SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEM
developed this Final Supplemental EIS
in advance of proposed WPA Lease Sale
233 and proposed CPA Lease Sale 231
to consider new information made
available since completion of the 2012–
2017 Multisale EIS and to consider new
information available regarding the
Deepwater Horizon explosion, oil spill,
and cleanup; surveys of scientific
journals and available scientific data
and information from academic
institutions and Federal, State, and local
agencies. This Final Supplemental EIS
provides updates on the baseline
conditions and potential environmental
effects of oil and natural gas leasing,
exploration, development, and
production in the WPA and CPA. BOEM
conducted an extensive search for new
information, including but not limited
to information related to the Deepwater
Horizon explosion, oil spill, and
cleanup. Subject-matter experts
surveyed scientific journals and
available scientific data, gathered
information, and interviewed personnel
from academic institutions and Federal,
State, and local agencies. BOEM has
examined the potential impacts of
routine activities and accidental events,
including a possible low-probability,
castastrophic event associated with a
proposed lease sale, and the incremental
contribution of a proposed lease sale to
the cumulative impacts on
environmental and socioeconomic
resources. The oil and gas resource
estimates and scenario information for
this Final Supplemental EIS are
presented as a range that would
encompass the resources and activities
estimated for a WPA and CPA proposed
lease sale.
Final Supplemental EIS Availability:
BOEM has printed and will distribute a
limited number of paper copies of the
EIS. In keeping with the Department of
the Interior’s mission to protect natural
resources and to limit costs while
ensuring availability of the document to

Interior, or pursuant to delegated or
redelegated authority, the Commissioner
of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances,
congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and

modification, and (ii) the degree of
public interest which has been
expressed over the course of the

persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by

terminal on (202) 205–1810.
The
Commission instituted this investigation
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, on January 13,
2012, based on a complaint filed by
Knowles Electronics LLC of Itasca,
Illinois (‘‘Knowles’’). The complaint, as
supplemented, alleges a violation of
section 337 by reason of infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
7,439,616 and 8,018,049, 77 FR 2087
(Jan. 13, 2012). The respondents are
Analog Devices Inc. of Norwood,
Massachusetts (‘‘ADI’’); Amkor
Technology, Inc. of Chandler, Arizona;
and Avnet, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona
(collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’). Id.
Subsequently, some of the claims in
both of the asserted patents were
terminated from the investigation.
On March 12, 2013, complainant
Knowles and Respondents filed a joint
motion to terminate this investigation
based on a settlement agreement
between Knowles and ADI. On the same
day, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 21)
granting the motion. The ALJ found that
termination of the investigation based
on settlement did not impose any undue
burdens on the public health and
welfare, competitive conditions in the
United States economy or United States
consumers. No party petitioned for
review of the ID, and the Commission
has determined not to review it. The
investigation has been terminated.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of contractual actions that have been

of this publication, future notices during this calendar year will be
limited to new, modified, discontinued, or completed contract actions.
This annual notice should be used as a point of reference to identify
changes in future notices. This notice is one of a variety of means
used to inform the public about proposed contractual actions for
capital recovery and management of project resources and facilities
consistent with section 9(f) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939.
Additional announcements of individual contract actions may be
published in the Federal Register and in newspapers of general
circulation in the areas determined by Reclamation to be affected by
the proposed action.
ADDRESSES: The identity of the approving officer and other information
pertaining to a specific contract proposal may be obtained by calling
or writing the appropriate regional office at the address and telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with section 9(f) of the
Reclamation Project Act of 1939 and the rules and regulations published
in 52 FR 11954, April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), Reclamation will
publish notice of proposed or amendatory contract actions for any
contract for the delivery of project water for authorized uses in
newspapers of general circulation in the affected area at least 60 days
prior to contract execution. Announcements may be in the form of news
releases, legal notices, official letters, memorandums, or other forms
of written material. Meetings, workshops, and/or hearings may also be
used, as appropriate, to provide local publicity. The public
participation procedures do not apply to proposed contracts for the
sale of surplus or interim irrigation water for a term of 1 year or
less. Either of the contracting parties may invite the public to
observe contract proceedings. All public participation procedures will
be coordinated with those involved in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to the ``Final Revised Public
Participation Procedures'' for water resource-related contract
negotiations, published in 47 FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation
is provided of all proposed contractual actions in each of the five
Reclamation regions. When contract negotiations are completed, and
prior to execution, each proposed contract form must be approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, or pursuant to delegated or redelegated
authority, the Commissioner of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances, congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and conditions of the contract may
be involved.
Public participation in and receipt of comments on contract
proposals will be facilitated by adherence to the following procedures:
1. Only persons authorized to act on behalf of the contracting
entities may negotiate the terms and conditions of a specific contract
proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or hearings will be furnished to
those parties that have made a timely written request for such notice
to the appropriate regional or project office of Reclamation.
3. Written correspondence regarding proposed contracts may be made
available to the general public pursuant to the terms and procedures of
the Freedom of Information Act, as amended.
4. Written comments on a proposed contract or contract action must
be submitted to the appropriate regional officials at the locations and
within the time limits set forth in the advance public notices.
5. All written comments received and testimony presented at any
public hearings will be reviewed and summarized by the appropriate
regional office for use by the contract approving authority.
6. Copies of specific proposed contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his designated public contact as they
become available for review and comment.
7. In the event modifications are made in the form of a proposed
contract, the appropriate regional director shall determine whether
republication of the notice and/or extension of the comment period is
necessary.
Factors considered in making such a determination shall include,
but are not limited to, (i) the significance of the modification, and
(ii) the degree of public interest which has been expressed over the
course of the negotiations. At a minimum, the regional director shall
furnish revised contracts to all parties who requested the contract in
response to the initial public notice.
