On July 17, 2012, the ALJ issued an ID granting Emerson’s motions to amend the complaint and NOI to add Mega and Zhongda as respondents.

The ALJ further found that neither the public interest nor any party would be prejudiced by the amendments.

Notice of Investigation named Anaheim Manufacturing Co. (``Anaheim''),

that Mega was involved in the production and manufacturing of the 
accused products in interrogatory responses. In addition, the ALJ noted 
that Emerson first learned that Zhongda was involved in the 
distribution, transportation, and importation of the accused products 
during discovery. The ALJ further found that neither the public 
interest nor any party would be prejudiced by the amendments. Anaheim 
filed a petition for review on July 25, 2012, and the IA and Emerson 
filed replies on August 1, 2012. We note that Anaheim's petition is not
