SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 21, 2005, the Commission instituted 
an investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 
1337, based on a complaint filed by Broadcom Corporation of Irvine, 
California, alleging a violation of section 337 in the importation, 
sale for importation, and sale within the United States after 
importation of certain baseband processor chips and chipsets, 
transmitter and receiver (radio) chips, power control chips, and 
products containing same, including cellular telephone handsets by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,374,311; 
6,714,983; 5,682,379 (``the '379 patent''); 6,359,872 (``the '872 
patent''); and 6,583,675. 70 FR 35707 (June 21, 2005). The complainant 
named Qualcomm Incorporated of San Diego, California as the only 
respondent. The '379 patent and '872 patent were terminated from this 
investigation.
    On October 19, 2006, the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') issued an Initial Determination on Violation of Section 337 
and Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bond (``ID''), finding a 
violation of section 337. On December 8, 2006, the Commission issued a 
notice of its decision to review and modify in part the ALJ's final ID. 
The Commission also requested the parties to the investigation, 
interested government agencies, and any other interested

persons to file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public 
interest, and bonding.
    On December 11, 2006, the ALJ announced that the public version of 
the ID will not be available before December 21, 2006. On December 20, 
the Commission determined to extend by fourteen (14) days the then-
existing deadlines for filing the opening and reply submissions on the 
issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. The respective 
deadlines were set as follows: (1) Written submissions and proposed 
remedial orders on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and 
bonding were due no later than close of business on January 5, 2007, 
and (2) respective reply submissions were due no later than the close 
of business on January 17, 2007. The Commission also determined to 
extend the target date for completion of this investigation by fourteen 
(14) days to February 23, 2007.
    On January 3, 2007, the ALJ's office indicated that the public 
version of the ID at issue will not be available before Monday, January 
8, 2007. Accordingly, the Commission has determined to extend by ten 
(10) days after issuance of the public version of the final ID the 
existing deadline for filing the opening submissions on the issues of 
remedy, the public interest, and bonding. The Commission has also 
determined to extend the existing deadline for filing the respective 
reply submissions, and the existing target date for completion of this 
investigation. Thus, the respective deadlines are as follows: (1) 
Written opening submissions and proposed remedial orders on the issues 
of remedy, the public interest, and bonding must be filed no later than 
close of business on January 18, 2007, and (2) respective reply 
submissions must be filed no later than the close of business on 
January 25, 2007. The Commission has also determined to extend the 
target date for completion of this investigation by thirteen (13) days 
to March 8, 2007.
    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 section 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.42(h)).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 4, 2007.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
