Issued: August 6, 2018. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission. The Commission instituted this investigation on November 8, 2017, based on a complaint filed by Phillips Lighting North America Corp. of Somerset, New Jersey, and Phillips Lighting Holding B.V. of Eindhoven, Netherlands (together, ‘‘Phillips’’). 82 FR 51872. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff 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 LED lighting devices, LED power supplies, and components thereof that infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,586,890; 7,038,399; 7,256,554; 7,262,559; and 8,070,328 (‘‘the ’328 patent’’). Id. The Federal Register’s notice of investigation names as respondents Feit Electric Company, Inc., of Pico Rivera, California; Edgewell Personal Care Brands, LLC of Shelton, Connecticut (‘‘Edgewell’’); Feit Electric Company, Inc. (China) of Xiamen, China; Lowe’s Companies of Mooresville, North Carolina; L G Sourcing of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina; MSi Lighting, Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida; Satco Products, Inc. of Brentwood, New York; Topaz Lighting Corp. of Holtsville, New York; Wangs Alliance Corporation d/b/a WAC Lighting Co. of Port Washington, New York; and WAC Lighting (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., of Shanghai, China. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating in this investigation. Id. The Commission previously terminated the investigation with respect to the ’328 patent. Order No. 44 (May 22, 2018), not reviewed Notice (June 11, 2018). Neither the original complaint nor the amended complaint makes any allegations against Edgewell. The Federal Register notice of investigation, however, names Edgewell as a respondent. Under Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)), good cause exists to amend the notice of investigation to correct this error by deleting Edgewell. 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).

INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-1378-1379 (Final)]


Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From Korea and Taiwan

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of low melt polyester staple fiber (PSF) from Korea 
and Taiwan that have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV'').2 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From the Republic of Korea: 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final 
Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part, 83 FR 
29094 (June 22, 2018); Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From Taiwan: 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 83 FR 29099 
(June 22, 2018).
    \3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on Korea.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
