SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on December 8, 2005, based on a
complaint filed by Lumileds Lighting
U.S., LLC (‘‘Lumileds’’) of San Jose,
California. 70 FR 73026. The complaint,
as amended and supplemented, alleges
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 certain highbrightness light emitting diodes
(‘‘LEDs’’) and products containing same
by reason of infringement of claims 1
and 6 of U.S. Patent No. 5,008,718;
claims 1–3, 8–9, 16, 18, and 23–28 of
U.S. Patent No. 5,376,580; and claims

Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
66195
12–16 of U.S. Patent No. 5,502,316. The
complaint further alleges the existence
of a domestic industry. The
Commission’s notice of investigation
named Epistar Corporation (‘‘Epistar’’)
of Hsinchu, Taiwan, and United Epitaxy
Company (‘‘UEC’’) of Hsinchu, Taiwan
as respondents.
On April 28, 2006, Lumileds moved
to amend the complaint to: (1) Remove
UEC as a named respondent, (2) change
the complainant’s full name from
Lumileds Lighting U.S., LLC to Philips
Lumileds Lighting Company LLC, and
(3) identify additional Epistar LEDs
alleged to infringe one or more patentsin-suit. The remaining respondent did
not oppose the motion.
On October 23, 2006, the ALJ issued
the subject ID granting Lumileds’
motion, and further ordering that the
Notice of Investigation be amended to
identify the actual parties in the abovecaptioned investigation. No party
petitioned for review of the ID pursuant
to 19 CFR 210.43(a), and the
Commission found no basis for ordering
a review on its own initiative pursuant
to 19 CFR 210.44. The Commission has
determined not to review this ID.
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 in
sections 210.14 and 210.42(c)) of the

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decrees
Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
The United States Department of
Justice gives notice that on October 26,
2006, a proposed consent decree was
lodged in United States v. Bunge North
America Inc., et al., Civil Action No.
2:06–cv–02209–MPM–DGB, in the
United States District Court for the
Central District of Illinois.
The consent decree resolves claims
against Bunge North America, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries Bunge
North America (East), L.L.C., Bunge
North America (OPD West), Inc., and
Bunge Milling, Inc. under Section 113 of
the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413. The
United States’ complaint alleges that at
some or all of the twelve plants subject
to the proposed consent decree, one of
the Defendants violated Clean Air Act
requirements related to: Part C of Title
I, 42 U.S.C. 7470–7492, Prevention of
Significant Deterioration; Title V, 42
U.S.C. 7661–7661f, Permits; certain New
Source Performance Standards, 42
U.S.C. 7411, 40 CFR Part 60; the state
implementation plans (‘‘SIPs’’) for the
eight states in which the plants are
located; and SIP permitting programs for
construction and operation of new and
modified stationary sources of air
pollution.
The plants subject to the consent
decree include eleven soybean
processing plants and one corn dry mill.
The soybean processing plants are
located in: Danville, Illinois; Cairo,
Illinois; Morristown, Indiana; Decatur,
Indiana; Delphos, Ohio; Marion, Ohio;
Council Bluffs, Iowa; Emporia, Kansas;
Destrehan, Louisiana; Marks,
Mississippi; and Decatur, Alabama. The
corn dry mill is located in Danville,
Illinois. All eight states where the plants
are located have filed motions to
intervene as plaintiffs in the case and
are participating in the settlement.
The proposed consent decree would
require Defendants to reduce emissions
of volatile organic compounds from the
plants by complying with interim limits,
and setting and complying with final
limits, on each plant’s solvent loss ratio
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(SLR). Under the terms of the consent
decree, the final solvent loss ratio for
each of the eleven soybean plants may
not exceed 0.2 gallon of solvent lost per
ton of oilseeds processed (gal/ton) or the
plant’s existing permit limit, whichever
is lower, and the final capacityweighted average SLR for the eleven
soybean plants may not exceed 0.175
gal/ton. The consent decree would limit
the SLR ratio for the corn dry mill plant
to a maximum of 0.70 gal/ton based on
content of hazardous air pollutants.
The consent decree would also
require Defendants to undertake
specified additional pollution control
projects at various plants, to reduce
emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
oxides, and particulate matter.
Defendants would also be required to
pay a civil penalty of $625,000, which
would be divided among the federal
government and the eight states, and to
spend at least $1.25 million performing
state supplemental environmental
projects to achieve additional
environmental benefits, including at
least one project in each of the eight
states.
The Department of Justice will
receive, for a period of thirty (30) days
from the date of this publication,
comments relating to the consent
decree. Comments should be addressed
to the Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, P.O. Box 7611, U.S.
Department of Justice, Washington, DC
20044–7611, and should refer to United
States v. Bunge North America, Inc.,
DOJ Ref. # 90–5–2–1–07950.
The Consent Decree may be examined
at the Office of the United States
Attorney, Central District of Illinois, 201
South Vine Street, Suite 226, Urbana,
