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 26, 2012. Comments

and desist order in this investigation could affect the public health

States economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles 
in the United States, or United States consumers.

desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
