Certain Semiconductor Memory Devices and Products Containing

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined to extend the target date for completion of 
the above-captioned investigation by 45 days, or until May 11, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clara Kuehn, Office of the General 
Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, 
Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-3012. Hearing-impaired 
persons are advised that information on this matter can be obtained by 
contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. General 
information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing 
its Internet server (http://www.usitc.gov).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission ordered the institution of 
this investigation on September 18, 1998, based on a complaint filed on 
behalf of Micron Technology, Inc., 8000 South Federal Way, Boise, Idaho 
83707-0006 (``complainant'').
    The notice of investigation was published in the Federal Register 
on September 25, 1998. 63 FR 51372 (1998).
    The presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) issued his final 
initial determination (ID) on November 29, 1999, concluding that there 
was no violation of section 337. He found that: (a) Complainant failed 
to establish the requisite domestic industry showing for any of the 
three patents at issue; (b) all asserted claims of the patents are 
invalid; (c) none of the asserted claims of the patents are infringed; 
and (d) all of the patents are unenforceable for inequitable conduct. 
On February 1, 2000, the Commission determined to review the final ID 
in its entirety, and

also determined to review two procedural issues. The notice of the 
Commission decision to review the final ID was published in the Federal 
Register on February 7, 2000. 65 FR 5890 (2000).
    The previous target date for completion of this investigation was 
March 27, 2000. The Commission determined that the target date should 
be extended until May 11, 2000, due to the number and complexity of the 
issues under review.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in Sec. 210.51(a) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.51(a)).
    Copies of the public version of the ALJ's 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 Street, SW, Washington, DC 20436, 
telephone 202-205-2000.

    Issued: February 28, 2000.

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