WCM Industries, Inc., (``complainant'') of Colorado Springs, Colorado. 
81 FR 28104 (May 9, 2016). The complaint as supplemented alleges 
violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 
U.S.C. 1337, in the sale for importation, importation, or sale within 
the United States after importation of certain overflow and drain 
assemblies for bathtubs and components thereof by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,302,220; U.S. 
Patent No. 8,321,970; U.S. Patent No. 8,584,272; and U.S. Patent No. 
9,200,436. The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United

Notice of Investigation names Bridging Partners Corporation (``BPC'') 
of Taipei, Taiwan; BEC of Taipei, Taiwan; and Everflow Industrial 
Supply Corporation (``EIS'') of Changhua, Taiwan as respondents. BPC 
and EIS were previously terminated from the investigation based on 
consent order stipulations and consent orders. Order No. 3 
(unreviewed).
    On July 1, 2016, complainant filed a motion to terminate the 
investigation as to BEC based on a consent order stipulation and 
proposed consent order.
    On July 11, 2016, the ALJ granted the motion. Order No. 6. The ALJ 
found that the consent order stipulation and the proposed consent order 
comply with the Commission's rules. The ALJ also found that there is no 
evidence that termination of the investigation as to BEC would be 
contrary to the public interest. Id. at 4. No petitions for review were 
filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID and has 
issued a consent order. Since BEC is the last remaining respondent in 
the investigation, this action terminates 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).
