SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 31, 2008, based on a complaint filed by General Electric 
Company (``GE''). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of 
the Tariff Act of 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 variable speed wind turbines and 
components thereof that allegedly infringe certain claims of United 
States Patent Nos. 5,083,039 and 6,921,985. The complaint named 
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy 
Industries of America, Inc. of New York, New York, and Mitsubishi Power 
Systems, Inc. of Lake Mary, Florida.
    On September 16, 2007, GE filed a motion to amend the complaint and 
notice of investigation to correct two clerical errors: (1) An 
incorrect figure expressed in Confidential Exhibit 30, and (2) a 
respondent identified by a former name rather than its current name. 
The motion was not opposed.
    On June 18, 2008, the ALJ granted GE's motion, finding that, it is 
in the best interest of the parties and the public interest for the 
complaint and notice of investigation to be corrected. No petitions for 
review of this ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ALJ's ID.
    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 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.
