sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain height-adjustable desk platforms and components

public are invited to file comments, not to exceed five (5) pages in 
length, inclusive of attachments, on any public interest issues raised

welfare in the United States, competitive conditions in the United 
States economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles

    In particular, the Commission is interested in comments that:

remedial orders are used in the United States;
    (ii) identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the

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 requested exclusion order and/or a 
cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
    (v) explain how the requested remedial orders would impact United 
States consumers.
    Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of 
business, eight calendar days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. There will be further opportunities for 
comment on the public interest after the issuance of any final initial 
determination in this investigation.
