The BLM will provide an explanation in the Scoping Report or the EA as to why an issue was placed in category two or three. The public is also encouraged to help identify any management questions and concerns that should be addressed in the plan. The BLM will work collaboratively with interested parties to identify the management decisions that are best suited to local, regional, and national needs and concerns. The BLM will use the NEPA public participation requirements to assist the agency in satisfying the public involvement requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The information about historic and cultural resources within the area potentially affected by the proposed action will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources in the context of both NEPA and Section 106 of the NHPA. The BLM will consult with Indian tribes on a government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal concerns, including impacts on Indian trust assets and potential impacts to cultural resources, will be given due consideration. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with tribes and other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed action that the BLM is evaluating, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be requested by the BLM to participate in the development of the environmental analysis as a cooperating agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337– TA–861 on November 16, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Speculative Product Design, LLC of Mountain View, California (‘‘Speck’’). 77 FR 68828 (Nov. 16, 2012). The complaint alleged 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 cases for portable electronic devices by reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent No. 8,204,561 (‘‘the ’561 patent’’). The complaint named several respondents. The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337–TA–867 on January 31, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Speck. 78 FR 6834 (Jan. 31, 2013). That complaint also alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 cases for portable electronic devices by reason of infringement of various claims of the ’561 patent. The complaint named several additional respondents. On January 31, 2013, the Commission consolidated the two investigations. Id. All of the respondents that participated in the investigation have been terminated from the investigation. Specifically, respondents JWIN Electronics Corp., dba iLuv of Port Washington, New York and Fellowes, Inc. of Itsaca, Illinois were terminated from the investigation based upon settlement agreements. Respondents Project Horizon, Inc., d/b/a/InMotion Entertainment of Jacksonville, Florida and En Jinn Industrial Co., Ltd. of New Taipei City, Taiwan were terminated VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:55 Apr 10, 2014 Jkt 232001 from the investigation based upon consent order stipulations. Respondents Superior Communications, Inc. of Irwindale, California and Shengda Huanqiu Shijie of Shenzhen, China were terminated from the investigation based upon withdrawal of allegations pertaining to them from the complaint. Respondent Jie Sheng Technology of Tainan City, Taiwan was terminated from the investigation based upon amendment to the complaint and notice of investigation. Respondent Body Glove International, LLC of Redondo Beach, California was terminated from the investigation based upon a finding that it had committed no acts in violation of section 337. The following respondents were found in default: Anbess, Rocon, Trait, Wexun, SW-Box, and Global. Accordingly, the only parties remaining active in this investigation are Speck and the Commission investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’). On August 19, 2013, Speck filed a motion for summary determination that it has satisfied the domestic industry requirement under sections 337(a)(3)(A), (B), and (C) (not including licensing). On August 19, 2013, the IA filed a response in support of Speck’s motion that it has satisfied the domestic industry requirement under section 337(a)(3)(C). On September 10, 2013, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No 15) granting Speck’s motion in part. Specifically, the ALJ found that Speck established a domestic industry for the ’561 patent under section 337(a)(3)(C). On October 23, 2013, the Commission determined not to review the ID. On September 30, 2013, the ALJ granted a motion by Speck to terminate the investigation as to claims 1–3, 6–8, 10, and 12–16 of the ’561 patent. On November 11, 2013, the Commission determined not to review. Thus, claims 4, 5, 9, and 11 remain pending in the investigation. On November 15, 2013, Speck filed a motion for summary determination of violation with respect to the defaulting respondents. On November 26, 2013, the IA filed a response in support of Speck’s motion. On February 21, 2014, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID, Order No. 28, granting the motion. He also recommended issuance of a general exclusion order and the imposition of a bond of 100 percent of entered value during the period of Presidential review. Having considered the subject ID and the relevant portions of the record, the Commission has determined not to review the ID based on the substantial, reliable, and probative evidence establishing a violation by the defaulting respondents. PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20229 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 being required to cease and desist from engaging in unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly, 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 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 and prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 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: 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. Complainant and the Commission investigative attorney are also requested E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 20230 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 2014 / Notices to submit proposed remedial orders for the Commission’s consideration. Complainant is also requested to state the date on which the ’561 patent expires and the HTSUS subheadings under which the accused products are imported. Written submissions must be filed no later than close of business on April 23, 2014. Reply submissions must be filed no later than the close of business on April 30, 2014. Such submissions should address the ALJ’s recommended determinations on remedy and bonding which were made in Order No. 28. No further submissions on any of these issues will be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission. Persons filing written submissions must file the original document electronically on or before the deadlines stated above and submit eight true paper copies to the Office of the Secretary by noon the next day pursuant to section 210.4(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.4(f)).

Persons with questions regarding filing should contact the Secretary (202–205– 2000). Any person desiring to submit a document to the Commission in confidence must request confidential treatment. All such requests should be directed to the Secretary to the Commission and must include a full statement of the reasons why the Commission should grant such treatment. See 19 CFR 201.6. Documents for which confidential treatment by the Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly. A redacted nonconfidential version of the document must also be filed simultaneously with the any confidential filing. All nonconfidential written submissions will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Secretary and on EDIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
861 on November 16, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Speculative 
Product Design, LLC of Mountain View, California (``Speck''). 77 FR 
68828 (Nov. 16, 2012). The complaint alleged 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 cases for 
portable electronic devices by reason of infringement of various claims 
of United States Patent No. 8,204,561 (``the '561 patent''). The 
complaint named several respondents.
    The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-867 on January 31, 2013, 
based on a complaint filed by Speck. 78 FR 6834 (Jan. 31, 2013). That 
complaint also alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (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 cases for portable electronic devices by reason 
of infringement of various claims of the '561 patent. The complaint 
named several additional respondents. On January 31, 2013, the 
Commission consolidated the two investigations. Id.
    All of the respondents that participated in the investigation have 
been terminated from the investigation. Specifically, respondents JWIN 
Electronics Corp., dba iLuv of Port Washington, New York and Fellowes, 
Inc. of Itsaca, Illinois were terminated from the investigation based 
upon settlement agreements. Respondents Project Horizon, Inc., d/b/a/
InMotion Entertainment of Jacksonville, Florida and En Jinn Industrial 
Co., Ltd. of New Taipei City, Taiwan were terminated from the 
investigation based upon consent order stipulations. Respondents 
Superior Communications, Inc. of Irwindale, California and Shengda 
Huanqiu Shijie of Shenzhen, China were terminated from the 
investigation based upon withdrawal of allegations pertaining to them 
from the complaint. Respondent Jie Sheng Technology of Tainan City, 
Taiwan was terminated from the investigation based upon amendment to 
the complaint and notice of investigation. Respondent Body Glove 
International, LLC of Redondo Beach, California was terminated from the 
investigation based upon a finding that it had committed no acts in 
violation of section 337.
    The following respondents were found in default: Anbess, Rocon, 
Trait, Wexun, SW-Box, and Global. Accordingly, the only parties 
remaining active in this investigation are Speck and the Commission 
investigative attorney (``IA'').
    On August 19, 2013, Speck filed a motion for summary determination 
that it has satisfied the domestic industry requirement under sections 
337(a)(3)(A), (B), and (C) (not including licensing). On August 19, 
2013, the IA filed a response in support of Speck's motion that it has 
satisfied the domestic industry requirement under section 337(a)(3)(C). 
On September 10, 2013, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No 15) granting 
Speck's motion in part. Specifically, the ALJ found that Speck 
established a domestic industry for the '561 patent under section 
337(a)(3)(C). On October 23, 2013, the Commission determined not to 
review the ID.
    On September 30, 2013, the ALJ granted a motion by Speck to 
terminate the investigation as to claims 1-3, 6-8, 10, and 12-16 of the 
'561 patent. On November 11, 2013, the Commission determined not to 
review. Thus, claims 4, 5, 9, and 11 remain pending in the 
investigation.
    On November 15, 2013, Speck filed a motion for summary 
determination of violation with respect to the defaulting respondents. 
On November 26, 2013, the IA filed a response in support of Speck's 
motion. On February 21, 2014, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID, 
Order No. 28, granting the motion. He also recommended issuance of a 
general exclusion order and the imposition of a bond of 100 percent of 
entered value during the period of Presidential review.
    Having considered the subject ID and the relevant portions of the 
record, the Commission has determined not to review the ID based on the 
substantial, reliable, and probative evidence establishing a violation 
by the defaulting respondents.
    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 being required to cease and desist from engaging in unfair 
acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly, 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 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 and prescribed by the 
Secretary of the Treasury. 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: 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. Complainant and the Commission investigative attorney are 
also requested
