Notice of Decision Not To Review an Initial Determination Granting a 
Motion for Summary Determination That the Economic Tests for 
Establishing a Domestic Industry Are Met

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination (ID) 
(Order No. 9) issued on October 10, 1994, by the presiding 
administrative law judge (ALJ) in the above-captioned investigation. 
The ID granted a motion of complainant Minnesota Mining and 
Manufacturing (3M) for summary determination that the economic tests 
for establishing a domestic industry in this investigation are met.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Yaworski, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, 
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-3096.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this 
investigation, which concerns allegations of section 337 violations in 
the importation, the sale for importation, and the sale within the 
United States after importation of certain microsphere adhesives, and 
products containing same, including self-stick repositionable notes, 
said to infringe eight claims of U.S. Letters Patent 4,166,152, on June 
8, 1994 (59 FR 29620).
    On August 22, 1994, 3M filed a motion that, inter alia, requested 
summary determination that the economic tests for establishing a 
domestic industry set forth in section 337(a)(3) (19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)) 
are met in this investigation. That request was opposed by the 
respondents to the investigation and supported by the Commission 
investigative attorney.
    On October 10, 1994, the presiding ALJ issued an ID granting 
summary determination that the economic tests for establishing a 
domestic industry are met. There were no petitions for review of the ID 
and no agency comments were filed.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission interim rule 210.53, 
19 C.F.R. 210.53.
    Copies of the ID and all other nonconfidential documents filed in 
connection with this investigation are or will be available for 
inspection during official business hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in 
the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E
