FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrea C. Casson, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, 
Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-3105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this formal 
enforcement proceeding on January 10, 1994. 59 Fed. Reg. 3123-27 (Jan. 
20, 1994). The enforcement proceeding complaint was filed by the 
Commission's Office of Unfair Import Investigations (OUII), and alleges 
violations of the Commission cease and desist order and modified cease 
and desist order issued in the underlying investigation against 
respondent Analog Devices, Inc. (Analog). The complaint sought 
appropriate sanctions for these alleged violations. The parties to the 
enforcement proceeding were OUII, represented by its investigative 
attorneys (IAs); enforcement proceeding respondent Analog; and Texas 
Instruments, Inc. (TI), the complainant in the underlying 
investigation.
    On April 24, 1995, Analog filed a motion with the ALJ to terminate 
the enforcement proceedings based upon a settlement it had reached with 
TI. The IAs filed a response opposing the motion to terminate. The ALJ 
issued a recommended determination (RD) granted the motion to 
terminate, and the IAs petitioned the Commission for review of the RD. 
Analog opposed the petition.
    On April 26, 1995, TI moved to terminate itself as a party to the 
enforcement proceeding in light of the settlement it had reached with 
Analog. Neither Analog nor the IAs opposed TI's motion. The ALJ issued 
an RD granting TI's motion. No party sought review of that RD.
    The Commission adopted both Rds. However, it will refer to the 
Department of Justice the allegations by the IAs that Analog willfully 
submitted false and misleading reporting violations. See 18 U.S.C. 
Sec. 1001.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, and section 210.53 of the 
Commission's Interim Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 C.F.R. 
Sec. 211.56 (1994).
    Copies of the Commission Order and nonconfidential versions of the 
RDs and all other nonconfidential documents filed in connection with 
this enforcement proceeding 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 Street SW, 
Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-2000. Hearing-impaired 
persons are advised that information on this matter can be obtained by 
contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: September 11, 1996.

Secretary.
