[[Page 55407]] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Cynthia P. Johnson, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone (202) 205-3098. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on a complaint by Corning, Inc. (``Corning'') alleging that Chromatic Technologies, Inc., (``CTI'') and Plasma Optical Fibre, B.V. (``POF'') had violated section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by importing into the United States, selling for importation, and/or selling in the United States after importation certain coated optical waveguide fibers that infringe claim 1 of Corning's U.S. Letters Patent 4,792,347. On July 17, 1998, the Commission determined not to review an ID adding Yangtze Optical Fiber and Cable Company, Ltd. (``YOFC'') as a respondent. On August 21, 1998, complainant Corning and respondents CTI, POF, and YOFC filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation by consent order. The Commission investigative attorney stated she would support the joint motion if an executed copy of the consent order stipulation was filed. An executed copy of the consent order stipulation was later filed. On September 10, 1998, the presiding administrative law judge (``ALJ'') issued an ID (Order No. 9) terminating the investigation on the basis of the proposed consent order. No party petitioned for review of the 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 Commission rule 210.42, 19 CFR 210.42.
