winter while continuing to support the
Sublette Mule Deer Study (Questar
Year-Round Drilling Proposal
Environmental Assessment, November
2004).
Since then other operators within the
Pinedale Anticline have expressed
interest in conducting gas development
activities including year-round drilling
within big game crucial winter range. In
the summer of 2005, Anschutz, Shell,
and Ultra submitted a proposal to the
BLM for year-round drilling
demonstration project on three well
pads within their leaseholds during one
year. In September 2005, BLM issued a
Decision Record to allow them to
proceed (ASU Year-Round Drilling
Demonstration Project, September
2005). The Decision Record allowed
each of the three operators to drill yearround on one well pad each on crucial
winter range during the winter of 2005–
2006. The result of that project led the
Operators to the current proposal and to
BLM’s determination that a
Supplemental EIS is necessary. The
PAPA encompasses approximately
198,034 acres of primarily Federal lands
(nearly 80 percent), and state and
private land. Approximately 83 percent
of the mineral estate underlying the
PAPA is federally-owned.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
21, 2005, the Commission instituted an
investigation under section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based
on a complaint filed by Broadcom
Corporation (‘‘Broadcom’’) of Irvine,
California, alleging a violation of section
337 in the importation, sale for
importation, and sale within the United
States after importation of certain
baseband processor chips and chipsets,
transmitter and receiver (radio) chips,
power control chips, and products
containing same, including cellular
telephone handsets by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 6,374,311; 6,714,983 (‘‘the
’983 patent’’); 5,682,379 (‘‘the ’379
patent’’); 6,359,872 (‘‘the ’872 patent’’);

respondent. The ’379 patent and ’872
patent were terminated from this
investigation.
On October 19, 2006, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
an Initial Determination on Violation of
Section 337 and Recommended
Determination on Remedy and Bond
(‘‘ID’’), finding a violation of section 337
as to the ’983 patent only. On December
8, 2006, the Commission issued a notice
of its decision to review and modify in
part the ALJ’s final ID. The modification
made by the Commission did not affect
the finding of violation.

Jkt 214001
On March 21–22, 2007, the
Commission held a public hearing on
the issues of remedy and the public
interest. Subsequently, the Commission
extended the target date for completion
of this investigation to June 7, 2007.
On June 7, 2007, the Commission
issued a limited exclusion order, with
certain exemptions, prohibiting the
importation of Qualcomm’s baseband
processor chips or chipsets, including
chips or chipsets incorporated into
circuit board modules and carriers, that
are programmed to enable the power
saving features covered by claims 1, 4,
8, 9, or 11 of the ’983 patent, as well as
handheld wireless communication
devices, including cellular telephone
handsets and PDAs, containing
Qualcomm baseband processor chips or
chipsets that are programmed to enable
the power saving features covered by
these claims. The Commission also
issued a cease and desist order that
prohibits Qualcomm from engaging in
certain activities in the United States
related to the infringing chips.
On November 9, 2007, complainant
Broadcom filed a complaint for
enforcement proceedings under
Commission Rule 210.75. Broadcom
asserts that respondent Qualcomm has
violated the Commission’s cease and
desist order by continued marketing of
infringing, imported baseband processor
chips and chipsets, and continued
testing and programming of imported
baseband processor chips and chipsets
to transform them into infringing
products. On December 5 and 7, 2007,
respectively, Qualcomm filed a letter
opposing institution of Broadcom’s
complaint, and Broadcom filed a letter
in response to Qualcomm’s opposition.
Having examined the complaint
seeking a formal enforcement
proceeding, and having found that the
complaint complies with the
requirements for institution of a formal
enforcement proceeding contained in
Commission rule 210.75, the
Commission has determined to institute
formal enforcement proceedings to
determine whether Qualcomm is in
violation of the Commission’s cease and
desist order issued in the investigation,
and what, if any, enforcement measures
are appropriate. The following entities
are named as parties to the formal
enforcement proceeding: (1)
Complainant Broadcom, (2) respondent
Qualcomm, and (3) a Commission
investigative attorney to be designated

Investigations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 21, 2005, the Commission instituted
an investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C.
1337, based on a complaint filed by Broadcom Corporation (``Broadcom'')
of Irvine, California, alleging a violation of section 337 in the
importation, sale for importation, and sale within the United States
after importation of certain baseband processor chips and chipsets,
transmitter and receiver (radio) chips, power control chips, and
products containing same, including cellular telephone handsets by
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,374,311;
6,714,983 (``the '983 patent''); 5,682,379 (``the '379 patent'');
6,359,872 (``the '872 patent''); and 6,583,675. 70 Fed. Reg. 35707
(June 21, 2005). The complainant named Qualcomm Incorporated
(``Qualcomm'') of San Diego, California as the only respondent. The
'379 patent and '872 patent were terminated from this investigation.
On October 19, 2006, the presiding administrative law judge
(``ALJ'') issued an Initial Determination on Violation of Section 337
and Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bond (``ID''), finding a
violation of section 337 as to the '983 patent only. On December 8,
2006, the Commission issued a notice of its decision to review and
modify in part the ALJ's final ID. The modification made by the
Commission did not affect the finding of violation.
On March 21-22, 2007, the Commission held a public hearing on the
issues of remedy and the public interest. Subsequently, the Commission
extended the target date for completion of this investigation to June
7, 2007.
On June 7, 2007, the Commission issued a limited exclusion order,
with certain exemptions, prohibiting the importation of Qualcomm's
baseband processor chips or chipsets, including chips or chipsets
incorporated into circuit board modules and carriers, that are
programmed to enable the power saving features covered by claims 1, 4,
8, 9, or 11 of the '983 patent, as well as handheld wireless
communication devices, including cellular telephone handsets and PDAs,
containing Qualcomm baseband processor chips or chipsets that are
programmed to enable the power saving features covered by these claims.
The Commission also issued a cease and desist order that prohibits
Qualcomm from engaging in certain activities in the United States
related to the infringing chips.
On November 9, 2007, complainant Broadcom filed a complaint for
enforcement proceedings under Commission Rule 210.75. Broadcom asserts
that respondent Qualcomm has violated the Commission's cease and desist
order by continued marketing of infringing, imported baseband processor
chips and chipsets, and continued testing and programming of imported
baseband processor chips and chipsets to transform them into infringing
products. On December 5 and 7, 2007, respectively, Qualcomm filed a
letter opposing institution of Broadcom's complaint, and Broadcom filed
a letter in response to Qualcomm's opposition.
Having examined the complaint seeking a formal enforcement
proceeding, and having found that the complaint complies with the
requirements for institution of a formal enforcement proceeding
contained in Commission rule 210.75, the Commission has determined to
institute formal enforcement proceedings to determine whether Qualcomm
is in violation of the Commission's cease and desist order issued in
the investigation, and what, if any, enforcement measures are
appropriate. The following entities are named as parties to the formal
enforcement proceeding: (1) Complainant Broadcom, (2) respondent
Qualcomm, and (3) a Commission investigative attorney to be designated
by the Director, Office of Unfair Import Investigations.
The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in
