 

secrets, the threat or effect of which is 

to destroy or substantially injure an 

industry in the United States. Id. The 

notice of investigation names as 

respondents Viraj Profiles Limited of 

Mumbai, India; Viraj Holdings P. Ltd. of 

Mumbai, India; Viraj—U.S.A., Inc. of 

Garden City, New York; Flanschenwerk 

Bebitz GmbH of Ko ̈nnern, Germany; 

Bebitz Flanges Works Pvt. Ltd. of 

Maharashtra, India; Bebitz U.S.A. of 

Garden City, New York; and Ta Chen 

Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd. of Tainan, 

Taiwan and Ta Chen International, Inc. 

of Long Beach, California (‘‘Ta Chen’’). 

Id. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) also was named 

as a party to the investigation. Id. 

On September 8, 2015, Valbruna filed 

a motion for default and other relief for 

Viraj’s failure to make and cooperate in 

discovery, intentional concealment and 

failure to preserve dispositive evidence, 

and misrepresentations to Valbruna and 

the Commission. On September 17, 

2015, OUII filed a response in support 

of Valbruna’s motion. On September 18, 

2015, Viraj filed a response opposing 

the motion. 

On December 8, 2015, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID (Order No. 17), granting 

in part Valbruna’s motion for default 

and other relief. The ALJ found that 

Viraj acted in bad faith in spoliating 

evidence and that a sanction of default 

against Viraj was warranted. The ALJ 

also ordered Viraj to disgorge any 

Valbruna operating practices in its 

possession. The ALJ denied Valbruna’s 

request to assert certain operating 

practices that the ALJ had previously 

excluded. 

On December 16, 2015, Viraj filed a 

petition for review. Ta Chen also filed 

a petition for review, arguing that it is 

entitled to an evidentiary hearing. On 

December 23, 2015, Valbruna and OUII 

each filed responses to both petitions. 

Valbruna’s response included a request 

for immediate entry of relief against 

Viraj. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the ID, the 

petitions for review, and the responses 

thereto, the Commission has determined 

to review the ID. Specifically, the 

Commission has determined to review 

the ID’s finding of default for spoliation 

of evidence as to Viraj and the ID’s order 

that Viraj disgorge any Valbruna 

operating practices in its possession. On 

review, the Commission affirms the 

default finding, with supplemental 

reasoning described in a forthcoming 

opinion. The Commission clarifies that 

the default finding against Viraj does 

not preclude the remaining respondents 

from participating in an evidentiary 

hearing and contesting the allegations at 

issue in the investigation. The 

Commission expects the stay of the 

procedural schedule to be lifted. 

In connection with its review, the 

Commission requests responses to the 

following questions only. The parties 

are requested to brief their positions 

with reference to the applicable law and 

the existing evidentiary record. 

1. Please provide an analysis of the 

Commission’s authority to (1) order 

Viraj to disgorge any Valbruna operating 

practices in its possession as a sanction 

for spoliation of evidence and (2) 

enforce such an order. Discuss the 

Commission’s jurisdiction to order 

disgorgement by a foreign entity. 

2. Please discuss whether the 

circumstances here provide the grounds 

for the issuance of immediate entry of 

relief against Viraj under Commission 

Rule 210.16(c). 

In connection with the final 

disposition of Order No. 17, the 

Commission may determine that 

immediate relief against Viraj is 

warranted. If so, the Commission may 

(1) issue an order that could result in 

the exclusion of the subject articles from 

entry into the United States, and/or (2) 

issue a cease and desist order that could 

result in Viraj 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.
