SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930

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.

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, members of

pages, inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in 
light of the administrative law judge's Recommended Determination on 
Remedy and Bond issued in this investigation on September 27, 2012. 
Comments should address whether issuance of an exclusion order and a 
cease and desist order 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.

    (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 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 exclusion order and cease and desist order 
would impact consumers in the United States.
