The EIS evaluates eight alternatives, and identifies the Preferred Alternative as Alternative 8, a one-year plan to allow oversnow vehicle use in the park for the winter of 2011/2012, at the same levels (up to 318 commercially guided, best available technology snowmobiles and 78 commercially guided snowcoaches per day) that were allowed under the interim regulation in place for the winters of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. NPS intends to supplement this EIS next year, in order to make a long-term decision prior to the 2012/ 2013 winter season. DATES: The National Park Service will execute a Record of Decision no sooner than 30 days following publication by the Environmental Protection Agency of the Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement. ADDRESSES: Information will be available for public inspection online at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/YELL (click on the link to the Winter Use Plan), and in the office of Superintendent Dan Wenk, Yellowstone National Park, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 82190. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wade Vagias, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190,(307) 344– 2035, yell_winter_use@nps.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Eight alternatives were considered in the EIS. For alternatives 1–7 the analysis is for a presumed implementation period of 20 years. For Alternative 8 the analysis is for an implementation period of one year. Alternative 1 is the no-action alternative. Alternative 1 would not permit public motorized vehicle use, including oversnow vehicle (OSV) use, in Yellowstone but would allow for approved non-motorized use to continue. Alternative 1 has been identified as the Environmentally Preferable Alternative. Alternative 2 would continue OSV use at the same levels as the 2009 interim rule (318 snowmobiles and 78 snowcoaches per day) for the long term. Alternative 3 would allow for snowmobile and snowcoach use levels to increase to the levels set forth in the 2004 plan (720 snowmobiles and 78 snowcoaches per day). Alternative 4 would allow for commercially guided wheeled vehicles, in addition to OSVs (100 commercially guided wheeled vehicles, 110 snowmobiles, and 30 snowcoaches per day). Alternative 5 would initially allow for the same level of use as Alternative 2 (318 snowmobiles and 78 snowcoaches per day), but would provide for a transition to snowcoaches only, if user demand is present to VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:06 Nov 03, 2011 Jkt 226001 support such a transition, or at the discretion of the Superintendent. Upon complete transition, there could be zero snowmobiles and up to 120 snowcoaches per day. Alternative 6 would provide for use levels that vary each day, with a seasonal limit of up to 32,000 snowmobiles and 4,600 snowcoaches, and a daily limit of up to 540 snowmobiles and 78 snowcoaches. Up to 25 percent of snowmobile permits under Alternative 6 would be for unguided or non-commercially guided use. Alternative 7 would provide a variety of use levels and experiences for visitors. Four different use levels for snowmobiles and snowcoaches would be implemented, the combination of which could vary by day. Snowmobile use would range from 110 to 330 vehicles per day and snowcoach use would range from 30 to 80 vehicles per day. The Preferred Alternative is Alternative 8. A portion of the prior preferred alternative in the Draft EIS (DEIS) consisted of a ‘‘transition year’’; that portion has now been converted into a new separate Alternative 8. Under this alternative up to 318 commercially guided, best available technology snowmobiles and 78 commercially guided snowcoaches would be allowed in the park per day, and a variety of non-motorized uses would also be allowed. These conditions would be in effect only for the 2011/2012 winter season. NPS will then supplement the EIS next year and issue a new decision and long-term rule for winter use in time for the 2012/2013 season. NPS had intended to issue a final EIS and final long-term regulation for Yellowstone winter use by December 2011. However, some of the more than 59,000 public comments received on the Draft EIS (DEIS) have raised additional questions as to long-term effects and options. In order to make a reasoned, sustainable long-term decision, NPS requires additional time to update its analyses and make that long-term decision. NPS has previously stated its intent to implement a ‘‘transition year’’ under the same requirements and restrictions as the 2009 interim regulation. Current information and analyses in this EIS are sufficient to support such use for another year. Selecting Alternative 8, the new Preferred Alternative, would provide the additional time needed to complete the analyses of long-term alternatives. NPS would issue a Record of Decision selecting Alternative 8, and following that, would issue a final rule, effective for one year, to implement the decision. A separate Notice of Intent to Prepare a PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Supplemental EIS would be published in the Federal Register. More information regarding Yellowstone in the winter, including educational materials and a detailed history of winter use in Yellowstone, is available at https://www.nps.gov/yell/ planvisit/winteruse/index.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 30, 2008, based on a complaint filed by John Mezzalingua 
Associates, Inc., d/b/a PPC, Inc. of East Syracuse, New York (``PPC''). 
73 FR 31145 (May 30, 2008). The complaint alleged

[[Page 68505]]

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 coaxial 
cable connectors and components thereof and products containing the 
same by reason of infringement of various patents, including U.S. 
Patent No. 6,558,194 (``the '194 patent''). The complaint named eight 
respondents. After institution, two respondents were terminated based 
on consent orders and four respondents were found to be in default 
(``defaulting respondents''). Two respondents, Fu-Ching Technical 
Industry, Co., Ltd., and Gem Electronics, Inc., remained active.
    On October 13, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge (``ALJ'') issued 
his final initial determination (``ID'') and recommended determination 
on remedy and bonding. The ALJ found a violation of section 337 by the 
defaulting respondents in connection with the '194 patent. On December 
14, 2009, the Commission determined to review the final ID in part, but 
the Commission did not review the ALJ's determination with respect to 
the '194 patent. On March 31, 2010, the Commision issued a General 
Exclusion Order with respect to the '194 patent. The Commission issued 
a general exclusion order with respect to U.S. Patent No. 5,470,257 on 
September 13, 2011 following remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for 
the Federal Circuit. John Mezzalingua Assoc. v. Int'l Trade Comm., 2011 
U.S. App. Lexis 8806 (Fed. Cir. April 28, 2011).
    On September 12, 2011, non-respondent, Holland Electronics, LLC 
(``Holland'') of Ventura, California filed a request for an advisory 
opinion under Commission Rule 210.79 (19 CFR 210.79) that would declare 
that its coaxial cable connectors, utilizing an axial but not radial 
compression for deformation (``axial connectors''), are outside of the 
scope of the Commission's March 31, 2010 General Exclusion Order. 
Holland further requested that the Commission conduct all proceedings 
related to the advisory opinion in an expedited manner and indicated 
that referral to the ALJ is unnecessary.
    The Commission has examined Holland's request for an advisory 
opinion and has determined that it complies with the requirements for 
institution of an advisory opinion proceeding under Commission Rule 
210.79(a). Accordingly, the Commission has determined to institute an 
advisory opinion proceeding. The Commission directs complainant PPC and 
the Commission investigative attorney to state their views regarding 
whether they oppose Holland's request for an advisory opinion that its 
axial connectors are not covered by the March 31, 2010 General 
Exclusion Order, and if so, whether they believe the matter should be 
referred to the ALJ.
    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 section 210.79(a) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.79(a)).

    By order of the Commission.
