SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on May 14, 2021. 86 FR 26544 (May 14, 

2021). The complaint, as supplemented, 

was filed by complainants Celanese 

International Corporation of Irving, 

Texas; Celanese (Malta) Company 2 

Limited of Qormi, Malta; and Celanese 

Sales U.S. Ltd. of Irving, Texas 

(collectively, ‘‘Celanese’’), and alleged 

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, or the 

sale within the United States after 

importation of certain high-potency 

sweeteners, processes for making same, 

and products containing same by reason 

of infringement of certain claims of 

United States Patent Nos. 10,023,546; 

10,208,004; 10,590,098; 10,233,163; and 

10,590,095. Id. The complaint further 

alleged that a domestic industry exists. 

Id. The Commission’s notice of 

investigation named twelve 

respondents, including respondents 

Anhui Jinhe Industrial Co., Ltd., and 

Jinhe USA LLC (collectively, ‘‘Jinhe’’) 

and Prinova US LLC (‘‘Prinova’’). Id. 

The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is also 

participating in this investigation. Id. 

On July 9, 2021, Celanese moved for 

leave to add the Proposed Respondents 

to the complaint and notice of 

investigation. On July 21, 2021, Jinhe 

filed a brief opposing Celanese’s motion 

on the grounds that certain of the 

Proposed Respondents could have been 

identified by Celanese in its original 

complaint, and that the current 

respondents, OUII, and the Proposed 

Respondents will be prejudiced by the 

addition of respondents at this stage of 

the investigation. The same day, Prinova 

filed a notice indicating that it joined 

Jinhe’s opposition. Also, on the same 

day, OUII filed a brief supporting 

Celanese’s motion. 

On August 6, 2021, the ALJ issued the 

subject ID granting Celanese’s motion. 

The subject ID is based on the ALJ’s 

subsidiary findings that Celanese has 

shown good cause to add allegations to 

the complaint that the Proposed 

Respondents have violated section 337 

and that the current parties are unlikely 

to suffer prejudice due to the addition 

of the Proposed Respondents to the 

investigation. No petitions for review of 

the ID were received. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. The notice of 

investigation is hereby amended to add 

the following as respondents to the 

investigation: 

1. Amerisweet Co., Ltd.; 

2. Batory Foods; 

3. DMH Ingredients Inc.; 

4. Fortway Chemicals Co.; 

5. Ingredient Supply Corporation; 

6. Nutravative Ingredients; 

7. Nutrisprinter Limited; 

8. Polestar Development Limited; 

9. Qingdao Samin Chemical Co.; 

10. Rochem International Inc.; and 

11. V-Chem Trading Ltd. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on August 23, 

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 

210). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: August 23, 2021.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On August 19, 2021, the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) lodged a 

proposed Amended Consent Decree 

with the United States District Court for 

the Northern District of Indiana in 

United States of America and State of 

Indiana v. City of South Bend, Indiana, 

No. 3:11CV505. The proposed Amended 

Consent Decree supersedes and replaces 

the original Consent Decree that the

claims for civil penalties, and injunctive 

relief in the form of a Long Term 

Control Plan for violations of the Clean 

Water Act and related State law claims 

regarding the City of South Bend’s 

operation of its municipal wastewater 

and sewer system. In the proposed 

Amended Consent Decree, South Bend 

agrees to construct and operate a sewage 

conveyance and treatment system that, 

once fully implemented by 2038, would 

significantly increase the level of 

control of pollutant discharges required 

under the 2012 Consent Decree by, 

among other things, treating sewage and 

wastewater discharges to meet Indiana’s 

water quality standard for E. coli. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed Amended Consent Decree.

presidential.jsp. 

Use of the Information: Following are 

brief outlines of the honorary award 

programs: 

• President’s National Medal of 

Science. Statutory authority for the 

President’s National Medal of Science is 

contained in 42 U.S.C. 1881 (Pub. L. 86– 

209), which established the award and 

stated that ‘‘(t)he President shall . . . 

award the Medal on the 

recommendations received from the 

National Academy of Sciences or on the 

basis of such other information and 

evidence as . . . appropriate.’’ 

• Alan T. Waterman Award. Congress 

established the Alan T. Waterman 

Award in August 1975 (42 U.S.C. 1881a 

(Pub. L. 94–86)) and authorized NSF to 

‘‘establish the Alan T. Waterman Award 

for research or advanced study in any of 

the sciences or engineering’’ to mark the 

25th anniversary of the National Science 

Foundation and to honor its first 

Director. The annual award recognizes 

an outstanding young researcher in any 

field of science or engineering 

supported by NSF. In addition to a 

medal, the awardee receives a grant of 

$1,000,000 over a five-year period for 

scientific research or advanced study in 

any field of science or engineering. 

• Vannevar Bush Award. The 

Vannevar Bush Award honors truly 

exceptional lifelong leaders in science 

and technology who have made 

substantial contributions to the welfare 

of the Nation through public service 

activities in science, technology, and 

public policy. The National Science 

Board established this award in 1980 in 

the memory of Vannevar Bush, who 

served as a science advisor to President 

Franklin Roosevelt during World War II, 

helped to establish Federal funding for 

science and engineering as a national 

priority during peacetime, and was 

behind the creation of the National 

Science Foundation.
