SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 26, 2003, based on a complaint filed by Speedline 
Technologies, Inc. (``Speedline'') against EKRA America, Inc., and EKRA 
Eduard Kraft GmbH (collectively, ``EKRA''). The complaint alleged 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation 
into the United States, sale for importation, and/or sale within the 
United States after importation of certain screen printing machines, 
vision alignment devices used therein, and component parts thereof by

5,060,063. 68 FR 8924 (Feb. 26, 2003).
    On June 27, 2003, complainant Speedline and respondents EKRA filed 
a joint motion to terminate the investigation based upon a settlement 
agreement. On July 9, 2003, the Commission investigative attorney filed 
a response supporting the joint motion. On July 10, 2003, the presiding 
ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 10) granting the joint motion. No party 
petitioned for review of the ID.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) and Sec.  210.42 of the 
Commission's rules of practice and procedure (19 CFR 210.42).

    Issued: July 28, 2003.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
 Secretary to Commission.
