SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on October 8, 2010, based on a complaint filed by Leviton Manufacturing 
Co., Inc., of Melville, New York (``Leviton''). 75 FR 62420 (Oct. 8,

Act of 1930, as amended (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 ground fault circuit interrupters 
and products containing the same by reason of infringement of certain 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,463,124 (``the '124 patent''); 7,737,809 
(``the '809 patent''); and 7,764,151 (``the '151 patent''). The notice 
of investigation named numerous respondents, including Menard, Inc., of 
Eau Claire, Wisconsin (``Menard''); Westside Wholesale Electric & 
Lighting, Inc.; Westside Electric Wholesale, Inc.; and Westside

of Shanghai, China (``Shanghai ELE''); Shanghai Jia AO Electrical Co., 
Ltd., of Shanghai, China (``Shanghai Jia AO''); and American Electric 
Depot Inc. of Fresh Meadows, New York (``AED'').
    On April 27, 2012, the Commission issued its final determination 
finding that Leviton had proven a violation of section 337 based on 
infringement of the '809 patent but had not proven a violation based on 
infringement of the '124 and '151 patents. The Commission issued a 
general exclusion order barring entry of ground fault circuit 
interrupters that infringe the '809 patent and cease and desist orders 
against certain respondents, including Menard, Westside, and American 
Ace.
    On August 29, 2012, Leviton filed a complaint for enforcement 
proceedings under Commission rule 210.75(b). Leviton asserts that 
Menard, Westside, and American Ace have violated cease and desist 
orders in various ways, including by selling ground fault circuit 
interrupters that infringe claims 1-4, 6, 8-11, 13, 15-16, 35-37, 39, 
and 41-46 of the '809 patent, by selling infringing ground fault 
circuit interrupters during the Presidential review period without 
posting an appropriate bond, and by failing to file accurate reports 
with the Commission. Leviton also alleges that Shanghai ELE, Shanghai 
Jia AO, and AED have violated the general exclusion order entered in 
this investigation at least by importing ground fault circuit 
interrupters that infringe claims 1-4, 6, 8-11, 13, 15-16, 35-37, 39, 
and 41-46 of the '809 patent during the Presidential review period 
without posting an appropriate bond.
    Having examined the complaint seeking a formal enforcement 
proceeding, and having found that the complaint complies with the 
requirements for institution of a formal enforcement proceeding 
contained in Commission rule 210.75, the Commission has determined to 
institute formal enforcement proceedings to determine whether Menard, 
Westside, American Ace have violated cease and desist orders issued in 
this investigation; whether Shanghai ELE, Shanghai Jia AO, and AED have 
violated the general exclusion order issued in the investigation; and 
what, if any, enforcement measures are appropriate. The Commission has 
determined to name Leviton as the complainant in the formal enforcement 
proceeding, and to name the following as respondents to the formal 
enforcement proceeding: Menard, Westside, America Ace, Shanghai ELE, 
Shanghai Jia AO, and AED. The Commission has also determined to name 
the Office of Unfair Import Investigations as a party to the 
enforcement proceeding.
    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 210.75 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.75).
