SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. Sec.  1337, in the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain mobile 
telephones and modems by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent Nos. 6,311,092; 5,907,604; 6,263,205; 6,507,611; 6,674,464; 
7,839,477; and 6,674,732. The complaint further alleges the existence 
of a domestic industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named 
the following respondents: LG Electronics, Inc. of South Korea; LG 
Electronics USA, Inc. of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey; and LG 
Electronics Mobilecomm USA, Inc. of San Diego, California.
    On February 28, 2011, the Commission issued notice of its 
determination not to review the ALJ's ID setting a target date of 
August 2, 2012, for completion of the investigation.
    On August 10, 2011, complainant and respondents jointly moved to 
terminate the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. The 
Office of Unfair Import Investigations did not participate in this 
investigation.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 17) on August 11, 2011, 
granting the motion for termination. He found that the motion for 
termination satisfies Commission rule 210.21(b). He further found, 
pursuant to Commission rule 210.50(b)(2), that termination of this 
investigation by settlement agreement is in the public interest. No 
party petitioned for review of the ID. The Commission has determined 
not to review the ID, and the investigation is terminated.
    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 210.21 and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.21, 210.42(h).

    By order of the Commission.
