SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 29, 2014, based on a complaint filed by Advanced Research 
Corporation of White Bear Lake, Minnesota (``ARC''). 79 FR 58382 (Sept. 
29, 2014). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based upon the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain formatted 
magnetic data storage tapes and cartridges containing the same, by 
reason of infringement of five U.S. patents. The original notice of 
investigation named as respondents International Business Machines 
Corp. of Armonk, NY; Fujifilm Holdings Corporation of Tokyo, Japan; 
Fujifilm Corporation of Tokyo, Japan; and Oracle Corporation of Redwood 
Shores, California. Id. at 58383. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is participating in the investigation. Id.
    On November 18, 2014, ARC filed an unopposed motion to amend the 
complaint and notice of investigation to add as respondents Oracle 
America, Inc., of Redwood Shores, California, and Fujifilm Recording 
Media USA, Inc., of Bedford, Massachusetts.
    On December 1, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 7) 
granting the motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation. 
The ALJ found good cause for the amendment because ARC very recently 
learned of the additional respondents through discovery, the amendment 
would not delay the investigation, and the amendment would not 
prejudice the current parties to the investigation. No petitions for 
review of the ID were filed.
    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 part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.
    Issued: December 24, 2014.
Jennifer Rohrbach,
Supervisory Attorney.
