These data are needed to support regional or national assessments concerning energy resources. Requesting external cooperation is a way for NCRDS to collect energy data and perform research and analyses on the characterization of geologic material, and obtain other information (including geophysical or seismic data, sample collection for generation of thermal maturity data) that can be used in energy resource assessments and related studies. The USGS will issue a call for proposals to support researchers from State Geological Surveys and associated accredited universities that can provide geologic data to support NCRDS and other energy assessment projects being conducted by the USGS. Data submitted to NCRDS by external cooperators constitute more than twothirds of the USGS point-source stratigraphic database (USTRAT) on coal occurrence. This program is conducted under various authorities, including 30 U.S.C. 208–1, 42 U.S.C. 15801, and 43 U.S.C. 31 et seq. This collection will consist of applications, proposals and reports (annual and final). Title of Collection: National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS). OMB Control Number: 1028–0094.

On October 26, 2018, Bear Archery moved for summary determination of violation of section 337 by the defaulting respondents and requested a general exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’). On November 21, OUII filed a response supporting the motion. The ALJ issued the subject ID on March 19, 2019, granting the motion for summary determination and finding a violation of section 337 for the ’775 patent. Specifically, the ALJ found that Bear Archery established infringement of claims 1–2 and 32 of the ’775 patent with respect to each defaulting respondent’s accused product by substantial, reliable, and probative evidence. The ALJ recommended that the Commission issue a GEO if it finds a violation of section 337. No party petitioned for review of the subject ID. Having examined the record of this investigation, the Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. As noted above, all eight respondents were found in default. Section 337(g) and Commission Rule 210.16(c) authorize the Commission to issue relief against respondents found in default unless, after considering the public interest, it finds that such relief should not issue. Before the ALJ, Bear Archery sought a GEO under section 337(g)(2). In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the Commission may issue an order that could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States. Accordingly, the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered.
