                Practice and Procedure filed on behalf of Essex Solutions Inc. and
                Essex Solutions USA LLC on September 29, 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
                extrusion-coated magnet wire. The complaint names as respondents:
                Wellascent Electronic (Ganzhou) Co., Ltd. of China; and Wellascent
                Technologies USA LLC. of Grand Prairie, TX. 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.

                than by close of business, eight calendar days after the date of
                publication of this notice in the Federal Register. There will be
