Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 57 / Tuesday, March 25, 2014 / Notices
The
Commission instituted this investigation
on April 15, 2013, based on a complaint
filed by STMicroelectronics, Inc., of
Coppell, Texas (‘‘STMicro’’). 78 FR
22293 (April 15, 2013). 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).

of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
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

16376

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).
