The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The Commission’s notice of investigation named several respondents. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is participating in the investigation. On January 23, 2020, complainants filed an unopposed amended motion to amend the complaint and NOI to substitute HSC for HQC–AMC as a complainant. The subject ID (Order No. 38) issued on January 30, 2020, granting complainants’ motion to amend the complaint and NOI. The ID finds that good cause exists to grant the motion to amend under Commission Rule 210.14(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)) because complainants’ motion is unopposed. No petitions for review were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the ID. 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.
