The complaint alleges a violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,891,044 (“the `044 patent”); 7,937,798 (“the `798 patent”); and 8,220,106 by Federal-Mogul Corp. of Southfield, Michigan; Federal-Mogul Vehicle Component Solutions, Inc. of Southfield, Michigan; and Federal-Mogul S.A. of Aubange, Belgium (collectively, “Federal-Mogul”). 79 FR 52041-42 (Sep. 2, 2014). On November 21, 2014, the Commission instituted Investigation No. 337-TA-937, *Certain Windshield Wipers and Components Thereof,* based on a separate complaint filed by Valeo. The complaint alleges a violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of the `044 patent and the `798 patent by Trico Products Corporation of Rochester Hills, Michigan, Trico Products of Brownsville, Texas; and Trico Componentes SA de CV of Tamaulipas, Mexico. 79 FR 69525-26 (Nov. 21, 2014). On December 9, 2014, the ALJ consolidated Investigation Nos. 337-TA-928 and 337-TA-937. *See* ALJ Order No. 8 in the investigation 337-TA-928.

(b)to terminate by settlement the Federal-Mogul respondents. No responses were filed. On June 5, 2015, the ALJ issued Order No. 24 in which he, *inter alia,* granted the joint motion to terminate the investigation as to respondents Federal-Mogul based on a settlement agreement. This portion of Order No. 24 represents the subject ID. The ALJ found that the joint motion complies with the Commission Rules, and that termination of the investigation as to Federal-Mogul is in the public interest and will conserve public and private resources. No party petitioned for review of Order No. 24, and the Commission has determined not to review it. 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: June 29, 2015. William R. Bishop, Supervisory Hearings and Information Officer. [FR Doc. 2015-16436 Filed 7-2-15; 8:45 am]
