SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on April 28, 2006, based on a complaint filed by Cabot Microelectronics 
Corporation of Aurora, Illinois. A supplement to the complaint was 
filed on April 13, 2006. The complaint alleges violations of section 
337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain chemical mechanical planarization slurries and precursors to 
same by reason of infringement of claims 20, 22, 38, and 48 of U.S. 
Patent No. 5,958,288; claims 11, 18-19, and 25 of the U.S. Patent No. 
5,980,773; and claims 8, 12, and 17 of U.S. Patent No. 6,068,787. The 
complaint named the respondent as Cheil Industries Inc. of Korea. The 
complaint further alleged that an industry in the United States exists 
as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
    On May 19, 2006, the only respondent filed a motion for termination 
of the investigation on the basis of a consent order. The Commission 
investigative attorney filed a response in support of the motion on May 
31, 2006.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID on June 7, 2006, granting the motion 
for termination. No party petitioned for review of the ID pursuant to 
19 CFR 210.43(a), and the Commission found no basis for ordering a 
review on its own initiative pursuant to 19 CFR 210.44.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in sections 210.21(c) and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure.

    Issued: June 23, 2006.

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