SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on August 27, 2009, based on a complaint filed by BTG International, 
Inc. of West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania (``BTG''). 74 FR. 43723-4 
(August 27, 2009). The complaint, as amended and supplemented, 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 power supplies by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent Nos. 5,394,362; 5,764,571; 5,872,735, 6,104,640; and 
6,118,692. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic 
industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named various 
respondents, including Lenovo Group Limited of Quany Bay, Hong Kong 
(``Lenovo Group'').
    On October 21, 2009, BTG and respondent Lenovo Group filed a joint 
motion to amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation to replace 
Lenovo Group with Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd (``LSPL''). The motion 
indicated that the Commission investigative attorney did not oppose the 
motion. No responses to the motion were filed.
    On November 5, 2009, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
motion, finding that, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b)(1) (19 
C.F.R. **210.14(b)(1)), there was good cause to substitute LSPL for 
Lenovo Group as a respondent. 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 23, 2009.
William R. Bishop,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
