ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental document
(environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement) and
notice of public meetings.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation)
proposes to prepare an environmental
document for the purpose of evaluating
options for management of natural
resources within the Newlands Project.
The purpose of the action is to
prepare a Resource Management Plan
(RMP) for the lands managed in
association with the Newlands Project.
The RMP will be used to foster proper
stewardship of public lands. The goal of
Reclamation’s RMP is to create a
balance of resource development,
recreation, and protection of natural and
cultural resources for the lands and
waters being managed. The plan will
outline Reclamation management
actions that will be implemented over a
10-year planning span.
DATES: Public scoping meetings will be
held to solicit public input on
identification of resource issues on
Newlands Project lands and features,
and for the development of alternative
management strategies for those
resources. There will be additional
opportunities to comment on the scope
of alternatives and impacts at such time
as those alternatives and impacts have
been further developed through the
RMP and NEPA process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Reclamation’s authority to prepare
RMPs is specifically outlined in the
Reclamation Recreation Management
Act of 1992 (Pub.L. 102–575, Title 28).
The Act authorized the preparation of
RMPs to ‘‘provide for the development,
use, conservation, protection,
enhancement, and management of
resources of Reclamation lands in a
manner that is compatible with the
authorized purposes of the Reclamation
Project associated with the Reclamation
lands.’’
The Newlands Project is primarily an
irrigation project as set forth in
legislation. The purposes of the
Newlands Project were expanded in
1990 under Section 209 of Public Law
101–618. In addition to the existing
irrigation purpose of the Newlands
Reclamation Project, the Secretary of
Interior is authorized to operate and
maintain the project for the purposes of:
1. Fish and wildlife, including
endangered and threatened species;
2. Municipal and industrial water
supply in Lyon and Churchill counties,
Nevada, including the Fallon Indian
Reservation;
3. Recreation;
4. Water quality; and
5. Any other purposes recognized as
beneficial under the law of the State of
Nevada.
However, additional uses of the
Newlands Project (1) Must have valid
water rights and follow State law for any
water right transfers; (2) must not
increase diversions of Truckee River
water to the Newlands Project over
those allowed under applicable

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 15, 2007 / Notices
ebenthall on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES
operating criteria and procedures; and
(3) must not conflict with applicable
court decrees.
Reclamation has a contract with the
Truckee-Carson Irrigation District to
operate and maintain the Newlands
Project Works. There is no intention to
address operation and maintenance of
Project Works through this RMP
process.
The Newlands Project RMP should
achieve the following:
1. Identify issues and set forth goals
and procedures for managing and
administering resources on public
lands.
2. Establish use levels and types of
development that protect resources and
are compatible with the uses of the
public within legal and policy
constraints; minimize conflicts among
users.
3. Provide a flexible tool for land
managers to assist in the proper
administration, day-to-day operation,
development, and management of
public lands.
4. Provide a tool to aid in setting
funding and staffing levels.
If special assistance is required at the
scoping meetings, please contact Terri
Edwards at 775–884–8353 or via e-mail
at tedwards@mp.usbr.gov. Please notify
Ms. Edwards as far in advance of the
meetings as possible to enable
Reclamation to secure the needed
services. If a request cannot be honored,
the requestor will be notified. A

Holtsville, New York. The complaint, as
amended, alleged violations of Section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 laser bar code
scanners or scan engines, components
thereof, or products containing the
same, by reason of infringement of
various claims of United States Patent
Nos. 5,457,308 (‘‘the ‘308 patent’’);
5,545,889 (‘‘the ‘889 patent’’); 6,220,514
(‘‘the ‘514 patent’’); 5,262,627 (‘‘the ‘627
patent’’); and 5,917,173 (‘‘the ‘173
patent’’). The complaint named two
respondents: Metro Technologies Co.,
Ltd. of Suzhou, China, and Metrologic
Instruments, Inc. of Blackwood, New
Jersey (collectively, ‘‘Metrologic’’).

On January 29, 2007, the ALJ issued
an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) finding a
violation of section 337 in the
importation of certain laser bar code
scanners and scan engines, components
thereof, and products containing the
same, in connection with certain
asserted claims. The ID also issued
monetary sanctions against Respondents
for discovery abuses. Complainant,
Respondents, and the Commission
investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) each filed
petitions for review of the ID on
February 8, 2007. They each filed
responses to each other’s petitions on
February 16, 2007.
The Commission determined to
review the following issues: (1) The
construction of the limitation ‘‘single,
unitary, flexural component’’ in the ‘173
patent, and related issues of
infringement, domestic industry, and
validity; (2) the construction of the
limitation ‘‘oscillatory support means’’
in the ‘627 patent, and related issues of
infringement, domestic industry, and
validity; (3) the construction of claims
in the ‘889 patent containing ‘‘central
area’’ limitations, and related issues of
infringement, domestic industry, and
validity; (4) the construction of the
‘‘scan fragment’’ limitation in the
asserted claims of the ‘308 patent; and
(5) the construction of the term
‘‘plurality’’ in the asserted claims of the
‘308 patent.
On May 30, 2007, the Commission
determined to make the following
modifications to the claim constructions
set forth in the final ID: (1) In the ‘173
patent, the ‘‘single, unitary, flexural
component’’ must include ‘‘portions
integral with each other;’’ (2) in the ‘627
patent, the ‘‘oscillatory support means’’
must oscillate; (3) the limitations in the
‘889 patent containing requirements that
the folding mirror be ‘‘near’’ or
‘‘adjacent’’ the central area of the
collecting mirror allow for the folding
mirror to be positioned close to, and
either in front of or behind, the central
area of the collecting mirror, but do not
allow it to be mounted to the collecting
mirror outside of the central area; (4)
‘‘scan fragment,’’ as used in the ‘308
patent, means ‘‘a scan that reads less
than all of a bar code symbol and that
would have been discarded before the
advent of scan-stitching techniques;’’
and (5) the term ‘‘plurality’’ in the ‘308
patent means ‘‘two or more.’’
These changes did not affect the ALJ’s
findings on validity, infringement, or
domestic industry. The Commission
therefore affirmed those findings, as
well as his finding of a violation of
section 337 by Metrologic with regard to
claim 48 of the ‘627 patent and claims
17 and 18 of the ‘173 patent. Consistent
