Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES 17566 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2018 / Notices patents and claims: Claims 1–8, 11–15, 18–19, 20–21, and 22 of the ’508 patent; claims 1–10 and 13–15 of the ’103 patent; and claims 1–3, 9, 12, 16–18, 21, and 30 of the ’659 patent. On February 15, 2018, the ALJ issued the ID, which finds only MUV in violation of section 337, and only as to the ’508 and ’103 patents. The ALJ recommended that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order directed to MUV’s infringing products. The ALJ also recommended a bond of forty percent of entered value during the Presidential review period. See 19 U.S.C. 1337(j)(3). On February 27–28, 2018, OUII, DSM, MUV, and OFS filed petitions for review of the ID, and on March 7–8, 2018, the parties filed responses to the petitions. On March 19, 2018, the private parties filed statements on the public interest. The Commission also received comments on the public interest from members of the public. Having examined the record in this investigation, including the ID, the petitions for review, and the responses thereto, the Commission has determined to review the ID in part. In particular, the Commission has determined to review the following: (1) Whether respondent OFS imports respondent MUV’s accused KS1–043/ 048 coating. (2) Whether claim 30 of ’659 patent is invalid for lack of written description. (3) Whether claims 1–8, 11, 15, and 18–19 of the ’508 patent are invalid for lack of written description and enablement. (4) Whether claim 21 of the ’508 patent and claims 1–10 and 13–15 of the ’103 patent are invalid for lack of written description and enablement. (5) Whether the accused products infringe the ’508, ’103, and ’659 patents. (6) Whether the technical and economic prongs of the domestic industry requirement have been met for the ’508, ’103, and ’659 patents. The Commission has determined to not review the remainder of the ID. The Commission does not request any briefing at this time. This action is taken under the authority of 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).

More specifically, this ICR is to obtain clearance for statutory notice and certification provisions that assist employees and employers in meeting their FMLA-required third-party notification obligations. The recordkeeping requirements covered by this ICR are necessary in order for the DOL to carry out its statutory obligation under FMLA section 106 (29 U.S.C. 2616) to investigate and ensure employer compliance. FMLA sections 106 and 404 authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2616, 2654. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control Number 1235–0003. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2018. The DOL seeks to extend PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2017 (82 FR 48850).

Except for parts 6 and 7, the MSHA conducts most of the testing and evaluation of products for a fee paid by the applicant; although, some regulations require the manufacturer to pretest the product. Upon MSHA approval, the manufacturer must ensure the product continues to conform to the specifications and design evaluated and approved by the MSHA. In some instances, as part of the approval process, manufacturers are required to have a quality control or assurance plan. Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of DATES: E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM 20APN1
