SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 5, 2014, FMC Corporation of 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (``FMC'') filed a complaint with the 
Commission alleging violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec.  1337), based upon the importation 
into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within 
the United States after importation of certain sulfentrazone, 
sulfentrazone compositions, and processes for making sulfentrazone, by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,169,952 
(``the '952 patent''). The complaint named Beijing Nutrichem Science 
and Technology Stock Co., Ltd., of Beijing, China; Jiangxi Heyi 
Chemicals Co., Ltd. of Jiujiang City, China; Summit Agro USA, LLC, of 
Cary, North Carolina; and Summit Agro North America Holding 
Corporation, of New York, New York, as proposed respondents. 
Simultaneously with its complaint, FMC filed a motion for temporary 
relief requesting that the Commission issue a temporary limited 
exclusion order and temporary cease and desist order prohibiting, 
during the pendency of the Commission's investigation, the importation 
into and the sale within the United States after importation of certain 
allegedly infringing articles. Based on the complaint, the Commission 
instituted an investigation on April 14, 2014. 79 FR 20907-908 (April 
14, 2014).
    On April 22, 2014, the ALJ issued Order No. 6, designating the 
temporary relief proceeding as ``more complicated'' pursuant to 
Commission Rule 210.60, on the basis of the complexity of the issues 
raised in FMC's motion for temporary relief.
    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.

    Dated: April 25, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
