1930 (19 U.S.C. **1337) in the importation into the United States, the 
sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain ground fault interrupters and products 
containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S.

complaint and the notice of investigation (1) to remove respondent 
Lunar Industrial & Electrical, Inc. from the investigation; (2) to add 
U.S. Patent 7,283,340 to the investigation; (3) to make changes 
relating to the names, addresses, and affiliations of certain 
respondents; and (4) to amend information relating to Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule item numbers. Respondent Wenzhou Trimone Science and 
Technology Electric Co. filed a response in opposition to the motion. 
The Commission investigative attorney did not oppose the motion.
    On December 6, 2007, finding good cause to amend the complaint and 
notice of investigation, the ALJ granted the motion by ID. No petitions 
for review were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the 
subject ID.

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in sections 210.14 and 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.14, 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.
