SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 

(‘‘section 337’’) on October 9, 2019, 

based on a complaint filed by SK 

Innovation Co., Ltd. of Seoul, Republic 

of Korea and SK Battery America, Inc. 

of Atlanta, Georgia (collectively, ‘‘SK’’). 

84 FR 54173–74 (Oct. 9, 2019). The 

complaint alleges a violation of section 

337 based upon the importation into the 

United States, the sale for importation, 

and the sale within the United States 

after importation of certain pouch-type 

battery cells, battery modules, and 

battery packs, components thereof, and 

products containing the same by reason 

of infringement of claims 1–36 of U.S. 

Patent No. 10,121,994 (‘‘the ’994 

patent’’). The complaint named as 

respondents LG Chem, Ltd. of Seoul, 

Republic of Korea, and LG Chem 

Michigan, Inc. of Holland, Michigan 

(collectively, ‘‘LG’’). The Commission’s 

Office of Unfair Import Investigations 

(‘‘OUII’’) also was named as a party. 

Subsequently, the investigation was 

terminated in part based on withdrawal 

of the complaint as to claims 8, 9, 17, 

26, 27, and 35 of the ’994 patent. Order 

No. 23 (March 25, 2020), unreviewed by 

Notice (Apr. 22, 2020). Further, the 

Commission determined that the 

economic prong of the domestic 

industry is satisfied. Order No. 51 (Dec. 

14, 2020), reviewed, and on review, 

affirmed with modified reasoning by 

Notice (Jan. 14, 2021). Also, the 

Commission determined to allow 

complainants: (1) To amend the 

complaint and notice of investigation to 

reflect the respondents’ corporate 

reorganization and (2) to withdraw 

allegations concerning certain claims of 

the ’994 patent from the complaint. 

Order No. 53 (Jan. 11, 2021), unreviewed 

by 86 FR 9368–69 (Feb. 12, 2021). 

On May 25, 2021, complainants SK 

and respondents LG (together, the 

‘‘Private Parties’’) moved jointly to 

terminate the investigation on the basis 

of a settlement agreement 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 124 / Thursday, July 1, 2021 / Notices 35131 

(‘‘Agreement’’). On May 27, 2021, OUII 

filed a response in support of the joint 

motion. On May 28, 2021, the Private 

Parties were directed to file a revised 

public version of the Agreement. Order 

No. 73. Pursuant to Order No. 73, the 

Private Parties filed a revised public 

version of the Agreement on June 1, 

2021. 

On June 2, 2021, the CALJ issued the 

subject ID granting the subject motion. 

The ID finds that the Agreement 

completely resolves the dispute as to the 

Private Parties. The ID also finds that 

consistent with Commission Rule 

210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(b)(1)), the 

Private Parties aver that there are no 

other agreements, written or oral, 

express or implied, between them 

concerning the subject matter of this 

investigation. ID at 2 (citing Mot. at 2). 

The ID also finds that termination of 

this investigation does not impose any 

undue burdens on the public health and 

welfare, competitive conditions in the 

United States economy, production of 

like or directly competitive articles in 

the United States, or United States 

consumers. Id.; see 19 CFR 210.50(b)(2). 

No party petitioned for review of the ID. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. The 

investigation is terminated in its 

entirety. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on June 25, 

2021. 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On August 19, 2016, 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) issued an antidumping 

duty order on imports of 

hydrofluorocarbon blends from China 

(81 FR 55436). The Commission is 

conducting a review pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 

1675(c)), to determine whether 

revocation of the order would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to the domestic industry 

within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

Provisions concerning the conduct of 

this proceeding may be found in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts 

A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts 

A and F. The Commission will assess 

the adequacy of interested party 

responses to this notice of institution to 

determine whether to conduct a full 

review or an expedited review. The 

Commission’s determination in any 

expedited review will be based on the 

facts available, which may include 

information provided in response to this 

notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to this review: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year review, as defined 

by the Department of Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Country in this review 

is China. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

determination, the Commission defined 

the Domestic Like Product as two 

domestic like products, one consisting 

of in-scope HFC blends and one 

consisting of in-scope HFC components. 

The Domestic Like Product for this 

review consists of in-scope HFC blends. 

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. 

producers as a whole of the Domestic 

Like Product, or those producers whose 

collective output of the Domestic Like 

Product constitutes a major proportion 

of the total domestic production of the 

product. In its original determination, 

the Commission defined the Domestic 

Industry as all domestic producers of 

HFC blends and HFC components. The 

Domestic Industry for this review is 

defined as all domestic producers of 

HFC blends. 

(5) The Order Date is the date that the 

antidumping duty order under review 

became effective. In this review, the 

Order Date is August 19, 2016. 

(6) An Importer is any person or firm 

engaged, either directly or through a 

parent company or subsidiary, in 

importing the Subject Merchandise into 

the United States from a foreign 

manufacturer or through its selling 

agent. 

Participation in the proceeding and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the Subject 

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the proceeding as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the proceeding. 

Former Commission employees who
