SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 4, 2022, the Commission instituted this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’), based on a complaint filed by Maxell, Ltd. of Kyoto, Japan (‘‘Maxell’’ or ‘‘Complainant’’). See 87 FR 26373–74 (May 4, 2022). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a violation of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain mobile electronic devices by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,199,821; 7,324,487; 8,170,394; 8,982,086; 10,129,590; and 10,244,284. The notice of investigation names Lenovo Group Ltd. of Beijing, China; Lenovo (United States) Inc. (‘‘Lenovo US’’) of Morrisville, North Carolina; and Motorola Mobility LLC of Libertyville, Illinois (collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’), as respondents in the investigation. See id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is also a party to the investigation. See id. On July 14, 2022, the Commission determined not to review an ID (Order No. 5) granting in part Complainant’s motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation. See Order No. 5 (June 14, 2022), unreviewed by Commission Notice (July 14, 2022). Specifically, Order No. 5 grants the motion with respect to Complainant’s request to withdraw the assertions in the complaint regarding Complainant’s reliance on its licensee Apple Inc.’s domestic activities to satisfy the domestic industry requirement.

Order No. 5, however, denies Complainant’s request to amend the complaint to permit Complainant to rely upon Lenovo US’s domestic activities to establish the domestic industry requirement. On July 18, 2022, Complainant filed a motion to terminate this investigation in its entirety based on withdrawal of the complaint, contingent upon the Commission instituting an investigation based on its own separate complaint filed in Certain Mobile Electronic Devices, Dkt. No. 337–3625. On July 25, 2022, Respondents filed a response partially opposing the motion with respect to Complainant’s asserted contingency. On July 27, 2022, Complainant filed a reply in support of its motion. On August 16, 2022, the Commission issued a notice of institution of Investigation No. 337–TA–1324 based on the complaint filed in Certain Mobile Electronic Devices, Dkt. No. 337–3625. See 87 FR 51445–46 (Aug. 22, 2022).

On August 19, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 10) granting Complainant’s motion to terminate this investigation based on complaint withdrawal. The ID finds that the motion complies with the Commission Rules. See ID at 2–3. In accordance with Commission Rule 210.21(a), 19 CFR 210.21(a), Complainant represents that ‘‘there are no agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between Maxell and the Respondents concerning the subject matter of this investigation.’’ See id. at 3. In addition, the ID finds ‘‘no extraordinary circumstances that would justify denying termination of this investigation based on withdrawal of the Complaint.’’ See id. After the issuance of Order No. 10, Investigation No. 337–TA–1324 was instituted upon publication of the notice of investigation in the Federal Register on August 22, 2022. See 87 FR 51445–46 (Aug. 22, 2022). No petition for review of the subject ID was filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The investigation is terminated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective April 15, 2022, the Commission established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its countervailing and antidumping duty investigations on sodium nitrite from India and Russia (87 FR 23567, April 20, 2022), following a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) that imports of sodium nitrite from Russia were being subsidized by the government of Russia (87 FR 22504, April 15, 2022). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on April 20, 2022, (87 FR 23567). In light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the COVID–19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on June 21, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate. Commerce issued a final affirmative countervailing duty determination with respect to sodium nitrite from Russia (87 FR 38375, June 28, 2022). The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of imports of sodium nitrite from Russia provided for in subheading 2834.10.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) that have been found by Commerce to be subsidized by the government of Russia (87 FR 51141, August 19, 2022). Commerce issued a final affirmative antidumping duty determination with respect to imports of sodium nitrite from Russia (87 FR 55781, September 12, 2022). Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its antidumping duty investigation on imports of sodium nitrite from Russia. This supplemental schedule is as follows: the deadline for filing supplemental party comments on Commerce’s final antidumping duty determination is September 21, 2022. Supplemental party comments may address only Commerce’s final antidumping duty determination regarding imports of sodium nitrite from Russia. These supplemental final comments may not contain new factual information and may not exceed five (5) pages in length.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 4, 2022, the Commission instituted 
this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based on a complaint filed 
by Maxell, Ltd. of Kyoto, Japan (``Maxell'' or ``Complainant''). See 87 
FR 26373-74 (May 4, 2022). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a 
violation of section 337 based upon the importation into the United 
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain mobile electronic devices by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,199,821; 
7,324,487; 8,170,394; 8,982,086; 10,129,590; and 10,244,284. The notice 
of investigation names Lenovo Group Ltd. of Beijing, China; Lenovo 
(United States) Inc. (``Lenovo US'') of Morrisville, North Carolina;

investigation. See id.
    On July 14, 2022, the Commission determined not to review an ID 
(Order No. 5) granting in part Complainant's motion to amend the 
complaint and notice of investigation. See Order No. 5 (June 14, 2022), 
unreviewed by Commission Notice (July 14, 2022). Specifically, Order 
No. 5 grants the motion with respect to Complainant's request to 
withdraw the assertions in the complaint regarding Complainant's 
reliance on its licensee Apple Inc.'s domestic activities to satisfy 
the domestic industry requirement. Order No. 5 also grants 
Complainant's request

[[Page 58136]]

to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to include Lenovo-
branded products in the plain-language description of the accused 
products. Order No. 5, however, denies Complainant's request to amend 
the complaint to permit Complainant to rely upon Lenovo US's domestic 
activities to establish the domestic industry requirement.
    On July 18, 2022, Complainant filed a motion to terminate this 
investigation in its entirety based on withdrawal of the complaint, 
contingent upon the Commission instituting an investigation based on 
its own separate complaint filed in Certain Mobile Electronic Devices, 
Dkt. No. 337-3625. On July 25, 2022, Respondents filed a response 
partially opposing the motion with respect to Complainant's asserted 
contingency. On July 27, 2022, Complainant filed a reply in support of 
its motion.
    On August 16, 2022, the Commission issued a notice of institution 
of Investigation No. 337-TA-1324 based on the complaint filed in 
Certain Mobile Electronic Devices, Dkt. No. 337-3625. See 87 FR 51445-
46 (Aug. 22, 2022). In view of the issuance of the Commission's notice, 
on August 17, 2022, Respondents filed a notice withdrawing their 
partial opposition with respect to Complainant's asserted contingency.
    On August 19, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 10) 
granting Complainant's motion to terminate this investigation based on 
complaint withdrawal. The ID finds that the motion complies with the 
Commission Rules. See ID at 2-3. In accordance with Commission Rule 
210.21(a), 19 CFR 210.21(a), Complainant represents that ``there are no 
agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between Maxell and the 
Respondents concerning the subject matter of this investigation.'' See 
id. at 3. In addition, the ID finds ``no extraordinary circumstances 
that would justify denying termination of this investigation based on 
withdrawal of the Complaint.'' See id. After the issuance of Order No. 
10, Investigation No. 337-TA-1324 was instituted upon publication of 
the notice of investigation in the Federal Register on August 22, 2022. 
See 87 FR 51445-46 (Aug. 22, 2022).
    No petition for review of the subject ID was filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission's vote for this determination took place on 
September 19, 2022.
    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
