a submission pursuant to Sec. 210.8(b) of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure filed on behalf of Velodyne Lidar USA, Inc. on
June 16, 2022. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States
after importation of certain rotating 3-d lidar devices, components
thereof, and sensing systems containing the same. The complainant names
as respondent: Ouster, Inc. of San Francisco, CA; and Benchmark
Electronics, Inc. The complainant requests that the Commission issue a
limited exclusion order, cease and desist orders, and impose a bond
upon respondents alleged infringing articles during the 60-day
Presidential review period pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1337(j).
Proposed respondent, other interested parties, and members of the
public are invited to file comments on any public interest issues
raised by the complaint or Sec. 210.8(b) filing. Comments should
address whether issuance of the relief specifically requested by the
complainant in this investigation 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 requested
remedial orders are used in the United States;
(ii) identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the
United States relating to the requested remedial 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 requested exclusion order and/or a
cease and desist order within a commercially reasonable time; and
(v) explain how the requested remedial orders would impact United
States consumers.

than by close of business, eight calendar days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. There will be
further opportunities for comment on the public interest after the
issuance of any final initial determination in this investigation. Any
