SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 15, 2017, based upon a complaint filed by Millennium 
Dental Technologies, Inc. of Cerritos, California (``Millennium''). 82 
FR 43401, 43402 (Sept. 15, 2017). 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, or 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain 
periodontal laser devices and components thereof by reason of false 
advertising, the threat or effect of which is to destroy or 
substantially injure an industry in the United States. 82 FR at 43401. 
The notice of investigation named as respondents Fotona d.o.o. of 
Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Fotona, LLC of Dallas Texas (collectively, 
``Fotona''). The Office of Unfair Import Investigations was also named 
as a party.
    On December 28, 2017, Millennium moved to terminate the 
investigation based upon withdrawal of the complaint. The Commission 
investigative attorney responded in support of the motion. Fotona 
responded that while it did not oppose termination, it intended to 
reserve the right to seek sanctions against Millennium.
    On January 3, 2018, the presiding ALJ granted the motion as the 
subject ID. The ID finds that the motion complies with Commission 
Rules, that no extraordinary circumstances prevent the termination of 
the investigation, and that termination is in the public interest. ID 
at 1-2; see 19 CFR 210.21(a)(1).
    No petitions for review of the ID were filed. 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 Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 19, 2018.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
