SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background.--In May 2004, the Commission determined that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
certain color television receivers (CTVs) from China. Sichuan Changhong 
Electric Co. (Changhong) subsequently instituted an action at the CIT 
challenging the Commission's determination.
    The CIT issued an opinion in the matter on November 15, 2006. 
Sichuan Changhong Electric Co. v. United States, Ct. No. 04-00266, Slip 
Op. 06-168 (Ct. Int'l Trade Nov. 15, 2006). In its opinion, the CIT 
rejected all arguments asserted by plaintiff Changhong, but remanded 
the matter to the Commission for explanation and possible modification 
concerning the ``specific causation determination'' requirements 
imposed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Bratsk 
Aluminum Smelter v. United States, 444 F.3d 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2006) and 
Caribbean Ispat, Ltd. v. United States, 450 F.3d 1336 (Fed. Cir. 2006).
    Participation in the proceeding.--Only those persons who were 
interested parties to the original investigation (i.e., persons listed 
on the Commission Secretary's service list) and were parties to the 
appeal may participate in the remand proceeding. Such persons need not 
make any additional filings with the Commission to participate in the 
remand proceeding. References to business proprietary information 
(``BPI'') during the remand proceeding will be governed, as 
appropriate, by the administrative protective order issued in the 
original investigation.
    Written Submissions.--The Commission is not reopening the record in 
this proceeding for submission of new factual information. The 
Commission will, however, permit the parties to file comments 
pertaining to the inquiries that are the subject of the CIT's remand 
instructions. Comments shall be limited to no more than twenty (20) 
double-spaced and single-sided pages of textual material. The parties 
may not submit any new factual information and may not address any 
issue other than the applicability of the Bratsk and Ispat decisions to 
this investigation, whether the Commission's causation analysis in the 
original investigations complies with the requirements the Federal 
Circuit articulated in those two decisions, and what, if any, 
modifications must be made to the Commission's causation analysis to 
put it into conformance with the requirements articulated in those 
decisions. Any such comments must be filed with the Commission no later 
than January 8, 2007.
    All written submissions must conform with the provisions of section 
201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions that contain BPI must 
also conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 
of the Commission's rules. The Commission's

[[Page 76363]]

rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the Secretary by 
facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by 
section 201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036 
(November 8, 2002).
    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's 
rules, each document filed by a party to the investigation must be 
served on all other parties to the investigation (as identified by 
either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service 
must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for 
filing without a certificate of service.
    Parties are also advised to consult the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 
201), and part 207, subpart A (19 CFR part 207) for provisions of 
general applicability concerning written submissions to the Commission.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: December 15, 2006.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
