motion to the extent that it sought to
add claims 41, 43, 54, 58, 70, 72, 99,
101, 183, 185, 215, 216, 217 and 220 of

to the extent that it sought to (1)
Withdraw claims 1, 85, 114, 123, and
195 of the ’930 patent; (2) substitute
claim 65 for claim 1 of the ’930 patent
as the representative claim applied to
the domestic product for the patent; (3)
substitute certain exhibits; (4) withdraw
claims 3 and 4 of the ’103 patent; (5)
add claims 23, 24, and 27 of the ’103
patent; and (6) add seek a general
exclusion order.
The Commission has determined not
to review the ID.

determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in

Notice is hereby given that on
September 12, 2007, a proposed
Stipulation Relating to Proofs of Claim
for El Paso County Metals Survey Site
and Dona Ana Metal Site was filed with
the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Texas in In re.
Asarco LLC., No. 05–21207 (Bankr. S.D.
Tex.). The proposed Stipulation entered
into among the United States on behalf
of the Environmental Protection
Agency, State of New Mexico, City of El
Paso, and Asarco LLC (‘‘Asarco’’)
provides, inter alia, that the United
States estimates that the cost to Asarco
for completion of residential soils
cleanups after May 1, 2007 at the El
Paso Site in El Paso, Texas, will not
exceed $4,770,000, and that Asarco’s
estimated liability to the United States
with respect to all other response
actions or costs that may be incurred at
the El Paso Site after May 1, 2007 will
not exceed $50,000 per year. These
estimates are premised on the
assumption that Asarco will perform the
remaining work required for soil
remediation, and the Stipulation is also
without prejudice to the positions of the
United States, Asarco, and the City of El
Paso regarding the injunctive order for
work with respect to the El Paso Site.
The Department of Justice will receive
comments relating to the proposed
Stipulation for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and either e-mailed to
pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov or
mailed to P.O. Box 7611, U.S.
