the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and
the sale within the United States after importation of certain

withdrawal of the complaint. On August 1, 2022, the ALJ granted
Complainant's motion. The ID found that it was in the public interest
to grant the motion, that the Complainant represented ``there are no
agreements, written or oral, express or implied between Complainant and
any Respondents concerning the subject matter of the Investigation,''
and that no extraordinary circumstances exist that prevent withdrawal
of the complaint. No one petitioned for review of the ID.
The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The
investigation is terminated.
The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 30,
2022.
The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in

By order of the Commission.
Issued: August 30, 2022.
