SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930
provides that if the Commission finds a violation it shall exclude the
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, parties
are to file public interest submissions pursuant to pursuant to 19 CFR

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 July 23, 2018. Comments should
address whether issuance of a limited exclusion order and cease and
desist orders in this investigation directed to respondents' LiSi Press
products 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
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 limited exclusion order and cease and desist
orders would impact consumers in the United States.
Written submissions from the public must be filed no later than by
close of business on September 13, 2018.
Persons filing written submissions must file the original document
electronically on or before the deadlines stated above and submit 8
