SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 5, 2001, the Commission 
determined not to review a final initial determination finding that 
respondent Altima Communications, Inc. (``Altima'') violated section 
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the unlawful importation and sale of 
certain integrated repeaters covered by various claims of U.S. Patent 
No. 5,894,410 and U.S. Patent No. 5,742,603, owned by complainant Intel 
Corporation (``Intel''). On October 24, 2001, the Commission issued a 
limited exclusion order excluding from entry for consumption into the 
United States the infringing articles. The President did not disapprove 
the Commission's determination. See 19 U.S.C. 1337(j)(4).
    On August 14, 2003, Intel filed with the Commission a Petition for 
Rescission of Exclusion Order based on a settlement agreement between 
Intel and Broadcom Corporation (``Broadcom''), Altima's parent. On 
August 19, 2003, Altima and Broadcom filed a response, stating that 
they join in the petition and request rescission. No party opposed the 
petition. The Commission found that the requirements of Commission 
rules 210.76(a)(1) and 210.76(a)(2), 19 CFR 210.76(a)(1) and (a)(2), 
were satisfied, and determined to grant the petition for rescission.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337(k), and section 210.76(a) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.76(a).

    Issued: August 21, 2003.
