of Commission Decision Not To Review an Initial Determination 
Correcting the Names of Certain Respondents

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 4) issued by the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') in the above-referenced investigation correcting the names of 
certain respondents in the notice of investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on April 4, 2008, based on a complaint filed by Philip Morris USA Inc. 
(``Philip Morris''). 73 FR 18561 (April 4, 2008). The complaint alleges 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in 
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain 
cigarettes and packaging thereof by reason of infringement of various 
United States trademark registrations. The complaint names thirteen 
respondents.
    On May 29, 2008, a preliminary conference was conducted with 
counsel for complainant Philip Morris, counsel for respondent Alcesia 
SRL (``Alcesia''), and the Commission Investigative Attorney (``IA''). 
Respondent Alcesia had previously been identified in the notice of 
investigation as ``Eugenia Moscovchuk d.b.a. Cigoutlet.biz.'' During 
the preliminary conference, respondent Alcesia requested that its name 
be corrected to ``Alcesia SRL.'' No party at the preliminary conference 
had any opposition to the issuance of an ID correcting the name of 
respondent Alcesia.
    At the preliminary conference, reference was also made to the 
respondent Best Product Solution Ltd. (``Best Product''), which had 
previously been identified in the notice of investigation as ``Best 
Product Solution Limited d.b.a. Dirtcheapbutts.com.'' In respondent 
Best Product's response to the complaint, it indicated that it has 
never, and does not now, do business under the name used in the notice 
of investigation. Neither complainant Philip Morris nor the IA had any 
objection to issuing an ID to correct the name of respondent Best 
Product to ``Best Product Solution Ltd.''
    On June 3, 2008, the ALJ issued the subject ID correcting the names 
of respondent Alcesia and respondent Best Product. No petitions for 
review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ALJ's 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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 20, 2008.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
