Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Notices
In connection with the final
disposition of this investigation, the
Commission may (1) issue an order that
could result in the exclusion of the
subject articles from entry into the
United States, and/or (2) issue one or
more cease and desist orders that could
result in the respondent(s) being
required to cease and desist from
engaging in unfair acts in the
importation and sale of such articles.
Accordingly, in addition to the issues
identified above, the Commission is
interested in receiving written
submissions that address the form of
remedy, if any, that should be ordered.
If a party seeks exclusion of an article
from entry into the United States for
purposes other than entry for
consumption, the party should so
indicate and provide information
establishing that activities involving
other types of entry either are adversely
affecting it or likely to do so. For
background, see In the Matter of Certain
Devices for Connecting Computers via
Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360,
USITC Pub. No. 2843 (December 1994)
(Commission Opinion).
If the Commission contemplates some
form of remedy, it must consider the
effects of that remedy upon the public
interest. The factors the Commission
will consider include the effect that an
exclusion order and/or cease and desist
orders would have on (1) the public
health and welfare, (2) competitive
conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S.
production of articles that are like or
directly competitive with those that are
subject to investigation, and (4) U.S.
consumers. The Commission is
therefore interested in receiving written
submissions that address the
aforementioned public interest factors
in the context of this investigation.
If the Commission orders some form
of remedy, the U.S. Trade
Representative, as delegated by the
President, has 60 days to approve or
disapprove the Commission’s action.
See Presidential Memorandum of July
21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005).
During this period, the subject articles
would be entitled to enter the United
States under bond, in an amount
determined by the Commission. The
Commission is therefore interested in
receiving submissions concerning the
amount of the bond that should be
imposed if a remedy is ordered.
Written Submissions: The parties to
the investigation are requested to file
written submissions on only the issues
identified in this notice. Parties to the
investigation, interested government
agencies, and any other interested
parties are encouraged to file written
submissions on the issues of remedy,

the public interest, and bonding. Such
submissions should address the ALJ’s
recommendation on remedy and
bonding. Complainants and the
Commission investigative attorney are
also requested to submit proposed
remedial orders for the Commission’s
consideration. Complainants are also
requested to state the dates that each of
the asserted patents are set to expire and
the HTSUS numbers under which the
accused products are imported. The
written submissions and proposed
remedial orders must be filed no later
than close of business on Friday, March
2, 2012. Reply submissions must be
filed no later than the close of business
on Friday, March 9, 2012. No further
submissions on these issues will be
permitted unless otherwise ordered by
the Commission.
Persons filing written submissions
must file the original document and 8
true copies thereof on or before the
deadlines stated above with the Office
of the Secretary. Any person desiring to
submit a document to the Commission
in confidence must request confidential
treatment unless the information has
already been granted such treatment
during the proceedings. All such
requests should be directed to the
Secretary of the Commission and must
include a full statement of the reasons
why the Commission should grant such
treatment. See 19 CFR 210.6. Documents
for which confidential treatment by the
Commission is sought will be treated
accordingly. All nonconfidential written
submissions will be available for public
inspection at the Office of the Secretary.
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 Part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: February 21, 2012.
James R. Holbein,
Secretary to the Commission.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor
(the Department) announces the
availability of up to $500 million in
grant funds to be awarded under the
Trade Adjustment Assistance
Community College and Career Training
(TAACCCT) grants program. The
TAACCCT grants program provides
eligible institutions of higher education,
as defined in section 102 of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002),
with funds to expand and improve their
ability to deliver education and career
training programs that can be completed
in two years or less, and are suited for
workers who are eligible for training
under the Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) for Workers Program (‘‘TAAeligible workers’’) of the Trade Act of
1974 (as amended) 19 U.S.C. 2271–
2323, as well as other adults. Eligible
institutions may be located in the 50
States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico or the U.S. territories; however, the
competitiveness of institutions in the
U.S. territories under this SGA may be
impacted by their limited opportunity to
serve TAA-eligible workers.
The Department intends to fund
multi-year grants to eligible institutions
for either developing new education and
career training program strategies or for
replicating existing evidence-based
design, development, and/or delivery
strategies for such programs.
In accordance with the TAACCCT
requirement that each state receive at
least 0.5 percent of the approximately
$500 million total amount of funds
available under this SGA, the
Department intends to fund grants of
$2.5 to $3.0 million to applicants from
each State, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. In addition to grants of $2.5
to $3.0 million to individual applicants,
the Department intends to fund grants of
$5 million to $15 million to consortium
applicants that propose programs that
will impact TAA-eligible workers and
other adults across a state, region or
regions, industry sector or cluster of
related industries. Eligible institutions
that received individual grants or were
the ‘‘lead institution’’ under the
Solicitation for Grant Applications for
TAACCCT Grants Program Funding
Opportunity Number: SGA/DFA PY 10–
03, dated January 20, 2011, are not
eligible to apply for grants under this
SGA, however, may serve as member
institutions in a consortium application
under this SGA.

collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments

‘‘General Inquiries to State Agency
Contacts.’’ A copy of the proposed
information collection request (ICR) can
be obtained by contacting the individual
listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
