SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Investigation No. 
337-TA-1013 on July 27, 2016, based on a complaint filed by 
Complainants Lehigh Valley Technologies, Inc. of Allentown, 
Pennsylvania; Endo Global Ventures of Hamilton, Bermuda; Endo Ventures 
Limited, of Dublin, Ireland; and Generics Bidco I, LLC (d/b/a Qualitest 
Pharmaceuticals and Par Pharmaceutical) of Huntsville, Alabama 
(collectively, ``Complainants''). See 81 FR 49263 (July 27, 2016). The 
complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based upon the importation into the United 
States, or the sale of certain potassium chloride powder products by 
reason of false advertising, the threat or effect of which is to 
destroy or substantially injure an industry in the United States. See 
id. The notice of investigation identified Viva Pharmaceutical Inc. of 
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada; Virtus Pharmaceuticals, LLC of 
Tampa, Florida; and Virtus Pharmaceuticals OPCO II, LLC, of Nashville, 
Tennessee (collectively, ``Respondents'') as respondents in this 
investigation. See id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is 
also a party to this investigation. See id.
    On November 18, 2016, Complainants and Respondents (collectively, 
``the Private Parties'') filed a joint motion to terminate the 
investigation based upon settlement (``Joint Motion''). On November 30, 
2016, the Commission Investigative Attorney filed a response in support 
of the Joint Motion.
    On December 19, 2016, the ALJ issued a corrected initial 
determination (``ID'') (Order No. 10) granting the Joint Motion. As 
noted in the ID, the Private Parties ``state[d] that `there are no 
other agreements, written or oral, express or implied between 
Complainants and Respondents concerning the subject matter of this 
Investigation' other than the documents submitted with the Joint 
Motion.'' See ID at 1-2. The ALJ further noted that the Private 
``Parties have attached both public and confidential versions of their 
Settlement Agreement'' to the Joint Motion. See id. at 4. The ALJ also 
considered the public interest under Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2), 19 
CFR 210.50(b)(2) and determined that termination was not contrary to 
the public interest. See id.
    No party has filed a petition for review of the subject ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    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: January 6, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
