INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337-TA-685]


In the Matter of Certain Flash Memory and Products Containing 
Same Notice of Request for Statements on the Public Interest

    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.

19 U.S.C. Sec.  1337(d)(1). A similar provision applies to cease and 
desist orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1).
    The Commission is interested in further development of the record 
on the public interest in its investigations. Accordingly, the parties 
are invited to file submissions of no more than five (5) pages 
concerning the public interest in light of the administrative law 
judge's Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bonding issued in this 
investigation on February 28, 2011. Comments should address whether 
issuance of a limited exclusion order and/or a cease and desist order 
in this investigation could 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 orders are 
used in the United States;
    (ii) Identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the 
United States relating to the potential orders;
    (iii) Indicate the extent to which like or directly competitive 
articles are produced in the United States or are otherwise available 
in the United States, with respect to the articles potentially subject 
to the orders; and
    (iv) Indicate whether Complainant, Complainant's licensees, and/or 
third party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of 
articles potentially subject to a limited exclusion order and/or a 
cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time.
    Any submissions are due on April 4, 2011.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 7, 2011.
James R. Holbein,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
