Further, the Department is rescinding the review with respect to Trametal S.p.A. (``Trametal'') because there is no entry against which to collect duties. The Department is also rescinding the review for Metalcam S.p.A. (``Metalcam'') and Riva Fire S.p.A. (``Riva Fire'') because they had no shipments during the POR. The Department is also rescinding this review with respect to Ilva S.p.A. (``Ilva'') because Ilva was improperly included in this administrative review.

Summary of Commission Practice Relating to Administrative Protective Orders
Document Number: E6-10914
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-07-12
Agency: International Trade Commission, Agencies and Commissions
Since February 1991, the U.S. International Trade Commission (``Commission'') has issued an annual report on the status of its practice with respect to violations of its administrative protective orders (``APOs'') in investigations under Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 in response to a direction contained in the Conference Report to the Customs and Trade Act of 1990. Over time, the Commission has added to its report discussions of APO breaches in Commission proceedings other than under Title VII and violations of the Commission's rules including the rule on bracketing business proprietary information (``BPI'') (the ``24-hour rule''), 19 CFR 207.3(c). There were no completed investigations of rule violations during calendar year 2005. This notice provides a summary of investigations completed during calendar year 2005 of breaches in proceedings under Title VII, section 421 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and one conducted under the procedures for imposing sanctions for violation of the provisions of a protective order issued during NAFTA dispute resolution panel and Extraordinary Challenge Committee proceedings. The Commission intends that this report inform representatives of parties to Commission proceedings as to some specific types of APO breaches encountered by the Commission and the corresponding types of actions the Commission has taken.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) Airplanes
Document Number: E6-10913
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-07-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections for cracks, sealant damage, and corrosion of the main fittings of the main landing gear (MLG), and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would reduce the compliance times for inspecting certain low-utilization airplanes, and provide a terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD results from a report of a cracked main fitting of the MLG. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the main fitting of the MLG and consequent failure of the main fitting, which could result in the collapse of the MLG.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 Series Airplanes
Document Number: E6-10912
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-07-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting for fouling and chafing damage of the outboard brake control cable of the main landing gear, replacing the control cable if necessary, reworking the control cable cover, and, if applicable, manufacturing/installing an offset plate on the control cable cover. This proposed AD is prompted by a review of brake control cable operation conducted by the manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to prevent abrasion and wear of the outboard brake control cable, which could lead to cable separation and reduced control of airplane braking.
Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Model G-159 Airplanes
Document Number: E6-10911
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-07-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
This document revises an earlier supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), applicable to all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model G-159 airplanes, that would have required repetitive non-destructive testing inspections to detect corrosion of the skin of certain structural assemblies, and corrective action if necessary. The first supplemental NPRM also would have required x-ray and ultrasonic inspections to detect corrosion and cracking of the splicing of certain structural assemblies, and repair if necessary. This new action revises the proposed rule by limiting the time certain repetitive inspections may be repeated before corrective action must be taken. The actions specified by this new proposed supplemental AD are intended to detect and correct corrosion and cracking of the lower wing plank splices and spot-welded skins of certain structural assemblies, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

A supplement to the complaint was filed on June 27, 2006. The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain mobile telephone handsets, wireless communication devices, and components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1, 3, and 4 of U.S. Patent No. 5,452,473; claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 5,590,408; claims 2, 7, and 8 of U.S. Patent No. 5,655,220; claims 1, 6, 9, 18, 23, and 24 of U.S. Patent No. 5,576,767; claims 3, 4, 13, 59, and 60 of U.S. Patent No. 5,542,104; and claims 1 and 7 of U.S. Patent No. 6,453,182. The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation and, after the investigation, issue a permanent exclusion order and a permanent cease and desist order.
