SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this
investigation, which concerns allegations of unfair acts in violation
of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation and sale of
certain signature capture transaction devices, component parts thereof,
and systems that employ such devices on January 9, 2004, based on a
complaint filed by NCR Corporation, (``NCR'') of Dayton, Ohio. The

On March 5, 2004, NCR and Ingenico filed a joint motion to
terminate the investigation on the basis of the settlement agreement,
and NCR filed a motion to terminate the investigation with respect to
SMTC based on withdrawal of the complaint as to SMTC. The Commission
investigative attorney supported both motions.

investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement and NCR's motion
