Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337, in the sale for importation,
importation, or sale after importation of
certain reduced ignition proclivity
cigarette paper wrappers and products
containing same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 5,878,753 (‘‘the ’753

identified investigation. Specifically,
the ALJ found that there was no
violation with respect to either the ’753
patent or the ’867 patent by Glatz. The
ALJ also issued a recommended
determination on remedy, the public
interest, and bonding.
Schweitzer filed a petition for review
of the final ID. Glatz filed a contingent
petition for review. Each of the parties
filed a response to the petition and
contingent petition for review.
On April 2, 2012, the Commission
issued notice of its determination to
review the final ID in part, and to solicit
briefing on certain issues including on
remedy, the public interest, and
bonding. With respect to the ’753
patent, the Commission determined to
review the construction of the term
‘‘gradually’’ in the asserted claims and
the issues of direct and indirect
infringement, obviousness, definiteness,
utility, and the technical prong of the
domestic industry requirement in the
ID. With respect to the ’867 patent, the
Commission determined to review the
construction of the term ‘‘film forming
composition’’ in the asserted claims and
the issues of direct and indirect
infringement, priority date, statutory bar
under 35 U.S.C. 102(b), anticipation,
obviousness, written description,
enablement, and the technical prong of
the domestic industry requirement in
the ID.
Having reviewed the final ID, the
submissions on review, and the record,
the Commission has determined to
terminate the investigation with a final
determination of no violation of section
337.

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337),
and under sections 210.42–.46, .51(a) of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (19 CFR 210.42–.46, .51(a)).

This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1220–0168. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
August 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.

11593).
Interested parties are encouraged to

this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate

0168. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
