SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

investigation based on a complaint filed 

on behalf of Tama Group of Israel and 

Tama USA Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa 

(together, ‘‘Tama’’). 85 FR 48561–62 

(Aug. 11, 2020). The complaint alleged 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 

1337, based upon the importation into 

the United States, the sale for 

importation, and the sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain wrapping material and methods 

for use in agricultural applications by 

reason of infringement of one or more of 

claims 1, 2, 4–16, 18, 28, 32, 33, and 35– 

45 of U.S. Patent No. 6,787,209 (‘‘the 

’209 patent’’). Id. The Commission’s 

notice of investigation named as 

respondents Zhejiang Yajia Cotton 

Picker Parts Co., Ltd. of Zhuji City, 

China (‘‘Yajia Cotton’’); Southern 

Marketing Affiliates, Inc. of Jonesboro, 

Arkansas (‘‘SMA’’); Hai’an Xin Fu Yuan 

of Agricultural, Science, and 

Technology Co., Ltd. of Nantong, China 

(‘‘XFY’’); and Gosun Business 

Development Co. Ltd. of Grande Prairie, 

Canada (‘‘Gosun’’). Id. at 48561. The 

Office of Unfair Import Investigations is 

not participating in this investigation. 

Id. 

The Commission previously 

terminated this investigation with 

respect to Gosun. Order No. 6, 

unreviewed by Notice (Oct. 5, 2020). 

Based on Tama’s motion, the 

Commission later amended the 

complaint and notice of investigation to 

add Zhejiang Yajia Packaging Materials 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yajia Packaging’’) as a 

respondent. Order No. 8, unreviewed by 

Notice (Oct. 27, 2020); 85 FR 68,916 

(Oct. 30, 2020). Yajia Cotton and Yajia 

Packaging are collectively referred to 

herein as ‘‘Yajia.’’ Yajia, SMA, and XFY 

are collectively referred to herein as 

‘‘Respondents.’’ 

On November 16, 2020, XFY was 

found in default pursuant to 

Commission Rule 210.16 (19 CFR 

210.16). Order No. 11, unreviewed by 

Notice (Nov. 30, 2020). 

On December 10, 2021, the ALJ issued 

the final ID, which found that 

Respondents did not violate section 337. 

On December 27, 2021, Yajia and 

SMA filed a joint petition for review, 

and Tama also filed a petition for 

review. On January 4, 2022, Yajia and 

SMA filed a joint response to Tama’s 

petition for review, and Tama filed a 

response to Yajia and SMA’s joint 

petition for review. 

The Commission received no public 

interest comments from the public in 

response to the Commission’s Federal 

Register notice seeking comment on the 

public interest. 86 FR 71664–65 (Dec. 

17, 2021). Tama, Yajia, and SMA did 

not submit any public interest 

comments pursuant to Commission Rule 

210.50(a)(4) (19 CFR 210.50(a)(4)). 

On, March 9, 2022, the Commission 

determined to review the following 

findings and conclusions of the final ID: 

(1) The final ID’s findings that Yajia 

and SMA do not infringe claims 32, 33, 

35–38, and 41–44 directly or indirectly; 

and 

(2) the final ID’s finding that the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry requirement has not been 

satisfied. 

On March 17, 2022, Tama and 

Respondents filed a joint motion to 

terminate the investigation based on a 

settlement agreement and a motion to 

stay the deadlines (the ‘‘Motion’’). The 

Motion includes the settlement 

agreement. 

The Commission has determined that 

the Motion complies with the 

requirements of section 210.21(b)(1) of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 210.21(b)(1)), and 

that there are no extraordinary 

circumstances that would prevent the 

requested termination. The Commission 

also finds that granting the Motion 

would not be contrary to the public 

interest pursuant to section 210.50(b)(2) 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure (19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)). 

Accordingly, the Commission hereby 

grants the Motion. The Commission 

takes no position as to the issues that 

remain under review. 

This investigation is terminated. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on March 28, 

2022. 

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). 

While temporary remote operating 

procedures are in place in response to 

COVID–19, the Office of the Secretary is 

not able to serve parties that have not 

retained counsel or otherwise provided 

a point of contact for electronic service. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Commission 

Rules 201.16(a) and 210.7(a)(1) (19 CFR 

201.16(a), 210.7(a)(1)), the Commission 

orders that the Complainant(s) complete 

service for any party/parties without a 

method of electronic service noted on 

the attached Certificate of Service and 

shall file proof of service on the 

Electronic Document Information 

System (EDIS).] 

By order of the Commission.
