    Certain Beer Products; Notice of a Commission Determination Not 
    To Review an Initial Determination Terminating One Respondent on the

    AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.
    
    ACTION: Notice.

    SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
    Commission has determined not to review the presiding administrative 
    law judge's (``ALJ's'') initial determination (``ID'') granting the 
    joint motion of complainant Anheuser-Busch, Inc. (``Anheuser-Busch'') 
    and respondent Argen-Wine Imports, Ltd. (``Argen'') to terminate Argen 
    from the above-referenced investigation on the basis of a consent 
    order.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Andrea C. Casson, Esq., Office of the General 
    Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone (202) 205-3105. 
    Copies of the ALJ's ID and all other nonconfidential documents filed in 
    connection with this investigation are or will be available for 
    inspection during official business hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in 
    the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E 
    Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436, telephone 202-205-2000. Hearing-
    impaired persons are advised that information on this matter can be 
    obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. 
    General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by 
    accessing its Internet server (http://www.usitc.gov).
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 27, 1999, the Commission instituted 
    this investigation based on a complaint filed by Anheuser-Busch, 
    alleging a violation of section 337 in the importation and sale of 
    certain beer products by reason of infringement of U.S. Trademark 
    Registration Nos. 922,481, 952,277, or 666,637. 64 FR 30058. Two firms 
    were named as respondents: Argen and Budejovicky Budvar, N.P.
        On July 2, 1999, complainant Anheuser and respondent Argen filed a 
    joint motion to terminate the investigation as to Argen on the basis of 
    a consent order stipulation and proposed consent order. The remaining 
    respondent, Budvar, opposed the motion. The Commission investigative 
    attorney supported the motion.
        On July 26, 1999, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 6) terminating 
    the investigation as to Argen based on the joint stipulation and 
    proposed consent order. No party petitioned for review of the ID 
    pursuant to 19 CFR 210.43(a), and the Commission found no basis for 
    ordering a review on its own initiative pursuant to 19 CFR 210.44. The 
    ID thus became the determination of the Commission pursuant to 19 CFR 
    210.42(h)(3).
        This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
    Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rule 
    210.42, 19 CFR 210.42.
    
        By order of the Commission.
    
        Issued: August 26, 1999.
    
    Donna R. Koehnke,
    Secretary.
