SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, on March 
29, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Neology, Inc. of Poway, 
California (``Neology''). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a 
violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent Nos. 7,081,819; 7,671,746; and 6,690,264. 78 FR 19311 (Mar. 
29, 2013). The respondents are Federal Signal Corporation of Oakbrook, 
Illinois; Federal Signal Technologies, LLC of Irvine, California (now 
known as FS Sub, LLC); Sirit Corp. of Irvine, California (now known as 
Federal Signal of Texas Corp.); and 3M Company of St. Paul, Minnesota 
(collectively, ``Respondents.'') Id.
    On June 17, 2013, complainant Neology and Respondents filed a joint 
motion to terminate this investigation in its entirety based on a 
settlement agreement and requested the procedural schedule in this 
investigation be stayed. On June 18, 2013, the Commission's 
investigative attorney filed a response supporting the motion.
    On June 19, 2013, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 8) granting the 
motion to terminate (and denying the request to stay the investigation 
as moot). The ALJ found that termination of this investigation did 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, or United States 
consumers. No party petitioned for review. The Commission has 
determined not to review the ID. The investigation has been 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 210.42--210.46 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.42-210.46).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 16, 2013.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
