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 microelectromechanical systems (‘‘MEMs Devices’’) and products containing the same by reason of infringement of five U.S. patents. The notice of investigation names InvenSense, Inc., of Sunnyvale, California (‘‘InvenSense’’); Roku, Inc, of Saratoga, California (‘‘Roku’’); and Black & Decker, Inc., of New Britain, Connecticut (‘‘Black & Decker’’), as respondents. On February 28, 2014, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 65) granting a joint motion by STMicro, InvenSense, and Black & Decker to terminate the investigation in its entirety. The motion is based on a settlement agreement and a patent cross-license agreement between STMicro and InvenSense. The ALJ found that there are no other agreements between the parties concerning the subject of the investigation and that the parties had complied with the Commission’s rules for termination based on a settlement agreement. The ALJ also stated that terminating the investigation by settlement would not be contrary to the public interest and will conserve public and private resources. Accordingly, the ALJ determined that the investigation should be terminated in its entirety. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the ID. 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). emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By order of the Commission.

Overview of this information collection: (1) Type of Information Collection: New data collection, National Survey of Tribal Courts Systems (NSTCS), 2013 (2) The title of the Form/Collection: 2013 National Survey of Tribal Court Systems or NSTCS–13. (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: The form labels include NSTCS–13L48; NSTCS–13AK; and NSTCS–13CFR. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs. (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: This information collection is a census of tribal court systems that operated in Indian country during the period 2013. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) proposes to implement a National Survey of Tribal Courts (NSTCS). Tribal courts are diverse, with some being extensively elaborate in their development, some based on traditional or indigenous customs, and others are just beginning to develop a modern judicial system. Over the past decade, various legislation, including the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 and Violence against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, have sought to improve public safety in Indian country through increased sentencing authority and expanded jurisdiction. Existing information on tribal courts is extremely dated or was conducted with a narrow focus and did not include the three distinctive areas of tribal courts; the lower 48 States, Alaska, and the Courts of Indian Offenses. No reliable and recurring data are collected on the volume of criminal and civil cases handle in tribal courts annually. Hence, the NSTCS will provide national level information on the administration and operation of trial and appellate courts in Indian country. The NSTCS is designed to provide BJS and other interested stakeholders with current empirical information on tribal court systems. A goal of the NSTCS is to obtain national statistics on staffing; budgets; prosecution, public defense and civil legal services; juvenile justice; domestic violence and protection orders; enhance sentencing and jurisdiction capacity; and criminal justice database access and reporting. This will help BJS generate aggregate statistics on the magnitude and types of cases handled in tribal courts, as well establish baseline measures for E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 16376 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 57 / Tuesday, March 25, 2014 / Notices comparisons in future iterations. Information will be collected for calendar year 2013. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 300 respondents (tribal courts) will take part in the National Survey of Tribal Courts Systems 2013. Based on pilot testing an average of 2 hours each is needed to complete the form appropriate for the tribal system: NSTCS–13L48, NSTCS– 13AK, or NSTCS–13CFR. The estimated range of burden for respondents is expected to be between 1.5 to 2.5 hours for completion. The following factors were considered when creating the burden estimate: the estimated total number of tribal courts, the ability of tribal courts to access or gather the data, and the information systems capabilities generally found within Indian country. BJS estimates that nearly all of the approximately 300 respondents will fully complete the questionnaire. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this collection is 600 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 2 hours to complete a questionnaire. The burden hours for collecting respondent data sum to 600 hours (300 respondents × 2 hours = 600 hours).
