SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this enforcement 
proceeding, based on a complaint filed by INEOS Fluor Holdings Ltd., 
INEOS Fluor Ltd., and INEOS Fluor Americas LLC (``INEOS''). The 
complaint alleged that respondent Sinochem Environmental Protection 
Chemicals (Taicang) Co. Ltd. (``Sinochem (Taicang)'') violated the 
Commission's September 11, 2008 Consent Order. The Commission referred 
the proceeding to the Chief ALJ, who held a prehearing conference and 
evidentiary hearing on June 22, 2009 with all parties participating.
    On September 21, 2009, the ALJ issued the subject EID, finding that 
respondent Sinochem (Taicang) did not violate the Consent Order. On 
October 6, 2009, INEOS filed a petition for review challenging the 
ALJ's conclusion. On October 13, 2009, respondent Sinochem (Taicang) 
and the Commission investigative attorney each filed oppositions to 
INEOS's petition.
    The Commission has determined not to review the EID.
    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 sections 210.42-46 and 210.75 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42-46 & 210.75).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued November 23, 2009.
William R. Bishop,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
