Bradley Company of Columbus, Georgia; and GHP Group, Incorporated of Morton Grove, Illinois. On November 19, 2013, Complainants filed an unopposed motion to amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation. Complainants A&J sought to amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation to
(1)change the name of Respondent Kamado Joe Company to Premier Specialty Brands, LLC,
(2)change the name of Respondent Rankam Group to Rankam Metal Products Manufactory Limited, USA, and
(3)substitute Char-Broil, LLC for Respondent W.C. Bradley Co. A&J represented that Kamado Joe Company is a trade name for the legal entity Premier Specialty Brands, LLC; Rankam Metal Products Manufactory Limited, USA is the correct legal name for Rankam Group; and Char-Broil, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of W.C. Bradley Co. On December 4, 2013, the ALJ granted the motion. The ALJ found that good cause exists to amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation to correct the names of two of the Respondents and substitute Char-Broil, LLC for W.C. Bradley Co. to prevent confusion among the parties and the public by identifying the correct legal names of the parties in interest. The ALJ also found that the attorneys for the corrected parties were served in compliance with Commission Rule 210.14(b)(1). No petitions for review were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject 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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42). By order of the Commission. Issued: December 23, 2013. Lisa R. Barton, Acting Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2013-31056 Filed 12-26-13; 8:45 am]
