The complaint, as supplemented, was filed by complainants Celanese VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Aug 25, 2021 Jkt 253001 International Corporation of Irving, Texas; Celanese (Malta) Company 2 Limited of Qormi, Malta; and Celanese Sales U.S. Ltd. of Irving, Texas (collectively, ‘‘Celanese’’), and alleged 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, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain high-potency sweeteners, processes for making same, and products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of United States Patent Nos. 10,023,546; 10,208,004; 10,590,098; 10,233,163; and 10,590,095. Id. The complaint further alleged that a domestic industry exists. Id. The Commission’s notice of investigation named twelve respondents, including respondents Anhui Jinhe Industrial Co., Ltd., and Jinhe USA LLC (collectively, ‘‘Jinhe’’) and Prinova US LLC (‘‘Prinova’’). Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is also participating in this investigation. Id. On July 9, 2021, Celanese moved for leave to add the Proposed Respondents to the complaint and notice of investigation. On July 21, 2021, Jinhe filed a brief opposing Celanese’s motion on the grounds that certain of the Proposed Respondents could have been identified by Celanese in its original complaint, and that the current respondents, OUII, and the Proposed Respondents will be prejudiced by the addition of respondents at this stage of the investigation. The same day, Prinova filed a notice indicating that it joined Jinhe’s opposition. Also, on the same day, OUII filed a brief supporting Celanese’s motion. On August 6, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting Celanese’s motion. The subject ID is based on the ALJ’s subsidiary findings that Celanese has shown good cause to add allegations to the complaint that the Proposed Respondents have violated section 337 and that the current parties are unlikely to suffer prejudice due to the addition of the Proposed Respondents to the investigation. No petitions for review of the ID were received. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The notice of investigation is hereby amended to add the following as respondents to the investigation: 1. Amerisweet Co., Ltd.; 2. Batory Foods; 3. DMH Ingredients Inc.; 4. Fortway Chemicals Co.; 5.

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).

Statutory authority for the President’s National Medal of Science is contained in 42 U.S.C. 1881 (Pub. L. 86– 209), which established the award and stated that ‘‘(t)he President shall . . . award the Medal on the recommendations received from the National Academy of Sciences or on the basis of such other information and evidence as . . . appropriate.’’ • Alan T. Waterman Award. Congress established the Alan T. Waterman Award in August 1975 (42 U.S.C. 1881a (Pub. L. 94–86)) and authorized NSF to ‘‘establish the Alan T. Waterman Award for research or advanced study in any of the sciences or engineering’’ to mark the 25th anniversary of the National Science Foundation and to honor its first Director. The annual award recognizes an outstanding young researcher in any field of science or engineering supported by NSF. In addition to a medal, the awardee receives a grant of $1,000,000 over a five-year period for scientific research or advanced study in any field of science or engineering. • Vannevar Bush Award. The Vannevar Bush Award honors truly exceptional lifelong leaders in science and technology who have made substantial contributions to the welfare of the Nation through public service activities in science, technology, and public policy. The National Science Board established this award in 1980 in the memory of Vannevar Bush, who served as a science advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II, helped to establish Federal funding for science and engineering as a national priority during peacetime, and was behind the creation of the National Science Foundation.
