SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission ordered the institution of

Rambus Inc. of Mountain View, California. The notice of investigation 
was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 
21790 (2000). The complaint named four respondents: Hitachi, Ltd. of 
Tokyo, Japan; Hitachi Semiconductor (America), Inc., of San Jose, 
California (collectively, ``Hitachi''); Sega Enterprises, Ltd., of 
Tokyo, Japan; and Sega of America, Inc., of San Francisco, California 
(collectively, ``Sega'').
    On June 29, 2000, complainant Rambus and the Hitachi respondents 
filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation by settlement. Also 
on June 29, 2000, complainant Rambus filed a motion to withdraw the 
complaint and terminate the investigation as to the Sega respondents. 
On July 10, 2000, the Commission investigation attorney filed responses 
in support of each motion. The Sega respondents filed no response to 
either motion. On July 12, 2000, the presiding ALJ issued an ID (Order 
No. 11) granting both motions. No party petitioned for review of the 
ID.
