settlement with respect to Sumitomo. 

Sumitomo, Order No. 21 (Jul. 15, 2024), 

unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Aug. 8, 

2024). 

The Commission further previously 

terminated the investigation in part 

based on US Conec’s withdrawal of the 

complaint with respect to the following 

respondents: Hubbell Inc., Hubbell 

Premise Wiring, Inc., EZconn Corp., 

Changzhou Co-Net Electronic 

Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen 

UnitekFiber Solution Ltd., Rayoptic

motion for leave to amend the 

complaint and notice of investigation to 

add three respondents: Protai Photonic 

Co., Ltd., Jarllytec Co., Ltd., and 

Wave2Wave Solutions Corp. d/b/a 

FiberSmart. The ALJ issued Order No. 

27 granting the motion to allow US 

Conec to amend its complaint. Order 

No. 27 (Jul. 31, 2024), unreviewed by 

Comm’n Notice (Aug. 16, 2024). But 

while US Conec was granted leave to 

amend its complaint, US Conec never 

filed an amended complaint. Therefore, 

Protai Photonic Co., Ltd., Jarllytec Co., 

Ltd., and Wave2Wave Solutions Corp. 

d/b/a FiberSmart were not added to the 

investigation as respondents. 

On September 23, 2024, US Conec 

and the Senko Respondents jointly 

moved to terminate the investigation 

with respect to the Senko Respondents 

based on settlement. That same day, 

OUII filed a response in support of the 

motion. No other party responded to the 

motion. 

On July 15, 2024, the ALJ issued the 

subject ID granting the motion and 

terminating the investigation with 

respect to the Senko Respondents based 

on settlement pursuant to Commission 

Rule 210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(b)(1)). 

Because the Senko Respondents were 

the last remaining respondents in the 

investigation, the ID also terminates the 

investigation in its entirety. No petitions 

for review of the subject ID were 

received. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. This 

investigation is hereby terminated. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on October 11, 

2024. 

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.
