the Complaint and the Notice of Investigation
AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination
(``ID'') (Order No. 9) issued by the presiding administrative law judge
(``ALJ'') on May 29, 2014, granting the complainant's unopposed motion
to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to change the name
of a respondent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on April 14, 2014, based on a complaint filed by FMC Corporation
(``FMC''). 79 FR 20907-08. The complaint alleges violations of section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section
337''), in 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. Id. at 20907. The Commission's notice of
investigation named as respondents Beijing Nutrichem Science and
Technology Stock Co., Ltd., of Beijing, China; Summit Agro USA, LLC, of
Cary, North Carolina; Summit Agro North America Holding Corporation of
New York, New York; and Jiangxi Heyi Chemicals Co. Ltd. of Jiujiang
City, China. Id. at 20908.
On May 23, 2014, FMC filed an unopposed motion to amend the
complaint and the notice of investigation to change the name of
respondent Beijing Nutrichem Science and Technology Stock Co., Ltd., to
Nutrichem Co., Ltd. FMC states that Beijing Nutrichem Science and
Technology Stock Co., Ltd. is the literal English translation of the
company's Chinese name, but that the company's recent response to the
complaint explained that the company's proper English-language name is
Nutrichem Co., Ltd. FMC contends that good cause exists to amend the
complaint because Nutrichem Co., Ltd. received proper notice of the
proceedings, and that such amendment is in the public interest because
the name correction will prevent confusion should any remedy be granted
in this investigation.
On May 29, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting FMC's
motion to amend the complaint and the notice of investigation. The ALJ
found good cause for granting the motion because the amendment will
prevent confusion, and, prejudice, if any, will be minimal. No
petitions for review were filed.
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: June 23, 2014.
Jennifer D. Rohrbach,
Supervisory Attorney.
