SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on August 9, 2016, based on a complaint filed on behalf of The 
Chamberlain Group, Inc. of Elmhurst, Illinois. 81 FR 52713. The 
complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of 
infringement of the following U.S. Patent Nos.: 7,161,319; 7,196,611; 
and 7,339,336. The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry 
exists. The Commission's notice of investigation named six respondents. 
The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating in the 
investigation.

[[Page 76383]]

    On September 23, 2016, complainant filed an unopposed motion to 
amend the complaint and notice of investigation (``NOI'') to add two 
entities as respondents: (1) Techtronic Trading Limited of Kwai Chung, 
Hong Kong; and (2) Techtronic Industries Factory Outlets Inc., d/b/a 
Direct Tools Factory Outlet of Anderson, South Carolina.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID on September 28, 2016, granting 
complainant's motion to amend the complaint and NOI. He found that good 
cause exists to grant the motion to amend under Commission Rule 
210.14(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)). No petitions for review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the 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: October 27, 2016.
