Download as PDF jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES 32474 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 130 / Monday, July 8, 2019 / Notices preclude the issuance of the limited exclusion order and cease and desist order. Finally, the Commission has determined that the bond for importation during the period of Presidential review shall be in the amount of three percent of the entered value of the imported subject articles of MSi Lighting. The parties also have several pending motions and requests. On February 6, 2019, Complainants moved to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to reflect a corporate name change, as Philips Lighting North American Corporation changed its name to Signify North America Corporation and Philips Lighting Holding B.V. changed its name to Signify Holding B.V. No party opposed the motion. The Commission grants Complainants’ motion for good cause shown. The term ‘‘Complainants’’ refers to both Signify North America Corporation and Signify Holding B.V., as well as their previous names, Philips Lighting North American Corporation and Philips Lighting Holding B.V. On May 7, 2019, Respondents filed a letter stating that Complainants inappropriately attached a version of an expert witness statement that contains stricken material and that was not admitted into evidence. The Commission clarifies that it has relied upon only the version of the expert witness statement that was admitted into evidence. On May 23, 2019, Respondents filed a letter requesting to conduct posthearing discovery concerning alleged perjury based on statements that occurred nine months earlier during the evidentiary hearing on August 20, 2018. On May 31, 2019, Complainants filed a letter in response. The Commission denies Respondents’ tardy request for post-hearing discovery for failure to establish an adequate basis for their requested relief. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that Complainants have failed to show a violation of section 337 by Respondents with respect to the ’399, ’559, and ’554 patents. The Commission has also determined to issue a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against MSi Lighting pursuant to section 337(g)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)). The Commission’s determinations are explained more fully in the accompanying Opinion. All other findings in the ID under review that are consistent with the Commission’s determinations are affirmed. The Commission’s notice, orders, and opinion were delivered to the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day of their VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:44 Jul 05, 2019 Jkt 247001 issuance. The Commission has also notified the Secretary of the Treasury and Customs and Border Protection of the order. The investigation is hereby terminated. 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).By order of the Commission. Issued: July 1, 2019. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission.
