SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on December 7, 2011, based on a complaint filed by ChriMar Systems, 
Inc. d/b/a DMS Technologies (``ChriMar'') of Farmington Hills, 
Michigan, alleging a violation of section 337 in the importation into 
the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the 
United States after importation of certain communication equipment, 
components thereof, and products containing the same, including power 
over ethernet telephones, switches, wireless access points, routers and 
other devices used in LANs, and cameras. 76 FR 76,436-37 (Dec. 7, 
2011). The complaint alleges infringement of certain claims of U.S. 
Patent No. 7,457,250 (``the '250 patent''). The first amended complaint 
further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as 
required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The Notice of 
Investigation names a plurality of respondents.
    On May 14, 2012, the ALJ issued an ID granting ChriMar's motion to 
amend the complaint and Notice of Investigation. Order No. 10 at 7. 
ChriMar sought to add additional facts to the complaint and to amend 
the Notice of Investigation to add the underlined portion of the 
following language: ``whether an industry in the United States exists 
or is in the process of being established as required by 
subsection(a)(2) of section 337.'' Id. at 1, 3, 7. The ALJ found that 
there is good

cause to amend the complaint and Notice of Investigation. Id. at 7. No 
petitions for review were filed. The Commission has determined not to 
review the ID.

Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in section 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.42(h)).

    By order of the Commission.
