Following receipt of a letter on March 13, 2008, from the United States Trade Representative (USTR) advising of the withdrawal of petitions requesting the waiver of the competitive need limit for the following two articles under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program, the Commission has terminated its investigation with respect to those two articles and will not provide probable economic effect advice with respect to those articles:

Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission on February 27, 2008, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, on behalf of General Electric Company of Fairfield, Connecticut. The complaint alleges violations 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 variable speed wind turbines and components thereof that infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,083,039 and 6,921,985. The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation and, after the investigation, issue a permanent exclusion order and cease and desist orders.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (``Commission'') hereby gives notice of the court-ordered remand of its final determinations in the antidumping investigation Nos.731-TA-1092-1093 concerning diamond sawblades and parts thereof from China and Korea.
