SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on April 6, 2009, based on a complaint
filed on March 2, 2009, by Gertrude
Neumark Rothschild of Hartsdale, New
York. 74 FR 15520–21 (April 6, 2009).
The complaint 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 light emitting diode chips, laser
diode chips, and products containing
same by reason of infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent No.
5,252,499. The complaint further alleges
that an industry in the United States
exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of
section 337. The complaint names
numerous respondents.
On October 30, 2009, complainant
Rothschild and respondent Dalian
Lumei jointly moved to terminate the
investigation as to Dalian Lumei based
on a settlement agreement. In the same
motion, complainant moved for the
termination of the investigation in its
entirety. The Commission investigative
attorney supported the motion.
On November 13, 2009, the ALJ
issued an ID (Order No. 29) granting the
motion. No party petitioned for review
of the ID, and the Commission has
determined not to review it.
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
sections 210.21 and 210.42(h) of the

In accordance with Departmental

combined sewer overflows (‘‘CSOs’’)

and eliminate sanitary sewer overflows
(‘‘SSOs’’) and other unauthorized
discharges from the sewer system was
lodged with the Court in United States
and Commonwealth of Kentucky v. The
Louisville and Jefferson County
Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) Civil
Action No. 3:08–CV–608–CRS, Western
District of Kentucky, Louisville
Division. Pursuant to the Amended
Consent Decree entered by the Court on
April 15, 2009, the IOAP constitutes a
material amendment to the Consent
Decree, affording the public an
opportunity to provide comments on it
prior to it being submitted to the Court
for approval.
The Amended Consent Decree
required that MSD submit plans to
control CSOs and eliminated SSOs and
other unauthorized discharges from the
sewer system. MSD integrated those
plans into the IOAP, which includes a
Long Term Control Plan (‘‘LTCP’’) and
a Sanitary Sewer Discharge Plan
(‘‘SSDP’’). The IOAP was drafted by
MSD’s Wet Weather Team which
included a broad range of stakeholders,
MSD staff and consultants. The IOAP
was presented to the MSD Board on
October 7, 2008, and at several public
meetings on November 10, 12 and 20,
2008. MSD held a public hearing to
receive both written and oral public
comments on the IOAP on December 2,
2008, and concluding on December 5,
2008.
MSD submitted the IOAP to the
United States Environmental Protection
Agency (‘‘EPA’’) and the
Commonwealth of Kentucky’s
Environmental and Public Protection
Cabinet (‘‘KDEP’’) on December 19,
2008, as required by the Consent Decree.
Following review of the IOAP, EPA and
KDEP requested clarifications and
revisions regarding the IOAP’s
regulatory compliance approach,
proposed level of overflow control,
schedule and budgets. MSD submitted
revisions to the IOAP on June 19, 2009,
and August 21, 2009. EPA and KDEP
sent a conditional letter of approval to
MSD on October 23, 2009.
The IOAP is a long-term plan to
control CSOs and eliminate SSOs and
other unauthorized discharges of sewage
and partially treated sewage in the
community. The IOAP is expected to
improve water quality in both Jefferson
County, Kentucky and the Ohio River.
The expected water quality benefits of
the IOAP include reductions in the peak
levels of bacteria in the Ohio River,
Beargrass Creek, and other Jefferson
County waterways as well as a
reduction in the duration of wet weather
impairment of local waterways (i.e., the
number of days that bacteria levels
VerDate Nov<24>2008
13:19 Dec 16, 2009
Jkt 220001
exceed water quality standards during
periods of wet weather). The IOAP, in
coordination with other community
water initiatives, will also improve
water quality ambient conditions.
From projects selected for the LTCP,
MSD anticipates approximately 96
percent capture and treatment of wet
weather combined sewage during an
average year. Remaining CSO loads
(after removing background) are
estimated to no longer cause water
quality standard violations in the Ohio
River and peak fecal coliform counts are
modeled to be reduced by 54 percent. At
the mouth of Beargrass Creek, peak
coliform counts are modeled to be
reduced by 18 percent.
From projects selected for the SSDP,
MSD anticipates elimination of 145 SSO
events per year based on 2005–2007
data; elimination of an average of 290
million gallons of overflow volume per
year (based on average of 2005–2007
normalized for rainfall); elimination of
100 tons of 5-day biochemical oxygen
demand (‘‘BOD5’’); and, elimination of
almost 200 tons of solids annually.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the IOAP. 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.
Department of Justice, Washington, DC
20044–7611, and should refer to United
States and Commonwealth of Kentucky
v. The Louisville and Jefferson County
Sewer District, DOJ # 90–5–1–1–08254/

MSD Building, 700 West Liberty,
Louisville, KY 40202. During the public
comment period, the IOAP, may also be
examined at the Main Library located at
301 York Street, Louisville, KY 40203,
and MSD’s Web site which is https://
www.msdlouky.org/projectwin/.
The IOAP and all of its exhibits are
too numerous and voluminous for filing
with the Court. Instead of filing the
entire IOAP, MSD filed the Executive
Summaries of the IOAP, LTCP and
SSDP. MSD has placed copies of the
entire IOAP and all of the exhibits in
places accessible by the public. During
the public comment period, the IOAP
may be examined at the MSD Building,
700 West Liberty, Louisville, KY 40202.
The IOAP may also be examined at the
Louisville Free Public Library located at
301 York Street, Louisville, KY 40203,
and the branch libraries as well as

Notice of Lodging of Amended Consent Decree Under the Clean Water
Act (CWA)
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that on December 7, 2009, a proposed Integrated Overflow
Abatement Plan (``IOAP'') to control combined sewer overflows

Pursuant to the Amended Consent Decree entered by the Court on April
