procedure, 19 CFR Sec. 210.10 (2002).
    Scope of Investigation: Having considered the complaint, the U.S. 
International Trade Commission, on August 7, 2002, ordered that--
    (1) Pursuant to subsection (b) of section 337 of the Tariff Act of

sale within the United States after importation, of certain radios or 
components thereof by reason of infringement of U.S. Trademark 
Registration No. 2,299,158, and whether an industry in the United 
States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
    (2) For the purpose of the investigation so instituted, the 
following are hereby named as parties upon which this notice of 
investigation shall be served:
    (a) The complainant is--Bose Corporation, The Mountain, Framingham, 
Massachusetts 01701.
    (b) The respondent is the following company alleged to be in 
violation of section 337, and is the party upon which the complaint is 
to be served: Sun Coast Merchandise Corporation, 6315 Bandini Blvd.,

    (c) David H. Hollander, Jr., Esq., Office of Unfair Import

of investigation. An extension of time for submitting a response to the 
complaint will not be granted unless good cause therefor is shown.
    Failure of the respondent to file a timely response to each 
allegation in the complaint and in this notice may be deemed to 
constitute a waiver of the right to appear and contest the allegations 
of the complaint and to authorize the administrative law judge and the 
Commission, without further notice to the respondent, to find the facts 
to be as alleged in the complaint and this notice and to enter both an 
initial determination and a final determination containing such 
findings, and may result in the issuance of a limited exclusion order 
or a cease and desist order or both directed against the respondent.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: August 9, 2002.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary.
