SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on November 8, 2016, based on a complaint filed by Kemin Industries, 
Inc. and Kemin Foods, L.C. both of Des Moines, Iowa (collectively, 
``complainants''). 81 FR 78634-35 (Nov. 8, 2016). The complaint alleges 
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 
Nos. 8,815,955 and 9,226,940. The complaint further alleges the 
existence of a domestic industry. The notice of investigation named as 
respondents OmniActive Health Technologies of Mumbai, India and 
OmniActive Health Technologies, Inc. of Morristown, New Jersey 
(collectively, ``respondents''). Id. at 78635. The Office of Unfair 
Import Investigations was not named as a party.
    On December 13, 2016, complainants and respondents filed a joint 
motion to terminate the investigation based on settlement. The parties 
represent that the settlement agreement reflects the entire and only 
agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter of the 
investigation and that there are no other agreement, written or oral, 
express or implied between the parties concerning the subject matter of 
the investigation.
    On December 28, 2016, the ALJ granted the joint motion to terminate 
the investigation based on settlement. The ALJ found that the parties' 
submissions, including a modified public version of the settlement 
agreement submitted on December 22, 2016, satisfy the Commission's 
rules. The ALJ found that the termination of this investigation based 
on settlement does not pose any public interest concerns. The ALJ also 
found that it is in the interest of the public and administrative 
economy to grant the motion.
    No petitions for review of the subject ID were filed, and the 
Commission has determined not to review the 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 17, 2017.

Secretary to the Commission.
