INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337-TA-384]


Certain Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Downconverters 
and Products Containing the Same, Including Low Noise Block 
Downconverters; Notice of Commission Decision Not to Review an Initial 
Determination Terminating the Investigation on the Basis of a 
Settlement Agreement

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has decided not to review the presiding administrative law 
judge's (ALJ's) initial determination (ID) terminating the above-
captioned investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
P. N. Smithey, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, U.S. International 
Trade Commission, telephone 202-205-3061. Hearing-impaired individuals 
can obtain information concerning this matter by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal at 202-205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 7, 1996, Anadigics Inc. filed a 
complaint with the Commission alleging violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 USC 1337) in the importation into the United 
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain monolithic microwave integrated circuit 
downconverters and products containing the same, including low noise 
block downconverters, that allegedly infringe certain U.S. Registered 
Mask Works. The investigation was instituted March 14, 1995. Four firms 
were named as respondents: Raytheon Company; New Japan Radio Co., Ltd.; 
Nichimen Corp.; and Nichimen America Inc. See 61 FR 10595 (Mar. 14, 
1996).
    On July 9, 1996, the complainant and the respondents filed a joint 
motion for termination of the investigation on the basis of a 
settlement agreement (Motion No. 384-5). The Commission investigative 
attorney filed a response supporting the motion, on July 15, 1996.
    On July 19, 1996, the ALJ issued the ID (Order No. 10) granting the 
motion. No other Federal agency commented on the ID, and no party filed 
a petition for review. The Commission decided that a self-initiated 
review of the ID under 19 CFR 210.44 was not warranted. In light of 
that decision, the ID became the Commission's determination effective 
August 20, 1996. See 19 CFR 210.42(h)(3). This action was taken under 
the authority of 19 USC 1337(c) and 19 CFR 210.21(b).
    All public documents that were filed in the investigation--
including nonconfidential copies of the ID, the joint motion for 
termination, the settlement agreement, and the Commission investigative 
attorney's response to the joint motion--are or will be made available 
for public inspection, upon request, during official business hours 
(8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Commission's Office of the Secretary, 
Dockets Branch, 500 E Street, SW., Room 112, Washington, D.C. 20436, 
telephone 202-205-1802.

    Issued: August 23, 1996.

    By Order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
