Officer.
The
Commission instituted this investigation
on May 9, 2016, based on a complaint
and supplements filed on behalf of
WCM Industries, Inc., (‘‘complainant’’)
of Colorado Springs, Colorado. 81 FR
28104 (May 9, 2016). The complaint as
supplemented alleges violations of
Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the sale for
importation, importation, or sale within
the United States after importation of
certain overflow and drain assemblies
for bathtubs and components thereof by
reason of infringement of certain claims
of U.S. Patent No. 8,302,220; U.S. Patent
No. 8,321,970; U.S. Patent No.
8,584,272; and U.S. Patent No.
9,200,436. The complaint further alleges
that an industry in the United States
exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of
section 337. The Notice of Investigation
names Bridging Partners Corporation
(‘‘BPC’’) of Taipei, Taiwan; BEC of
Taipei, Taiwan; and Everflow Industrial
Supply Corporation (‘‘EIS’’) of
Changhua, Taiwan as respondents. BPC
and EIS were previously terminated
from the investigation based on consent
order stipulations and consent orders.
Order No. 3 (unreviewed).
On July 1, 2016, complainant filed a
motion to terminate the investigation as
to BEC based on a consent order
stipulation and proposed consent order.
On July 11, 2016, the ALJ granted the
motion. Order No. 6. The ALJ found that
the consent order stipulation and the
proposed consent order comply with the
Commission’s rules. The ALJ also found
that there is no evidence that
termination of the investigation as to
BEC would be contrary to the public
interest. Id. at 4. No petitions for review
were filed.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID and has issued
a consent order. Since BEC is the last
remaining respondent in the
investigation, this action terminates the
investigation.
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).

Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigation, the United
States International Trade Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant

materially injured by reason of imports
of hydrofluorocarbon (‘‘HFC’’) blends
from China, provided for in subheading

Schedule of the United States, that have
been found by the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in
the United States at less than fair value
(‘‘LTFV’’).2 The Commission further
determines that a U.S. industry is not
materially injured or threatened with
material injury by reason of imports of
HFC components from China.
Background
