Further to our March 11 post, on April 6, 2009, Chief ALJ Paul J. Luckern issued Order No. 3 – setting target date in Certain Adjustable Keyboard Support Systems and Components Thereof (337-TA-670).

In the Order, Chief ALJ Luckern set a 15 month target date (i.e., June 14, 2010).  The 15 month target date was set despite an argument from respondents CompX International Inc. and Waterloo Furniture Components Limited d/b/a CompX Waterloo that an 18 month target date is required in view of “the complexity and multiplicity of factual and legal issues involved in the investigation.”  The complainant requested a 14 month target date and the ITC Staff requested a 15 month target date.  According to the Order, any final initial determination will be filed no later than February 15, 2010.  Also, the evidentiary hearing is scheduled to commence on December 1, 2009.
