SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects under the control of the sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 Sep 19, 2016 Jkt 238001 San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego, CA. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Long Island, Kodiak Island Borough, AK. This notice is published as part of the National Park Service’s administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Consultation A detailed assessment of the human remains and associated funerary objects was made by the San Diego Museum of Man professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)). History and Description of the Remains In the summer of 1968, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from Long Island, Kodiak Island Borough, AK. These remains were removed from a midden by amateur anthropologists from the Long Island Historical Society. The individual is an adult male. These remains and associated funerary objects were donated to the San Diego Museum of Man by Steve and Linda Gassaway in 1984. No known individuals were identified. The 2 associated funerary objects are 1 slate hone and 1 lot of faunal remains. An examination of the human remains by San Diego Museum of Man physical anthropology professional staff in 1990 determined the individual to be of prehistoric native Alaskan origin. Archeological data indicate that modern Alutiiqs evolved from societies of the Kodiak region, and can trace their ancestry back over 7,500 years in the region. The modern cultural affiliation of this prehistoric individual from Long Island is shared jointly between the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)). Determinations Made by the {Museum or Federal Agency} Officials of the San Diego Museum of Man have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described in this notice PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64505 represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American ancestry. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the two objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)). Additional Requestors and Disposition Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to request transfer of control of these human remains and two associated funerary objects should submit a written request with information in support of the request to Ben Garcia, Deputy Director, San Diego Museum of Man, 1350 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101, telephone (619) 239– 2001 ext. 17, email bgarcia@ museumofman.org, by October 20, 2016. After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary objects to the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak) and the Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)) may proceed. The San Diego Museum of Man is responsible for notifying the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak (previously listed as the Shoonaq’ Tribe of Kodiak) and Tangirnaq Native Village (formerly Lesnoi Village (aka Woody Island)) that this notice has been published.

complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930,

    On December 8, 2015, the administrative law judge (``ALJ'') (Judge 
Essex) issued an initial determination (``ID'') (Order No. 17) finding 
Viraj in default for spoliation of evidence and ordering the 
disgorgement of complainants' operating practices in Viraj's 
possession. On February 8, 2016, the Commission determined to review 
Order No. 17, and, in its notice of review, determined to affirm the 
default finding against Viraj. 81 FR 7584 (Feb. 12, 2016). The 
Commission also requested briefing from the parties on certain other 
issues on review, and requested briefing from the parties, interested 
government agencies, and any other interested persons on the issues of 
remedy, the public interest, and bonding. Id.
    On April 4, 2016, the Commission determined not to review an ID 
(Order No. 19) granting Valbruna's motion for partial termination of 
the investigation based on withdrawal of the complaint against all 
respondents except Viraj. Notice (Apr. 4, 2016).
    On May 25, 2016, the Commission modified the reasoning underlying

order. The Commission terminated the investigation with a finding of 
violation of section 337 as to Viraj. The Commission also issued a 
limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order.
    On June 22, 2016, Viraj filed a request for an advisory opinion

the request. On July 13, 2016, Viraj filed a motion for leave to file a 
reply to Valbruna's opposition. On July 21, 2016, Valbruna filed an 
opposition to Viraj's motion. The Commission grants Viraj's motion.
    The Commission has determined that Viraj's request complies with 
the requirements for issuance of an advisory opinion under Commission 
Rule 210.79. Accordingly, the Commission has determined to issue an 
advisory opinion.
    Having considered the parties' filings, the Commission has 
determined that Viraj has not provided sufficient information to 
determine whether any stainless steel products sought to be imported by 
Viraj would be covered by the limited exclusion order. The Commission's 
opinion on violation requires that Viraj establish ``that specific 
products that it seeks to import are not manufactured using any of the 
trade secrets identified in Valbruna's complaint.'' Comm'n Op. at 31. 
Here, Viraj has not provided sufficient information to establish that 
specific stainless steel products would be manufactured without the 
benefit of Valbruna's trade secrets. The reasons for the Commission's 
determinations are set forth in the accompanying Advisory Opinion.
    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
