Therefore, the Commission is amending the second sentence in the third from the last paragraph to read ``In instituting this investigation, the Commission has not made any determination as to the scope of 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)(B)(ii) or whether 337(a)(1)(B)(ii) is sufficiently broad as to encompass such processes.''
