SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is soliciting comments on 
public interest issues raised by the recommended relief, should the 
Commission find a violation, specifically: (1) A limited exclusion 
order (``LEO'') against certain L-tryptophan, L-tryptophan products, 
and their methods of production, which are imported, sold for 
importation, and/or sold after importation by Respondents CJ 
CheilJedang Corp. of Seoul, Republic of Korea, CJ America, Inc. (``CJ 
America'') of Downers Grove, Illinois, and PT CheilJedang Indonesia of 
Jakarta, Indonesia (collectively ``CJ'' or ``Respondents''); and (2) a 
cease and desist order (``CDO'') against Respondent CJ America.
    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 these investigations. Accordingly, parties 
are to file public interest submissions pursuant to pursuant to 19 CFR 
210.50(a)(4). In addition, members of the public are hereby invited to 
file submissions of no more than five (5) 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 August 11, 2017. Comments 
should address whether issuance of the LEO and CDO in this 
investigation, should the Commission find a violation, 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:
    (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 
complainants, their licensees, or third parties make in the United 
States which could replace the subject articles if they were to be 
excluded;
    (iv) indicate whether complainants, complainants' 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 LEO and CDO would impact consumers in the 
United States.
    Written submissions from the public must be filed no later than by 
close of business on Wednesday, September 20, 2017.
