SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on June 24, 2016, based on a complaint filed by Intex Recreation Corp. of Long Beach, California; and Intex Marketing Ltd. of Tortola, British Virgin Islands (together, “Intex”). 81 *FR* 41346-47. The complaint alleges that respondents Bestway (USA), Inc., of Phoenix, Arizona; Bestway Global Holdings, Inc. of Shanghai, China; Bestway (Hong Kong) International Ltd. of Hong Kong; Bestway Inflatables & Materials Corporation of Shanghai, China; and Bestway (Nantong) Recreation Corp. of Nantong, China (together, “Bestway”), are in violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,562,773 and 9,156,203. *Id.* The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (“OUII”) is a party to the investigation. *Id.* at 41347. On July 14, 2016, Bestway filed a motion to terminate the investigation based upon a consent order stipulation and proposed consent order. That same day, OUII filed a response arguing that the motion should be granted because it complies with the Commission Rules for consent orders and termination serves the public interest. Intex did not respond to the motion. On July 25, 2016, the ALJ granted the motion in the subject ID. She found that the motion for termination by consent order stipulation complies with the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(c) and is in the public interest. No petitions for review of the ID were received. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID and to issue a consent order. The investigation is terminated in its entirety. 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: August 18, 2016. Lisa R. Barton, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2016-20200 Filed 8-23-16; 8:45 am]
