SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on 
September 18, 2008, based on a complaint filed by Freescale 
Semiconductor, Inc., of Austin, Texas (``Freescale''). 73 FR 54164 
(September 18, 2008). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 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 integrated 
circuits or products containing the same that infringe one or more of 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,467,455; 5,776,798; and 6,473,349. The 
complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The 
Commission's notice of investigation named LSI Corporation of Milpitas, 
California (``LSI''), as the sole respondent.
    On October 27, 2008, Freescale and LSI jointly moved to terminate 
the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. On November 
6, 2008, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response 
supporting the motion.
    On November 10, 2008, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
joint motion to terminate the investigation based on the settlement 
agreement. The ALJ found that the motion complied with the requirements 
of Commission Rule 210.21 (19 CFR 210.21). The ALJ also concluded that, 
pursuant to Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2) (19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)), there 
is no evidence that termination of this investigation will prejudice 
the public interest. No petitions for review of this ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the 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.

    Issued: November 29, 2008.
William R. Bishop,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
