        Upon consideration of the petitions of the SEC and Amnesty International for

leave to file a supplemental brief in support of petition for panel rehearing, and the
lodged supplemental brief, it is

       ORDERED that the motion for leave to file a supplemental brief be granted. The
Clerk is directed to file the lodged supplemental brief. It is

       FURTHER ORDERED that the petitions for panel rehearing be granted. It is

      FURTHER ORDERED that the parties file supplemental briefs, not to exceed 20
pages, addressing the following questions:

      (1) What effect, if any, does this court’s ruling in American Meat Institute v. U.S.
Department of Agriculture, 760 F.3d 18 (D.C. Cir. 2014) (en banc), have on the First
Amendment issue in this case regarding the conflict mineral disclosure requirement?

       (2) What is the meaning of “purely factual and uncontroversial information” as
used in Zauderer v. Office of Disciplinary Counsel, 471 U.S. 626 (1985), and American
Meat Institute v. U.S. Department of Agriculture, 760 F.3d 18 (D.C. Cir. 2014) (en
banc)?

       (3) Is determination of what is “uncontroversial information” a question of fact?

widely known. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Procedures 41 (2013);
Notice Regarding Use of Acronyms (D.C. Cir. Jan. 26, 2010).
