Corporation (``Trico'') of Rochester Hills, Michigan, alleging 
violations 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. 6,836,925 and 6,799,348. 78 FR 70575 (Nov. 26, 2013). The notice

    On July 29, 2014, Trico and Federal Mogul filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation in its entirety pursuant to a settlement 
agreement (``Settlement Agreement''). Public and confidential versions 
of the Settlement Agreement were attached to the motion. The motion

express or implied, between the parties concerning the subject matter 
of this investigation. On August 5, 2014, the Commission investigative 
attorney filed a response supporting the joint motion.
    On August 6, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
motion, finding that no extraordinary circumstances exist that would
