SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on December 11, 2015, based on a complaint filed by HYDOR USA Inc. of 
Sacramento, California. 80 FR 77019-20 (Dec. 11, 2015). The complaint 
alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent No. 8,191,846. The complaint further alleged that a 
domestic industry exists. The Commission's Notice of Investigation 
named Jebao Co., Ltd. of Zhongshan City, China as the sole respondent.
    On April 18, 2016, complainant and the sole respondent moved for 
termination of the investigation based on a consent order stipulation 
and a settlement agreement. The Commission investigative attorney 
supported the motion.
    On May 4, 2016, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 10) 
granting the joint motion and finding that the motion for termination 
satisfies Commission Rules 210.21(a)(1) and (b)(1), termination is in 
the public interest, and that no ``extraordinary circumstances'' exist 
that would preclude granting the motion. No party petitioned for review 
of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID and has issued 
the consent order and terminated the investigation.
    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.
