INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337-TA-334]


Certain Condensers, Parts Thereof and Products Containing Same, 
Including Air Conditioners for Automobiles; Notice of Rescission of 
Limited Exclusion Order

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has rescinded the limited exclusion order previously issued 
in the above-captioned investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donnette Rimmer, Office of the General 
Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-0663.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The authority for the Commission's action is 
contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 
U.S.C. 1337), and in section 210.76 of the Commission's rules of 
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.76).
    On August 20, 1997, the Commission issued a limited exclusion order 
in the investigation based upon a finding that respondents Showa 
Aluminum Corporation and Showa Aluminum Corporation of America 
(collectively ``Showa'') had violated section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), by importing certain condensers that 
infringed claims 9 and 10 of U.S. Letters Patent assigned to Modine.
    On September 7, 2000, Showa and complainant Modine Manufacturing 
Company (``Modine'') filed a joint petition to rescind the remedial 
order under Commission rule 210.76 on the basis of a settlement 
agreement they had reached. Showa and Modine asserted that their 
settlement agreement constituted ``changed conditions of fact or law'' 
sufficient to justify recission of the order under Commission rule 
210.76(a), 19 CFR 210.76(a).
    Having reviewed the parties' submissions, the Commission determined 
that the petition and settlement agreement satisfy the requirements of 
rule 210.76(a). The Commission therefore issued an order rescinding the 
limited exclusion order previously issued in the investigation.
    Copies of the Commission's order 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., DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-2000. 
Public documents are available for downloading from the Commission's 
internet server (http://www.usitc.gov). Hearing impaired persons are 
advised that information on this matter can be obtained by contacting 
the Commission's TDD terminal at (202) 205-1810.

    Issued: October 10, 2000.

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