INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Inv. No. 337-TA-445]


In the Matter of Certain Plasma Display Panels and Products 
Containing Same; Notice of Decision to Extend the Deadline for 
Determining Whether To Review an Initial Determination Granting-in-Part 
a Motion To Declassify Certain Documents

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined to extend by forty-five (45) days, or until 
November 2, 2001, the deadline for determining whether to review an 
initial determination (ID) (Order No. 30) 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, 
S.W., Washington, D.C. 20436, telephone 202-205-3104. Copies of all 
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 S.W., Washington, D.C. 
20436, telephone 202-205-2000. General information concerning the 
Commission may also be obtained by accessing its Internet server 
(http://www.usitc.gov). The public record for this investigation may be 
viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS-ON-LINE) at http://dockets.usitc.gov/eol.public. Hearing-impaired persons are advised that 
information on the matter can be obtained by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on January 16, 2001, based on a complaint filed by the Board of 
Trustees of the University of Illinois of Urbana, Illinois, and 
Competitive Technologies of Fairfield, Connecticut. The respondents 
named in the investigation are Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu General 
Limited, Fujitsu General America Corp., Fujitsu Microelectronic, Inc. 
and Fujitsu Hitachi Plasma Display Ltd. (collectively, ``Fujitsu''). 
The complaint, now withdrawn, alleged that Fujitsu violated section 337 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 by importing into the United States, selling 
for importation, and/or selling within the United States after 
importation certain plasma display panels and products containing same 
by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Letters Patent Nos. 
4,866,349 and 5,0821,400.
    On June 26, 2001, complainant moved to withdraw its complaint and 
terminate the investigation. On July 10, 2001, the presiding ALJ issued 
an ID granting the motion and terminating the investigation. The 
Commission decided not to review this ID on July 31, 2001, and it 
therefore became the Commission's final determination under Commission 
rule 210.42, 19 CFR 210.42. 66 FR 40722 (August 3, 2001).
    On July 3, 2001, Fujitsu moved pursuant to Commission rule 210.20, 
19 CFR 210.20, and paragraphs 2(b) and 3 of the protective order issued 
in this investigation for an order declassifying two documents. 
Complainant opposed the motion. The Commission investigative attorney 
supported the motion as to one document and opposed as to the other. On 
August 17, 2001, the presiding ALJ issued an ID granting the motion to 
declassify one document. He denied the motion to declassify the other 
document at issue. Complainant filed a petition for review of the ID on 
August 30, 2001.
