SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on August 29, 2013, based on a complaint filed by The Clorox Company of 
Oakland, California (``Clorox''). 78 FR 53479 (Aug. 29, 2013). The 
complaint alleged 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 laundry and household cleaning products and 
packaging thereof by reason of trademark infringement and trademark 
dilution. The notice of investigation named Industrias AIEn, S.A. de 
C.V. of Sta. Catarina, Mexico and AIEn USA, LLC of Houston, Texas 
(collectively, ``AIEn'') as respondents.
    On November 27, 2013, Clorox and AIEn filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon a settlement 
agreement. On December 3, 2013, the Commission investigative attorney 
filed a response in support of the motion. No other responses to the 
motion were filed.
    On December 3, 2013, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
joint motion to terminate the investigation in its entirety. The ALJ 
found that the settlement agreement complies with the requirements of 
Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)) and that terminating AIEn 
from the investigation would not be contrary to the public interest. 
None of the parties petitioned for review of the ID.
    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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

     Issued: December 19, 2013.

    By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
