SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 13, 1998, based on a complaint filed by Oak Technology, Inc. 
(``Oak'') of Sunnyvale, California. 63 Fed. Reg. 26625. Four firms were 
named as respondents, including United Microelectronics Corporation 
(``UMC'') of Hsinchu, Taiwan. On May 10, 1999, the presiding ALJ issued 
an ID (Order No. 15) terminating UMC from the investigation on the 
grounds that its importation and sale of accused CD-ROM controllers are 
licensed by complainant Oak. On May 12, 1999, the ALJ issued his final 
ID in which he found that there is no violation of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 in the instant investigation. The Commission has 
extended the deadline for determining whether to review Order No. 15 to 
coincide with the deadline (June 28, 1999) for determining whether to 
review the ALJ's final ID.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, and section 210.42(h)(3) of 
the Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 C.F.R. 
Sec. 210.42(h)(3).

ID, and all other documents filed in connection with this investigation
