Tecnologia de Iluminacion Automotriz S.A. de C.V. filed a joint motion
to terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon a settlement
agreement and to stay the investigation.
On November 13, 2012, the ALJ issued Order No. 30, granting the
motion to terminate the investigation and denying as moot the motion to
stay the investigation. The ALJ found that termination of the
investigation in its entirety does 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, and United States consumers. No petitions for review
were filed.
Only that part of the order granting the motion to terminate the
investigation constitutes an ID. Having considered the ID and the
relevant portions of the record, the Commission has determined not to
review the subject ID.
This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and of section
210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
210.42(h)).
Issued: December 13, 2012.
By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
