SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation

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 foldable stools by reason of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 
D460,566. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic 
industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named several 
respondents including the following: abc Distributing Inc. (``abc 
Distributing'') of Bannockburn, Illinois; Crate & Barrel, Inc. (``Crate 
& Barrel'') of Northbrook, Illinois; and Home Depot Inc. (``Home 
Depot'') of Atlanta, Georgia.
    On January 5, 2010, B & R filed an unopposed motion to amend the 
complaint and notice of investigation to substitute proposed respondent 
Home Depot U.S.A. Inc. for named respondent Home Depot, and to correct 
the corporate names of respondents abc Distributing and Crate & Barrel 
with ``LTD Commodities, LLC, d/b/a abc Distributing'' and ``Euromarket 
Designs, Inc., d/b/a Crate & Barrel,'' respectively.
    On January 19, 2010, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting B & R's 
motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation. No party 
petitioned for review of the ID pursuant to 19 CFR 210.43(a). The 
Commission has determined not to review this 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 sections 210.14 and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.14, 210.42(h).
