Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW,

confidential documents filed in connection with this investigation are 
or will be available for inspection during official business hours 
(8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436, 
telephone (202) 205-2000. General information concerning the Commission 
may also be obtained by accessing its internet server (https://www.usitc.gov). The public record for this investigation may be viewed 
on the Commission's Electronic Docket Information System (``EDIS'') 
(https://edis.usitc.gov). Hearing-impaired persons are advised that 
information on this matter can be obtained by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal, telephone (202) 205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 
(``Section 337'') provides that if the Commission finds a violation it 
shall exclude the articles concerned from the United States unless 
after considering the public interest factors listed in 19 U.S.C. 
1337(d)(1), it finds such articles should not be prevented from entry. 
A similar provision applies to cease and desist orders. 19 U.S.C. 
1337(f)(1).
    The Commission is soliciting comments on public interest issues 
raised by the recommended relief should the Commission find a 
violation, specifically whether the Commission should issue: (1) A 
limited exclusion order (``LEO'') against certain magnetic data storage 
devices that are imported, sold for importation, and/or sold after 
importation by Respondents Sony Corporation of Tokyo, Japan, Sony 
Storage Media Solutions Corporation of Tokyo, Japan, Sony Storage Media 
Manufacturing Corporation of Miyagi, Japan, Sony DADC US Inc. (``Sony 
DADC'') of Terre Haute, Indian, and Sony Latin America Inc. (``SOLA'') 
of Miami, Florida; and (2) a cease and desist order (``CDO'') against 
Sony DADC and SOLA.
    The Commission is interested in further development of the record 
on the public interest in this investigation. Accordingly, parties are 
to file public interest submissions 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 October 25, 2018. 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 Friday, November 30, 2018.
    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

Filing Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf.). Persons with questions regarding 
filing should contact the Secretary (202-205-2000). Any person desiring 
to submit a document to the Commission in confidence must request 
confidential treatment. All such requests should be directed to the 
Secretary to the Commission and must include 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. All information, including 
confidential business information and documents for which confidential 
treatment is properly sought, submitted to the Commission for purposes 
of this Investigation may be disclosed to and used: (i) By the 
Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for 
developing or maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding, 
or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations 
relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission 
including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government 
employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity purposes.
