INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Inv. No. 337-TA-429]


In the Matter of Certain Bar Clamps, Bar Clamp Pads, and Related 
Packaging, Display, and Other Materials; Notice of Commission Decision 
To Extend by One Week the Deadline for Determining Whether To Review an 
Initial Determination Terminating the Investigation in Part Based on 
Partial Withdrawal of the Complaint

AGENCY: International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined to extend by one week, or until November 9, 
2000, the deadline for determining whether to review an initial 
determination (ID) (Order No. 5) issued by the presiding administrative 
law judge (ALJ) in the above-captioned investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tina Potuto Kimble, Esq., Office of 
the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 
202-205-3116.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 13, 2000, based on a complaint filed by American Tool

[[Page 67762]]

Companies, Inc. (``American Tool'') of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and 
Peterson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (``Peterson'') of DeWitt, Nebraska 
(collectively ``complainants''). 65 FR 13307.
    On September 6, 2000, complainants filed a motion to amend the 
complaint and notice of investigation asserting that respondents no 
longer ship infringing product to the United States and do not intend 
to do so in the future. On September 18, 2000, respondents, Wolfcraft 
GMbH of Germany and Wolfcraft, Inc. of Itasca, Illinois, filed an 
opposition to complainants' motion stating that they in fact intend to 
resume importation of the product in question to the United States. On 
September 18, 2000, the Commission investigative attorney (IA) filed a 
response in support of the motion, but argued that it should be 
construed as a motion for partial termination based on the withdrawal 
of certain allegations. On September 20, 2000, complainants filed a 
reply agreeing with IA's suggestion that their motion be construed as 
one for partial termination. On October 2, 2000, the presiding ALJ 
issued an ID (Order No. 5) granting complainants' motion for partial 
withdrawal of the complaint. No petitions for review of the ID were 
filed.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rule 210.42(h)(3), 
19 CFR 210.42(h)(3).
    Copies of the public version of the ID, and all other 
nonconfidential documents filed in connection with this investigation, 
are or will be available for inspection during official business hours 
(8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436, 
telephone 202-205-2000. Hearing-impaired persons are advised that 
information on the matter can be obtained by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. General information 
concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its

    Issued: November 3, 2000.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
