Tecnologia de Iluminacion Automotriz S.A. de C.V. filed a joint motion 
to terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon a settlement 
agreement and to stay the investigation.
    On November 13, 2012, the ALJ issued Order No. 30, granting the 
motion to terminate the investigation and denying as moot the motion to 
stay the investigation. The ALJ found that termination of the 
investigation in its entirety does not impose any undue burdens on the 
public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United States 
economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the 
United States, and United States consumers. No petitions for review 
were filed.
    Only that part of the order granting the motion to terminate the 
investigation constitutes an ID. Having considered the ID and the 
relevant portions of the record, the Commission has determined not to 
review the subject ID.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and of section 
210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
210.42(h)).

    Issued: December 13, 2012.

    By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
