The USITC is now asking for comments from the public and interested groups. Comments should focus on:

  • How the dental burs and kits are used in the United States
  • Any public health, safety, or welfare concerns related to the orders requested
  • If there are similar products made in the U.S. that could replace the foreign items if excluded
  • Whether complainant, their licensees, or third parties can meet demand if the products are excluded within a reasonable time
  • How the requested orders would affect U.S. consumers

Comments about the public interest must be sent in no later than eight calendar days after the notice’s publication. Replies to comments must be sent no later than three days after the original submission deadline. Comments and replies must be no longer than five pages.

All written submissions must be sent electronically using the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. No paper filings will be accepted at this time.
