[Inv. No. 337-TA-455]


Certain Network Interface Cards and Access Points for Use in 
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Wireless Local Area Networks and 
Products Containing Same; Notice of Decision To Extend the Deadlines 
for Determining Whether To Review Two Determinations

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined to extend until June 25, 2001, the deadlines 
for determining whether to review two initial determinations (``IDs'') 
issued by the presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) in the above-
captioned investigation (Orders Nos. 12 and 13), granting the motions 
of Intersil Corporation (``Intersil'') and Agere

[[Page 30945]]

Systems, Inc. (``Agere''), respectively, to intervene but denying them 
respondent status.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Liberman, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 205-3115. Copies of the 
ALJ's 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 this 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 Internet server (http://www.usitc.gov). The public record for this 
investigation may be viewed on the Commission's electronic docket 
(EDIS-ON-LINE) at http://dockets.usitc.gov/eol/public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on April 9, 2001, based on a complaint filed by Proxim, Inc. 
(``Proxim'') against 14 entities which do not include Intersil or 
Agere. The notice of investigation was published in the Federal 
Register on April 9, 2001. 66 FR 18507 (2001). The complaint alleges 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation 
into the United States, sale for importation, and/or sale within the 
United States after importation of certain wireless network interface 
cards and access points by reason of infringement of certain U.S. 
patents owned by Proxim. On April 16, 2001, Intersil and Agere, both, 
filed the motions to intervene as the respondents in the investigation.
    On May 8, 2001, and on May 15, 2001, the presiding administrative 
law judge (ALJ) (Judge Morriss) issued two IDs (Orders Nos. 12 and 13) 
granting Intersil's and Agere's motions, respectively. The IDs allow 
Intersil and Agere to become intervenors in the present investigation, 
but deny Intersil and Agere respondent status.
    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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

    Issued: June 4, 2001.

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