INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigations Nos. 337-TA-148/169]

 

Commission Determination Denying Two Petitions for Modification 
of Exclusion Order and Request for Order Compelling Full Accounting

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the Matter of: Certain Processes for the Manufacture of 
Skinless Sausage Casing and Resulting Product

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined to deny two petitions for modification of the 
limited exclusion order issued November 26, 1984, in the above-
captioned investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith M. Czako, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, 
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-3093.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 18, 1994, counsel for Viskase 
Corporation, successor in interest to complainant in the above-
captioned investigation, filed a petition requesting, inter alia, 
modification of the limited exclusion order issued at the conclusion of 
the investigation. Specifically, the petition requested that the 
Commission extend the term of the limited exclusion order in order to 
remedy alleged violations of that order by Viscofan, S.A., respondent 
in the original investigation. On February 24, 1994, counsel for 
Teepak, Inc., also filed a petition requesting, inter alia, 
modification of that exclusion order to extend its term. The Commission 
determined to apply a revised procedure, similar to the procedure set 
forth in proposed final rule 210.76, published in the Federal Register 
on November 5, 1992 (57 FR 52830, 52883), to its consideration of the 
two petitions. The revised procedure provided that any person might 
file a response to the two petitions. Numerous requests for leave to 
file submissions beyond those provided for in the revised procedure 
were received by the Commission. The Commission denied those requests. 
In addition, an allegation concerning disclosure of confidential 
business information was made by counsel on behalf of Teepak. The 
Commission, having investigated the allegation, determined that no 
confidential business information was disclosed in the filings in this 
proceeding.
    Having considered the petitions for modification, and the responses 
thereto, the Commission has determined to deny the petitions. The 
Commission will shortly issue its views regarding this matter.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337, 19 U.S.C. 1335), and 
section 211.57 of the Commission's Interim Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 211.57).
    Copies of the Commission's Order and opinion, the petitions and 
responses thereto, and all other nonconfidential 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, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone (202) 205-2000. 
Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on the matter can 
be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on (202) 205-
1810.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 22, 1994.

Secretary.
