Inc. (``STI''), of Reno, Nevada. 81 FR 1441-42. The complaint alleges 
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 rack mountable power distribution units through the 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,162,521; 
7,400,493; 7,414,329; 7,447,002; 7,567,430; 7,706,134; 8,541,907; 
8,601,291; and 8,694,272. Id. at 1441. The Commission's notice of 
investigation named as respondents Raritan Americas, Inc., of Somerset, 
New Jersey; Legrand North America, of West Hartford, Connecticut; and 
Legrand SA of Limoges Cedex, France (collectively, ``Respondents''). 
Id. at 1442. The Office of Unfair Import Investigation was not named as 
a party to the investigation. Id.
    On January 8, 2016, STI filed an unopposed motion to terminate the 
investigation based on a settlement agreement. No party responded to 
the motion.
    On January 12, 2016, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion. The ALJ found that STI attached the settlement agreement, and 
stated that there were no other agreements between STI and Respondents 
concerning the subject matter of the investigation. The ALJ also found 
that there is no indication that terminating the investigation based on 
settlement would harm the public interest. No party petitioned for 
review of the subject ID.
    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: February 3, 2016.
Lisa R. Barton,
