SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission has received a complaint and 
a submission pursuant to Sec.  210.8(b) of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure filed on behalf of Versaggi Shrimp Corp. and W&W 
Dock LLP on October 28, 2026. 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 shrimp and 
products containing same. The complaint names as respondents: Nekkanti 
Sea Foods Ltd. of India; Eastern Fish Company of Teaneck, NJ; ALDI 
S[Uuml]D Dienstleistungs-SE & Co. oHG of Germany; ALDI Inc. of Batavia, 
IL; Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. of The Netherlands; Ahold Delhaize 
USA of Quincy, MA; and Meijer, Inc of Grand Rapids, MI. 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 respondents, other interested parties, members of the 
public, and interested government agencies 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.
    Written submissions on the public interest must be filed no later 
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 
written submissions on other issues must also be filed by no later than 
the close of business (5:15 p.m.) \1\, eight calendar days after 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Complainant(s) may 
file replies to any written submissions no later than three calendar 
days after the date on which the written submissions were due. 
Notwithstanding Sec.  201.14(a) of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, the deadlines for written submissions and replies shall 
be counted by calendar days starting with the first calendar day 
following the Federal Register publication date or the due date for 
written submissions, respectively. The provisions of Sec.  201.14(a) 
regarding the last day of the period still apply concerning the due 
date of any filings. No other submissions will be accepted, unless
