ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined to extend by forty (40) days, or until 
December 6, 2000, the deadline for determining whether to review an 
initial determination (ID) (Order No. 16) issued by the presiding 
administrative law judge (ALJ) in the above-captioned investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean Jackson, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street,

persons are advised that information on this matter can be obtained by 
contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. General

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 26, 2000, based on a complaint filed by Medrad, Inc. of 
Indianola, Pennsylvania. The complaint alleged a violation of section 
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 337 U.S.C. 1337, based on infringement 
of U.S. Letters Patent Re. 36,648, (the '648 patent) owned by 
complainant. The respondents named in the investigation are Nemoto 
Kyorindo Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan; Liebel-Flarshiem Co. of Cincinnati 
Ohio; and Mallinckrodt Inc., a New York corporation based in Hazelwood, 
Mo. 65 Fed. Reg. 34231. On September 26, 2000, the ALJ issued an ID 
finding the '648 patent invalid due to certain omissions that occurred 
during patent reissue proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark 
Office.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and section 210.42(h)(3) of the 
Commission of Practice and Procedure, 19 C.F.R. 210.42(h)(3).
