    Scope of Investigation: Having considered the complaint, the U.S.

Guangzhou 510730, China.
    (3) For the investigation so instituted, the Chief Administrative 
Law Judge, U.S. International Trade Commission, shall designate the 
presiding Administrative Law Judge.
    The Office of Unfair Import Investigations will not participate as 
a party in the investigation.
    The Commission notes that issues regarding whether the importation 
requirement of section 337 is met may be present here. In instituting 
this investigation, the Commission has not made any determination as to 
whether Complainant has satisfied this requirement. Accordingly, the 
presiding Administrative Law Judge may wish to consider this issue at 
an early date. Notwithstanding any Commission Rules to the contrary, 
which are hereby waived, any such decision should be issued in the form 
of an initial determination (ID) under Rule 210.42(c), 19 CFR 
210.42(c). The ID will become the Commission's final determination 45 
days after the date of service of the ID unless the Commission 
determines to review the ID. Any such review will be conducted in 
accordance with Commission Rules 210.43, 210.44, and 210.45, 19 CFR 
210.43, 210.44, and 210.45.
    Responses to the complaint and the notice of investigation must be 
submitted by the named respondents in accordance with section 210.13 of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.13. 
Pursuant to 19 CFR 201.16(e) and 210.13(a), such responses will be 
considered by the Commission if received not later than 20 days after 
the date of service by the Commission of the complaint and the notice 
of investigation. Extensions of time for submitting responses to the 
complaint and the notice of investigation will not be granted unless 
good cause therefor is shown.
    Failure of a respondent to file a timely response to each 
allegation in the complaint and in this notice may be deemed to 
constitute a waiver of the right to appear and contest the allegations 
of the complaint and this notice, and to authorize the administrative 
law judge and the Commission, without further notice to the respondent, 
to find the facts to be as alleged in the complaint and this notice and 
to enter an initial determination and a final determination containing 
such findings, and may result in the issuance of an exclusion order or 
a cease and desist order or both directed against the respondent.

    By order of the Commission.
    Issued: October 25, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
