SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930

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.

pages, inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in 
light of the administrative law judge's Initial Determination and 
Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bonding issued in this

issuance of limited exclusion orders and a 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.

cease and desist order;
(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 limited exclusion 
orders and cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable 
time; and
(v) explain how the recommended limited exclusion orders 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 October 5, 2015.
