[Investigation No. 337-TA-1230]
Certain Electric Shavers and Components and Accessories Thereof
Notice of Request for Submissions on the Public Interest
AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that on November 18, 2021, the
presiding administrative law judge (``ALJ'') issued an Initial
Determination Granting-in-Part Complainant Skull Shaver, LLC's Motion
for Summary Determination on Violations by the Defaulting Respondents,
and a Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bonding (``ID/RD''). The
Commission is soliciting submissions on public interest issues raised
by the recommended relief should the Commission find a violation. This
notice is soliciting comments from the public only.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sidney A. Rosenzweig, Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 708-2532. Copies of non-

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.
19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1). A similar provision applies to cease and desist
orders. 19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1).
The Commission is soliciting submissions on public interest issues
raised by the recommended relief should the Commission find a
violation. The ALJ recommended the issuance of a general exclusion
order (``GEO'') directed to certain electric shavers and components and
accessories thereof,
[[Page 67723]]
with an explicit carveout to exempt the products of terminated
respondents Benepuri LLC and Nukun Technology Co., Ltd. In the
alternative, the ALJ recommended the issuance of a limited exclusion
order (``LEO'') as to subject products imported, sold for importation,
and/or sold after importation by each defaulting respondent: (1) Suzhou
Kaidiya Garments Trading Co., Ltd.; (2) Yiwu City Qiaoyu Trading Co.,
Ltd. (``Yiwu City''); (3) Wenzhou Wending Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.;
(4) Shenzhen Aiweilai Trading Co., Ltd.; (5) Shenzhen Junmao
International Technology Co., Ltd.; (6) Shenzhen Wantong Information
Technology Co., Ltd.; (7) Yiwu Xingye Network Technology Co., Ltd.
(``Yiwu Xingye''); and (8) Bald Shaver Inc. (``Bald Shaver'').\1\
Regardless of whether a GEO or LEO issues, the ALJ also recommended the
issuance of cease and desist orders as to defaulting respondents Yiwu
City and Yiwu Xingye, based on findings that they, and not the other
defaulting respondents, maintain a commercially significant inventory
of subject products in the United States. The ALJ further recommended
that bond during the Presidential review period be set at one hundred
percent (100%) of the entered value of subject products. Parties are to
file public interest submissions pursuant to 19 CFR 210.50(a)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The ALJ's initial determination finding Bald Shaver in
default, Order No. 32 (Nov. 18, 2021), is currently pending before
the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission is interested in further development of the record
on the public interest in this investigation. Accordingly, members of
the public are invited to file submissions of no more than five (5)
pages, inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in
light of the ALJ's ID/RD. Comments should address whether issuance of
the recommended remedial orders in this investigation, should the
Commission find a violation, 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
remedial 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 orders within a
commercially reasonable time; and
(v) explain how the recommended orders would impact consumers in
the United States.
Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of
business on December 18, 2021.
Persons filing written submissions must file the original document
electronically on or before the deadlines stated above. The
Commission's paper filing requirements in 19 CFR 210.4(f) are currently
waived. 85 FR 15798 (Mar. 19, 2020). Submissions should refer to the
investigation number (``Inv. No. 337-TA-1230'') in a prominent place on
the cover page and/or the first page. (See Handbook for Electronic
Filing Procedures, <a href="https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf">https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf</a>.) Persons with questions regarding
filing should contact the Secretary (202-205-2000).
Any person desiring to submit a document to the Commission in
confidence must request confidential treatment by marking each document
with a header indicating that the document contains confidential
information. This marking will be deemed to satisfy the request
procedure set forth in Rules 201.6(b) and 210.5(e)(2) (19 CFR 201.6(b)
& 210.5(e)(2)). Documents for which confidential treatment by the
Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly. A redacted
non-confidential version of the document must also be filed
simultaneously with any confidential filing. All information, including
confidential business information and documents for which confidential
treatment is properly sought, submitted to the Commission for purposes
of this investigation may be disclosed to and used: (i) By the
Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for
developing or maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding,
or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations
relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission
including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government
employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity purposes.
All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure agreements.
All nonconfidential written submissions will be available for public
inspection on EDIS.
This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: November 22, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
