On August 14, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 32), granting the motion to terminate the investigation as to TCL and T-Mobile, the last remaining respondents, and terminating the investigation in its entirety. The subject ID finds that the motion meets the requirements of Commission Rules 210.21(b)(1) and 210.50(b)(2) (
19 CFR 210.21(b)(1),
210.50(b)(2)), and that there are no extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the requested termination of the investigation. No petition for review of the ID was filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. Accordingly, the Commission terminates the last remaining respondents TCL and T-Mobile from the investigation and thus terminates the investigation in its entirety.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on September 15, 2026.
