-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the presiding administrative law 
judge has issued a final initial determination and recommended 
determination on remedy and bonding in the above-captioned 
investigation. The Commission is soliciting comments on public interest 
issues raised by the recommended relief, specifically a limited 
exclusion order against certain marine sonar imaging devices, including 
downscan and sidescan devices, products containing the same, and 
components thereof, imported by respondents Garmin International, Inc., 
Garmin USA, Inc., each of Olathe, Kansas, and Garmin (Asia) Corporation 
of New Taipei City, Taiwan, and a cease and desist order against the 
domestic respondents. This notice is soliciting public interest 
comments from the public only. Parties are to file public interest 
submissions pursuant to 19 CFR 210.50(a)(4).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lucy Grace D. Noyola, Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-3438. The public version of 
the complaint can be accessed on the Commission's electronic docket 
(EDIS) at http://edis.usitc.gov, and 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 
SW., Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-2000. General 
information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing

obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on (202) 205-1810.

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 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 pages, 
inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in light of 
the administrative law judge's recommended determination on remedy and 
bonding issued in this investigation on July 2, 2015. Comments should 
address whether issuance of a limited exclusion order and cease and 
desist order in this investigation 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:

[[Page 39800]]

    (i) Explain how the articles potentially subject to the recommended 
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, its 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 
third party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of 
articles potentially subject to the recommended exclusion order and/or 
a cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
    (v) explain how the limited exclusion order and cease and desist 
order would impact consumers in the United States.

Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of business on 
August 11, 2015. Persons filing written submissions must file the 
original document electronically on or before the deadlines stated 
above and submit eight true paper copies to the Office of the Secretary 
by noon the next day pursuant to section 210.4(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.4(f)). Submissions should 
refer to the investigation number (Inv. No. 337-TA-908) in a prominent 
place on the cover page, the first page, or both. (See Handbook for

questions regarding filing should contact the Secretary at (202) 205-
2000.
    Any person desiring to submit a document to the Commission in 
confidence must request confidential treatment. All such requests 
should be directed to the Secretary to the Commission and must include 
a full statement of the reasons why the Commission should grant such 
treatment. See 19 CFR 201.6. Documents for which confidential treatment 
by the Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly. A 
redacted non-confidential version of the document must also be filed 
simultaneously with any confidential filing. All non-confidential 
written submissions will be available for public inspection at the 
Office of the Secretary and 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 of sections 201.10 
and 210.50 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
