Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 201 / Thursday, October 19, 2017 / Notices
The parties are requested to brief their
positions on only the following issues,
with reference to the applicable law and
the evidentiary record:
1. The ID determined with respect to
the ’230 patent that ‘‘the claim term
‘maximum operating velocity’ should be
construed to mean ‘a variable maximum
velocity where adequate acceleration
potential is available to enable balance
and control of the vehicle.’ ’’ ID at 44.
a. Does intrinsic evidence support the
ID’s above determination?
b. Does extrinsic evidence support the
ID’s above determination?
2. The ID determined with respect to
the ‘230 patent that ‘‘nothing in the
plain language of the disputed
limitation [‘the motorized drive
arrangement causing, when powered,
automatically balanced operation of the
system’] from claim 1 of the ‘230 patent
requires the operation by a rider. The
claim only requires the ‘motorized drive
arrangement causing, when powered,
automatically balanced operation of the
system.’ ’’ ID at 82.
a. Does intrinsic evidence support the
ID’s above determination?
b. Does extrinsic evidence support the
ID’s above determination?
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 respondents 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, including against the defaulted
respondents. 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 are likely to do so. For
background, see Certain Devices for
Connecting Computers via Telephone
Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC
Pub. No. 2843, Comm’n Op. at 7–10
(Dec. 1994).
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
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.
Written Submissions: The parties to
the investigation are requested to file
written submissions on the issues under
review. The submissions should be
concise and thoroughly referenced to
the record in this investigation. 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. Such submissions should
address the recommended
determination on remedy, the public
interest and bonding issued on August
22, 2017, by the ALJ and the appropriate
remedy for the respondents previously
found in default. Complainants and the
Commission investigative attorney are
also requested to submit proposed
remedial orders for the Commission’s
consideration.
Complainants are further requested to
provide the expiration date of the ‘230
patent, the HTSUS numbers under
which the accused articles are imported,
and any known importers of the accused
products. The written submissions and
proposed remedial orders must be filed
no later than the close of business on
October 30, 2017. Reply submissions
must be filed no later than the close of
business on November 6, 2017. No
further submissions on 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 8 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)). Submissions should refer to
the investigation number (‘‘ ‘Inv. No.
337–TA–1007,’ ‘Investigation No. 337–
TA–1021’ (Consolidated))’’ in a
prominent place on the cover page and/

www.usitc.gov/secretary/fed_reg_
notices/rules/handbook_on_
electronicfiling.pdf). 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. All information,
including confidential business
information and documents for which
confidential treatment is properly
sought, submitted to the Commission for
purposes of this Investigation may be
disclosed to and used: (i) By the
Commission, its employees and Offices,
and contract personnel (a) for
developing or maintaining the records
of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in
internal investigations, audits, reviews,
and evaluations relating to the
programs, personnel, and operations of
the Commission including under 5
U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S.
government employees and contract
personnel, solely for cybersecurity
purposes. All contract personnel will
sign appropriate nondisclosure
agreements. All non-confidential
written submissions will be available for
public inspection at the Office of the
Secretary and on EDIS.
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

II. Background
In 2007, following developments in
the national program for Low-Level
Radioactive Waste disposal (LLRW), as
well as changes in the regulatory
environment, the NRC conducted a
Strategic Assessment of the NRC’s
regulatory program for LLRW. The
results of this assessment were
published in late 2007 in SECY–07–
0180, ‘‘Strategic Assessment of LowLevel Radioactive Waste Regulatory
Program’’ (ADAMS Accession No.
ML071350299). The goal of the 2007
assessment was to identify and
prioritize staff activities that: (1) Ensure
safe and secure LLRW disposal; (2)
improve the effectiveness, efficiency,
and adaptability of the NRC’s LLRW
regulatory program; and (3) ensure
regulatory stability and predictability,
