Four of these non-hour cost burdens are cost recovery fees. They consist of fees being submitted with EP’s, DPP’s or DOCD’s, DWOP’s, and CID’s. There are also three non-hour cost burdens that are associated with the Protected Species Observer Program. The costs associated with this program are due to activities that are, for the most part, subcontracted to other service companies with expertise in these areas. To allow for inhouse training by lessees/operators, we have retained a minimal hour burden in the burden table for the Protected Species Observer Program training requirement. Since all the observation duty and reporting would be done while on the vessel and by contractors, these requirements were calculated as nonhour burden costs. See the hours, fees, and costs in the burden table. We estimate that the annual non-hour cost burden is $4,853,530. We have not identified any other ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with this collection of information. Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond. Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide notice * * * and otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of information * * *’’ Agencies must specifically solicit comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the agency to perform its duties, including whether the information is useful; (b) evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. To comply with the public consultation process, on November 15, 2007, we published a Federal Register notice (72 FR 64238) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB for approval. The notice provided the required 60-day comment period. In addition, 250.199 provides the OMB VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:23 May 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 control number for the information collection requirements imposed by the 30 CFR 250 regulations and forms. The regulation also informs the public that they may comment at any time on the collections of information and provides the address to which they should send comments. We have received no comments in response to these efforts. If you wish to comment in response to this notice, you may send your comments to the offices listed under the ADDRESSES section of this notice. The OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove the information collection but may respond after 30 days. Therefore, to ensure maximum consideration, OMB should receive public comments by June 19, 2008. Public Availability of Comments: Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on November 13, 2006, based on a complaint filed on October 6, 2006, and supplemented on October 27 and 30, 2006, by Fluke Corp. of Everett, Washington, alleging violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain digital multimeters and products with multimeter functionality by reason of infringement of United States Trademark Registration No. 2,796,480 (‘‘the ‘480 mark’’) and also by reason of infringement of trade dress, the threat or effect of which is to destroy or substantially injure an industry in the United States. 71 FR 661940 (November 13, 2006). Complainant requested that the Commission issue a general exclusion order and cease and desist orders. The complaint named eighteen respondents in China, Hong Kong, and the United States. Fourteen respondents were terminated from the investigation by settlement agreement, consent order, or both. The four remaining respondents were found in default. On July 3, 2007, complainant filed a motion seeking summary determination of violation of section 337. On January 14, 2008, the presiding administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) granting complainant’s motion for summary determination of violation of section 337 as to the four defaulting respondents.

The Commission has further determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1)) do not preclude issuance of the general exclusion order. Finally, the Commission determined that the amount of bond to permit temporary importation during the Presidential review period (19 U.S.C. *1337(j)) shall be in the amount of 100 percent of the value of the digital multimeters that are subject to the order.

The complaint, as supplemented, 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 dynamic random access memory devices and products containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,115,344 and 7,116,128.

and supplemented on October 27 and 30, 2006, by Fluke Corp. of Everett, 
Washington, alleging violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930 in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain digital multimeters and products with multimeter functionality 
by reason of infringement of United States Trademark Registration No.

multimeters that infringe the `480 mark or Fluke's protected trade 
dress and cease and desist orders directed to Electronix Express and

    The Commission has further determined that the public interest 
factors enumerated in section 337(d)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1)) do not 
preclude issuance of the general exclusion order. Finally, the 
Commission determined that the amount of bond to permit temporary

shall be in the amount of 100 percent of the value of the digital 
multimeters that are subject to the order. The Commission's order and 
opinion were delivered to the President and to the United States Trade 
Representative on the day of their issuance.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in
