Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 212 / Thursday, November 3, 2005 / Notices Any such application must be made no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to this proceeding. Parties that are currently subject to the APO issued in Investigation No. 701–TA–431 by virtue of their participation in the litigation before the Court of International Trade in Hynix Semiconductor Inc. v. United States, Ct. No. 03–652, need not file a new APO application in this proceeding. The Secretary will maintain a separate service list for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO. Limitations on the scope of this proceeding. This proceeding is being conducted in order for the Commission to make a determination that would render its action in DRAMs and DRAM Modules from Korea, Investigation No. 701–TA–431, not inconsistent with the findings of the WTO dispute settlement panel. Thus, this proceeding only involves issues related to the WTO dispute settlement findings and does not involve issues that were not in dispute in the WTO proceeding or on which the WTO dispute settlement panel found the United States in conformity with its obligations under the WTO. As discussed above, the only issue on which the WTO dispute settlement panel found the Commission’s injury determination inconsistent with the ASCM pertained to the question of whether the Commission attributed to the subject imports any injury that may have been caused by declines in demand. Any material in the parties’ submissions that contains new factual information or that addresses any issue beyond the scope of this proceeding will be disregarded. Written Submissions. The Commission is not reopening the record in this proceeding for submission of new factual information. The Commission will, however, permit the parties to file comments and rebuttal comments pertaining to the issue that is within the scope of this proceeding. The deadline for filing comments is December 5, 2005. Comments shall be limited to no more than forty (40) double-spaced and single-sided pages of textual material. The deadline for filing rebuttal comments is December 19, 2005. Rebuttal comments shall be limited to no more than twenty (20) double-spaced and single sided pages of textual material. Any material in the parties’ submissions that contains new factual information or that addresses any issue VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:27 Nov 02, 2005 Jkt 208001 beyond the scope of this proceeding will be disregarded. All written submissions must conform with the provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission’s rules; any submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission’s rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent permitted by section 201.8 of the Commission’s rules, as amended, 67 FR 68036 (November 8, 2002). In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules, each document filed by a party to the investigation must be served on all other parties to the investigation (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service. The Commission has concluded that, because it is not reopening the record, conducting a hearing is inappropriate in this proceeding. Issued: October 31, 2005. By order of the Commission. Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 05–21949 Filed 11–2–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020–02–P INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION [Inv.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This patent-based section 337 investigation was instituted by the Commission based on a complaint filed by 3M Company, 3M Innovative Properties Company, and Mr. Jean Silvestre (collectively, ‘‘3M’’), which was subsequently amended. 70 FR 386 (Jan. 4, 2005). The complaint, as amended, alleged a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation and/or sale within the United States after importation, of certain foam masking tape by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patents Nos. 4,996,092 (‘‘the ‘092 patent’’) and 5,260,097 (‘‘the ‘097 patent’’). The notice of investigation named 13 respondents. On February 10, 2005, 3M filed a motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to add two respondents. On March 1, 2005, the administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 14) granting the motion. No party petitioned for review. On March 29, 2005, the Commission issued a notice of its determination not to review the ID. Between February and June of 2005, the investigation was terminated as to 14 of the 15 respondents on the basis of settlement agreements and consent orders, or based on consent orders alone. With respect to Jevtec, Ltd.—the sole respondent as to which the investigation was not terminated—3M moved on May 17, 2005, for an order directing Jevtec to show cause why it should not be found in default for failure to respond to the amended complaint and notice of investigation. 3M also requested the issuance of an ID finding Jevtec in default if Jevtec failed to show such cause. On May 26, 2005, 3M moved for a summary determination of a violation of section 337. On June 6, 2005, the Commission investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’), filed a response in support of the motion for summary determination. On June 7, 2005, the ALJ issued Order No. 36, ordering Jevtec to show cause why it should not be held in default no E:\FR\FM\03NON1.SGM 03NON1 66850 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 212 / Thursday, November 3, 2005 / Notices later than June 14, 2005. Jevtec did not file a response to the order, an answer to the complaint, or a notice of appearance within the time permitted. On June 15, 2005, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 39) finding Jevtec in default. No party petitioned for review of the ID. On July 11, 2005, the Commission determined not to review that initial determination. On June 21, 2005, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 41), granting 3M’s motion for a summary determination of a violation of section 337. The ID notes that only the ‘‘097 patent is at issue in the summary determination, because the investigation has been terminated with respect to all respondents charged with infringement of the ‘‘092 patent. No party petitioned for review of the ID. In Order No. 41, the ALJ recommended the issuance of a general exclusion order. He also recommended that the bond permitting temporary importation during the Presidential review period be set at 100 percent of the value of the infringing imported product. On July 15, 2005, the Commission determined not to review the ALJ’s summary determination that 3M has shown that there is a violation of section 337. It also issued a Federal Register notice, inviting written submissions on the ALJ’s recommended determination on remedy and bonding as well as submissions on the public interest. On July 25, 2005, the Commission received comments from complainant 3M and the IA. No reply submissions were received. Having examined the relevant portions of the record, including ALJ Order No. 41, and the written submissions on remedy, the public interest and bonding, the Commission has determined to issue a general exclusion order prohibiting unlicensed entry for consumption of foam masking tape that is covered by claims 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14 or 16 of the ‘097 patent. In so doing the Commission determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d) do not preclude the issuance of the aforementioned remedial order and the bond during the Presidential review period shall be 100 percent of the entered value of the article in question. The Commission’s order was delivered to the President and the United States Trade Representative on the day of its issuance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This patent-based section 337 investigation 
was instituted by the Commission based on a complaint filed by 3M 
Company, 3M Innovative Properties Company, and Mr. Jean Silvestre 
(collectively, ``3M''), which was subsequently amended. 70 FR 386 (Jan. 
4, 2005). The complaint, as amended, alleged a violation of section 337 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States,

certain claims of U.S. Patents Nos. 4,996,092 (``the `092 patent'') and 
5,260,097 (``the `097 patent''). The notice of investigation named 13 
respondents.

notice of investigation to add two respondents. On March 1, 2005, the 
administrative law judge (``ALJ'') issued an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 14) granting the motion. No party petitioned for 
review. On March 29, 2005, the Commission issued a notice of its 
determination not to review the ID.
    Between February and June of 2005, the investigation was terminated 
as to 14 of the 15 respondents on the basis of settlement agreements 
and consent orders, or based on consent orders alone. With respect to 
Jevtec, Ltd.--the sole respondent as to which the investigation was not 
terminated--3M moved on May 17, 2005, for an order directing Jevtec to 
show cause why it should not be found in default for failure to respond 
to the amended complaint and notice of investigation. 3M also requested 
the issuance of an ID finding Jevtec in default if Jevtec failed to 
show such cause.
    On May 26, 2005, 3M moved for a summary determination of a 
violation of section 337. On June 6, 2005, the Commission investigative 
attorney (``IA''), filed a response in support of the motion for

later than June 14, 2005. Jevtec did not file a response to the order, 
an answer to the complaint, or a notice of appearance within the time 
permitted.
    On June 15, 2005, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 39) finding 
Jevtec in default. No party petitioned for review of the ID. On July 
11, 2005, the Commission determined not to review that initial 
determination.
    On June 21, 2005, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 41), granting 
3M's motion for a summary determination of a violation of section 337. 
The ID notes that only the ``097 patent is at issue in the summary 
determination, because the investigation has been terminated with 
respect to all respondents charged with infringement of the ``092 
patent. No party petitioned for review of the ID.
    In Order No. 41, the ALJ recommended the issuance of a general 
exclusion order. He also recommended that the bond permitting temporary 
importation during the Presidential review period be set at 100 percent 
of the value of the infringing imported product.
    On July 15, 2005, the Commission determined not to review the ALJ's 
summary determination that 3M has shown that there is a violation of 
section 337. It also issued a Federal Register notice, inviting written 
submissions on the ALJ's recommended determination on remedy and 
bonding as well as submissions on the public interest.
    On July 25, 2005, the Commission received comments from complainant 
3M and the IA. No reply submissions were received.
    Having examined the relevant portions of the record, including ALJ

interest and bonding, the Commission has determined to issue a general 
exclusion order prohibiting unlicensed entry for consumption of foam 
masking tape that is covered by claims 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14 or 16 of 
the `097 patent. In so doing the Commission determined that the public

issuance of the aforementioned remedial order and the bond during the 
Presidential review period shall be 100 percent of the entered value of 
the article in question. The Commission's order was delivered to the 
President and the United States Trade Representative on the day of its
