SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 21, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Hitachi Metals, 
Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan and Hitachi Metals North Carolina, Ltd. of China 
Grove, North Carolina (collectively, ``Hitachi Metals''). 77 FR 58578 
(Sept. 21, 2012). The complaint alleged 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 sintered rare earth 
magnets, methods of making same and products containing same by reason 
of infringement of certain claims of United States Patent Nos. 
6,461,565; 6,491,765; 6,527,874; and 6,537,385. The notice of 
investigation named several entities as respondents but only Beat, 
Bosch, and Callaway remain in the investigation.
    On June 4, 2013, Hitachi Metals filed an unopposed motion to 
terminate the investigation as to respondents Beat, Bosch, and 
Callaway. Because Beat, Bosch, and Callaway are the only remaining 
respondents in the investigation, Hitachi Metals also moved for 
termination of the investigation in its entirety. On June 5, 2013, the 
Commission investigative attorney filed a response in support of the 
motion. No other responses to the motion were filed.
    On June 13, 2013, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion and terminating the investigation in its entirety. The ALJ found 
that the motion complied with the requirements of Commission Rule 
210.21(a) (19 CFR 210.21(a)) and that no extraordinary circumstances 
prohibited granting the motion. None of the parties petitioned for 
review of the ID.
    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).

    Issued: July 12, 2013.
    By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
