A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Energy and Performance Information
Center (EPIC).
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0274.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
Form Number: None—all information
collected electronically.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department has recognized the need for
improving energy efficiency in
affordable housing and has prioritized
this in Agency Priority Goal #4, Measure
#13. The energy efficiency data
collected through EPIC gives the
Department a more comprehensive
dataset regarding energy efficiency. The
EPIC data system will gradually
automate the collection of the five year
plan and annual statement forms from
grantees. These are required forms
presently collected in hard copy on
Forms HUD 50075.1 and HUD 50075.2
under collection OMB control number
2577–0226. These forms also collect
data on the eventual, actual use of
funds; this data will be gradually
collected electronically through the
EPIC data system as well. Electronic
collection will enable the Department to
aggregate information about the way
grantees are using Federal funding.
Additionally, PHA grantees will be able
to submit Replacement Housing Factor
fund plans, the mechanism by which
PHAs are allowed to accumulate special
funds received based on units removed
from the inventory from year to year.
This information is presently collected
in hard copy at the field office level; the
EPIC data system will automate and
centralize this collection in order to
streamline the process and improve
transparency. Furthermore, the EPIC
data system will be loaded with
Physical Needs Assessment (‘‘PNA’’)
data. This data being in the system
coupled with the electronic planning
process will streamline grantee
planning. The EPIC data system will
collect information about the Energy
Performance Contract (‘‘EPC’’) process,
including the energy efficiency
improvements. As the Department
moves to shrink its energy footprint in
spite of rising energy costs, clear and
comprehensive data on this process will
be crucial to its success. Finally, the
Department has prioritized in Agency
Performance Goal #2, Measure #5
making housing more available for more
families. In the light of the recent
housing crisis, this goal has become
simultaneously more challenging and
more important. Tracking of the use of
Federal funds paid through the Public

Housing Capital Fund, the only Federal
funding stream dedicated to the capital
needs of the nation’s last resort housing
option, is crucial to understanding how
the Department can properly and
efficiently assist grantees in meeting this
goal as well as assessing the
Department’s own progress. The EPIC
data system will track development of
Public Housing with Federal funds and
through other means, including mixedfinance development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

as amended, filed by Crocs, Inc.
(‘‘Crocs’’) of Niwot, Colorado. 71 FR
27514–15 (May 11, 2006). The
complaint alleged, inter alia, violations
of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the
importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, and the sale within
the United States after importation of

and U.S. Patent No. D517,789 (‘‘the ’789

requirement with respect to the ’789
patent, and invalidity of the ’858 patent
as obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103. 73 FR
45073–74 (Aug. 1, 2008). On July 15,
2011, after an appeal to the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and
subsequent remand vacating the
Commission’s previous finding of no
violation, the Commission found a
violation of section 337 based on
infringement of the asserted claims of
the patents and issued a general
exclusion order and, inter alia, a cease
and desist order directed against Double
Diamond. 76 FR 43723–24 (July 21,
2011).
On July 12, 2016, Double Diamond
and U.S.A. Dawgs, Inc. (‘‘USA Dawgs’’)
of Las Vegas, Nevada (collectively, the
‘‘requesters’’) petitioned for institution
of an advisory opinion proceeding as to
whether their Fleece Dawgs footwear is
covered by the general exclusion order
or cease and desist order directed
against Double Diamond. No responses
were filed.
The Commission has determined that
requesters’ petition complies with the
requirements for institution of an
advisory opinion proceeding under
Commission Rule 210.79 to determine
whether their Fleece Dawgs footwear
infringes the ’789 patent or claims 1 or
2 of the ’858 patent. Accordingly, the
Commission has determined to institute
an advisory opinion proceeding and
refer requesters’ petition to the Office of
Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’).
The parties will furnish OUII with
information as requested, and OUII shall
investigate and issue a report to the
Commission within ninety (90) days of
the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. The Commission
will issue an advisory opinion within 45
days of receipt of OUII’s written report.
The following entities are named as
parties to the proceeding: (1) Crocs; (2)
Double Diamond; and (3) USA Dawgs.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in sections
335 and 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 1335, 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 11, 2016.
