therefore should not include any such information in their comments 
that they do not want publicly disclosed. Written comments submitted in 
electronic form are not private. The Department will post the comments

to disclose that information (including trade secrets and commercial or 
financial information that are privileged or confidential within the 
meaning of 19 U.S.C. 2605(i)(1)).
