SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on July 20, 2018, based on a complaint, as supplemented, filed on 
behalf of Walbro, LLC of Tucson, Arizona (``Complainant''). 83 FR 
34,614 (July 20, 2018). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges 
violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 
U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based upon the importation into the 
United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United 
States after importation of certain carburetors and products containing 
such carburetors by reason of infringement of one or more of U.S. 
Patent Nos. 6,394,424; 6,439,547; 6,533,254; 6,540,212; and 7,070,173. 
The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States 
exists as required by section 337. The notice of investigation named 
numerous respondents, including Huayi Carburetor Factory of Chongqinq, 
China, Cabela's Incorporated of Sidney, Nebraska, and Techtronics 
Industries Co. Ltd of Hong Kong d/b/a Techtronic Industries Power 
Equipment of Hong Kong. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations 
(``OUII'') was named as a party in this investigation.
    On March 14, 2019, Complainant filed an unopposed motion to amend 
the complaint and Notice of Investigate to: (1) Substitute ``Huayi 
Mechanical and Electrical Co., Ltd.'' for originally named respondent 
``Huayi Carburetor Factory,'' and update the address accordingly to 
``No.32, Xinghuo Industrial Zone, Fuding City, Fujian Province 355200, 
P.R. China''; (2) correct the corporate name of respondent ``Cabela's 
Incorporated'' to ``Cabela's LLC''; (3) substitute ``Techtronic 
Industries (Dongguan) Co. Ltd.'' for named respondent ``Techtronics 
Industries Co. Ltd of Hong Kong d/b/a Techtronic Industries Power 
Equipment;'' and (4) update contact information for Complainant's 
counsel. On March 25, 2019, OUII filed a response supporting the motion 
in-part.
    On April 25, 2019, the ALJ issued Order No. 50. Order No. 50 finds 
that ``good cause exists for amending the complaint to change the names 
of Cabela's Incorporated and to substitute Respondents Huayi Mechanical 
and Electrical Co. Ltd. and Techtronic Industries (Dongguan) Co. Ltd. 
for Respondents Huayi Carburetor Factory, and Techtronic Industries Co. 
Ltd. of Hong Kong d/b/a Techtronic Industries Power Equipment.'' Order 
No. 50 at 2. The ALJ further finds that ``amending the Complaint and 
Notice of Investigation to reflect the proper names of the Respondents 
will aid in the development of the Investigation and is necessary to 
avoid prejudicing the public interest and rights of the parties to the 
Investigation.'' Id. However, the ALJ declined to grant the motion with 
respect to Complainant's request to change counsel's address as that 
change

is made normally through a notice of appearance. Id. No party 
petitioned for review.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The notice of 
investigation and complaint are amended.
    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: May 20, 2019.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
