SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 29, 2016, based on a complaint filed by Edgewell Personal 
Care Brands, LLC, of Chesterfield, Missouri, and International Refills 
Company, Ltd., of Christ Church, Barbados (collectively, 
``Complainants''). 81 FR 10277-78. The complaint alleges violations of 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 
(``section 337''), in the importation into the United States, the sale 
for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain diaper disposal systems and components thereof, 
including diaper refill cassettes, by reason of infringement of certain 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,974,029 and 8,899,420. Id. at 10277. The 
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents Munchkin, 
Inc., of Van Nuys, California; Munchkin Baby Canada Ltd., of Brampton, 
Canada; and Lianyungang Brilliant Daily Products Co. Ltd., of 
Lianyungang, China. Id. at 10278. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is not participating in this investigation. Id.
    On March 31, 2016, Complainants filed an unopposed motion to amend 
the complaint and the notice of investigation in order to add two 
respondents: Lianyungang Rainbow Daily Products Co., Ltd., of 
Lianyungang, China; and Munchkin Asia Limited, of Hong Kong, China. 
Complainants argue that they learned through discovery that these 
parties are involved in the manufacture and/or sale for importation of 
the accused products in this investigation.
    On April 8, 2016, the ALJ issued the subject ID and granted 
Complainants' motion to amend the complaint and the notice of 
investigation. No petitions for review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: April 22, 2016.
