the Complaint and the Notice of Investigation

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 9) issued by the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') on May 29, 2014, granting the complainant's unopposed motion 
to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to change the name 
of a respondent.

Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on April 14, 2014, based on a complaint filed by FMC Corporation 
(``FMC''). 79 FR 20907-08. The complaint alleges violations of section 
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 
337''), in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain sulfentrazone, sulfentrazone compositions, and processes for 
making sulfentrazone, by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent No. 7,169,952. Id. at 20907. The Commission's notice of 
investigation named as respondents Beijing Nutrichem Science and 
Technology Stock Co., Ltd., of Beijing, China; Summit Agro USA, LLC, of 
Cary, North Carolina; Summit Agro North America Holding Corporation of 
New York, New York; and Jiangxi Heyi Chemicals Co. Ltd. of Jiujiang 
City, China. Id. at 20908.
    On May 23, 2014, FMC filed an unopposed motion to amend the 
complaint and the notice of investigation to change the name of 
respondent Beijing Nutrichem Science and Technology Stock Co., Ltd., to 
Nutrichem Co., Ltd. FMC states that Beijing Nutrichem Science and 
Technology Stock Co., Ltd. is the literal English translation of the 
company's Chinese name, but that the company's recent response to the 
complaint explained that the company's proper English-language name is 
Nutrichem Co., Ltd. FMC contends that good cause exists to amend the 
complaint because Nutrichem Co., Ltd. received proper notice of the 
proceedings, and that such amendment is in the public interest because 
the name correction will prevent confusion should any remedy be granted 
in this investigation.
    On May 29, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting FMC's 
motion to amend the complaint and the notice of investigation. The ALJ 
found good cause for granting the motion because the amendment will 
prevent confusion, and, prejudice, if any, will be minimal. No 
petitions for review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject 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 part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 23, 2014.
Jennifer D. Rohrbach,
Supervisory Attorney.
