VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:00 Nov 14, 2006 Jkt 211001 The Commission instituted this investigation on March 14, 2006, based on a complaint filed by Roadmaster (USA) Corporation (‘‘Roadmaster’’) of Eatontown, New Jersey. 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 portable power stations and packaging therefor by reason of infringement of U.S. Design Patent No. D469,730; U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2,594,538; and U.S. Copyright Registration No. VA–1–261– 495. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The Commission’s notice of investigation names Sinochem Ningbo, Ltd. (‘‘Sinochem’’), of Ningbo, China, as the only respondent. The administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an initial determination on July 12, 2006, finding Sinochem in default, because the respondent failed to reply to the complaint or notice of investigation, and also failed to reply to a show cause order issued by the ALJ on May 24, 2006. The Commission declined to review the ALJ’s determination that the respondent Sinochem defaulted. On August 23, 2006, the Commission issued a notice requesting briefing on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding relating to the default finding of unlawful importation and sale of infringing products by Sinochem. 71 FR 51210 (Aug. 29, 2006). Complainant submitted a brief along with a proposed order on September 5, 2006. The Commission investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) also submitted a brief along with a proposed order on September 6, 2006, and further submitted a reply brief on September 13, 2006. The Complainant chose not to file a reply brief. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the submissions of the parties, the Commission has determined that each of the statutory requirements of section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1), has been met with respect to defaulting respondent Sinochem. Accordingly, pursuant to section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1) and Commission Rule 210.16(c), 19 CFR 210.16(c), the Commission presumed the facts alleged in the complaint to be true. The Commission determined that the appropriate form of relief in this investigation is a limited exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry of portable power stations and packaging therefor covered by U.S. Design Patent No. D469,739; U.S. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Trademark Registration No. 2,594,538; or U.S. Copyright Registration No. VA– 1–261–495 that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or imported by or on behalf of, Sinochem or any of its affiliated companies, parents, subsidiaries, or other related business entities, or their successors or assigns. The Commission further determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1), do not preclude issuance of the limited exclusion order. Finally, the Commission determined that the amount of bond to permit temporary importation during the Presidential review period, under 19 U.S.C. 1337(j), shall be in the amount of 100 percent of the entered value of the infringing imported portable power stations and packaging therefor. The Commission’s order was delivered to the President and the United States Trade Representative on the day of its issuance. 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 section 210.16(c) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.16(c)). By order of the Commission. Issued: November 9, 2006. Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc.

Description: On January 29, 2001, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13198, creating the Office for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in the White House and centers for faith-based and community initiatives (CFBCI) in the Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Education (ED), and Justice (DOJ). President Bush charged the departmental centers with identifying statutory, regulatory, and bureaucratic barriers that stand in the way of effective faith-based and community organizations, and to ensure, consistent with the law, that these organizations have equal opportunity to compete for Federal funding and other support. In early 2002, the CFBCI and ETA developed and issued Solicitations for PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 66555 Grant Application (SGA) to engage grassroots organizations in our workforce system-building. These SGAs were designed to assist faith-based and community organizations in delivering social services and strengthening their existing partnerships with the local One-Stop Career Center system, while providing additional points of entry for customers into that system. These 2002 grants embodied the Department’s principal strategy for implementing the Executive Order: Creating new avenues through which qualified organizations could participate more fully under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), while applying their particular strengths and assets in providing services to our customers. These solicitations also were derived from an ETA–CFBCI mutual premise that the involvement of faith-based and community organizations can both complement and supplement the efforts of local workforce investment systems in being accessible to and serving the training, job and career-support needs of many of our citizens. Many faith-based and community organizations offer unique services and support networks that can contribute to our mutual system-building endeavors; are trusted institutions within our poorest neighborhoods; and are home to a large number of volunteers who bring not only the transformational power of personal relationships to the provision of social service, but also a sustained allegiance to the well-being and selfsufficiency of the participants they serve. Through their daily work and specific programs, these organizations strive to achieve some common purposes shared with government— reduction of welfare dependency, attainment of occupational skills, and entry and retention of all our citizens in good-paying jobs. The President’s Management Agenda direct the Department of Labor Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to evaluate and examine the impact and outcomes of departmental programs that include faith-based and community non-profit organizations (FBCO). DOL CFBCI intends to use this data to examine the impact that receiving and managing Federal grants has on grassroots, faith-based and community organizations. Faith-based and community organizations benefit from having equal access to Federal funds. DOL CFBCI intends to use this data to examine the extent to which faith-based and community organizations are able to use the Federal funds (awarded through the ETA Grants for Grassroots Organizations from 2002 to 2005) as leverage to E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM 15NON1
