ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
the U.S. International Trade
Commission has rescinded the general
exclusion order and cease and desist
orders issued at the conclusion of the
above-captioned investigation. The
general exclusion order was directed
against infringing kinesiotherapy
devices and components thereof, and
the cease and desist orders were
directed against certain respondents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on January 10, 2012, based on a
complaint filed by Standard Innovation
Corporation of Ottawa, ON, Canada and
Standard Innovation (US) Corp. of
Wilmington, Delaware (collectively,
‘‘Standard Innovation’’). 77 FR 1504–05
(Jan. 10, 2012). The complaint alleged
violations of Section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, by reason of infringement of
certain claims of United States Patent
Nos. 7,931,605 (‘‘the ’605 patent’’) and
D605,779 (‘‘the D’779 patent’’). The
complaint named twenty-one business
entities as respondents, several of which
have since been terminated from the

investigation based upon consent orders
or withdrawal of the complaint. On July
25, 2012, the Commission determined
not to review an ID (Order No. 25)
granting Standard Innovation’s motion
to withdraw the D’779 patent from the
investigation. An evidentiary hearing
was held from August 21, 2012, to
August 24, 2012.
On January 8, 2013, the ALJ issued a
final ID finding no violation of Section
337. The ALJ also issued a
recommended determination on remedy
and bonding on January 22, 2013.
Specifically, the ALJ found that
Standard Innovation had not satisfied
the economic prong of the domestic
industry requirement. The ALJ found,
however, that the accused products
infringe the asserted claims, that the
asserted claims were not shown to be
invalid, and that the technical prong of
the domestic industry requirement was
shown to be satisfied.
On January 22, 2013, Standard
Innovation and the Commission
investigative attorney filed petitions for
review of the final ID, and the remaining
respondents in the investigation filed a
contingent petition for review. On
January 30, 2013, each party filed a
response.
On March 25, 2013, the Commission
determined to review the ID in its
entirety and posed questions to the
parties concerning the satisfaction of the
economic prong of the domestic
industry and remedy, the public
interest, and bonding. The parties and
the IA submitted briefs on April 8, 2013,
and briefs in reply on April 15, 2013.
The target date for completion of the
investigation was also extended until
June 17, 2013.
On June 17, 2013, the Commission
issued its final determination finding
that Standard Innovation had satisfied
the economic prong of the domestic
industry requirement and that Standard
Innovation had proven a violation of
Section 337 by reason of infringement of
the ’605 patent. Based on evidence of a
pattern of violation and difficulty
ascertaining the source of the infringing
products, the Commission issued a
general exclusion order against certain
kinesiotherapy devices that infringe the
’605 patent. The Commission also
issued cease and desist orders against
the following respondents: LELO Inc. of
San Jose, California; PHE, Inc. d/b/a
Adam & Eve of Hillsborough, North
Carolina; Nalpac Enterprises, Ltd. of
Ferndale, Michigan; E.T.C. Inc. (d/b/a
Eldorado Trading Company, Inc.) of
Broomfield, Colorado; Williams Trading
Co., Inc. of Pennsauken, New Jersey;
Honey’s Place Inc. of San Fernando,
California; and Lover’s Lane & Co. of
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Plymouth, Michigan. The Commission’s
remedial orders allowed entry under
bond during the Presidential review
period.
On August 20, 2013, respondents
LELO, Inc. and Leloi AB filed a notice
of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit seeking review of
the Commission’s final determination.
Standard Innovation intervened in the
appeal and the parties filed briefs with
the Court. On May 11, 2015, the Federal
Circuit issued its opinion in Lelo Inc. v.
International Trade Commission, 786
F.3d 879 (Fed. Cir. 2015). The Court
indicated that the Commission had
erred in relying solely upon qualitative
factors to find ‘‘significant investment in
plant and equipment’’ and ‘‘significant
employment of labor or capital’’ under
prongs (A) and (B) of the domestic
industry requirement. Accordingly, the
Court reversed the Commission’s
finding of a violation of 19 U.S.C. 1337.
The Court issued its mandate on July 2,
2015.
As the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit has reversed the
Commission’s finding of violation, the
Commission has determined that there
is no longer a basis for the general
exclusion order or the cease and desist
orders previously issued in this
investigation. The Commission has
therefore rescinded the orders.
This action is taken under the
authority of Section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337(k) and
Commission rule 210.76, 19 CFR 210.76.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: July 21, 2015.

Secretary to the Commission.

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
¨
¨
TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM), as
an NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers
the addition of one test standard to its
scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition,
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition, or for
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the Agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
Agency provides its final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the Agency’s Web site at https://

18:58 Jul 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
TUVAM submitted an application,
dated October 6, 2014 (OSHA–2007–
0043–0011, Exhibit 15–1—TUVAM
Expansion Letter), to expand its
recognition to include two additional
test standards. In response for requests
for additional information from NRTL
staff, TUVAM withdrew one of the
proposed test standards, reducing their
request for expansion to one test
standard. OSHA staff performed a
comparability analysis and reviewed
other pertinent information. OSHA did
not perform any on-site reviews in
relation to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
May 6, 2015 (80 FR 26096). The Agency
requested comments by May 21, 2015,
but it received no comments in response
to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding
with this final notice to grant expansion
of TUVAM’s scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to
TUVAM’s application, go to
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0043 contains
all materials in the record concerning
TUVAM’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVAM’s
expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that TUVAM
meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of its recognition,
subject to the limitation and conditions
listed below. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant TUVAM’s scope of recognition
expansion. OSHA limits the expansion
of TUVAM’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standard listed in Table 1 below.
44385
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, an NRTL’s
scope of recognition does not include
these products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standard listed above as an American
National Standard. However, for
convenience, we may use the
designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation. Under the
NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA
Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized
for a particular test standard may use
either the proprietary version of the test
standard or the ANSI version of that
standard. Contact ANSI to determine
whether a test standard is currently
ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
TUVAM must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. TUVAM must inform OSHA as
soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key
personnel, and of any major change in
its operations as an NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. TUVAM must meet all the terms of
its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. TUVAM must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
TUVAM’s scope of recognition, in all
areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of TUVAM, subject to the
limitation and conditions specified
above.

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of T[Uuml]V S[Uuml]D America, Inc. (TUVAM), as an NRTL.
TUVAM's expansion covers the addition of one test standard to its scope
of recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets

for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the Agency's Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
TUVAM submitted an application, dated October 6, 2014 (OSHA-2007-
0043-0011, Exhibit 15-1--TUVAM Expansion Letter), to expand its
recognition to include two additional test standards. In response for
requests for additional information from NRTL staff, TUVAM withdrew one
of the proposed test standards, reducing their request for expansion to
one test standard. OSHA staff performed a comparability analysis and
reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to this application.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVAM's expansion
application in the Federal Register on May 6, 2015 (80 FR 26096). The
Agency requested comments by May 21, 2015, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final

TUVAM's application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket
Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department

concerning TUVAM's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVAM's expansion application, its capability
to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that
TUVAM meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitation and conditions listed below.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant TUVAM's
scope of recognition expansion. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM's
recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration
of conformance to the test standard listed in Table 1 below.

OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standard listed above as an American National Standard. However,
for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under
the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may
use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI
version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test
standard is currently ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
TUVAM must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. TUVAM must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as an NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. TUVAM must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. TUVAM must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on TUVAM's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of TUVAM, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.
