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 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 September 12, 2017. Comments 
should address whether issuance of a limited exclusion order and cease 
and desist orders 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:
    (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

[[Page 43568]]

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 
orders would impact consumers in the United States.
    Written submissions from the public must be filed no later than by 
close of business on October 10, 2017.
    Persons filing written submissions must file the original document 
electronically on or before the deadlines stated above and submit 8 
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-1012'') in a prominent place on

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

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
