The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is also named as a party. Id. On February 24, 2021, the Commission determined to terminate the investigation as to the ’848 patent based on withdrawal of the allegations in the complaint as to that patent. Order No. 9 (Feb. 9, 2021), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Feb. 24, 2021). On March 15, 2021, the Commission determined to terminate the investigation as to (i) claims 3 and 5–10 of the ’590 patent, (ii) claim 3 of the ’086 patent, (iii) all asserted claims of the ’590 and ’821 patents with respect to Apple’s MacOS products only, and (iv) Apple’s affirmative defense of lack of standing based on the private parties’ withdrawal of their respective allegations in the complaint and answer as to those issues. Order No. 14 (Feb. 19, 2021), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Mar. 15, 2021). On March 25, 2021, Maxell and Apple filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation in its entirety based on settlement. That same day, OUII filed a response in support of the motion. On March 29, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the motion. The ID finds that the motion complies with the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)) and that ‘‘the public interest generally favors settlement to avoid needless litigation and to conserve public resources.’’ ID at 2. No petitions for review of the subject ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety. The Commission vote for this determination took place on April 9, 2021. 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 210).

As a result, researchers are increasingly relying on machine learning and other dataintensive techniques to lead the development of next-generation, highperformance networks and computer systems. This necessitates the availability of representative datasets that can inform such research. Furthermore, representative datasets will enable the Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) and Computer Systems Research (CSR) communities to contribute to innovations in Advanced Wireless and Artificial Intelligence, both of which have been identified as strategic priority areas for the Nation. Addressing current and future research areas may require access to specific types of datasets that capture a broad range of practical settings and navigate through a complex set of design trade-offs. Researchers utilizing machine learning and other artificial intelligence techniques may need large, labeled data to use as training and testing sets, to test algorithms and protocols that they have developed, or to assess the viability of their design methodologies. More generally, datasets can motivate research questions or identify areas to target in future work. Equitable access to data is also essential for replicable and reproducible research. Additionally, identification of the specific dataset needs of the research community may motivate the collection of specific new types of data or the creation of new tools for accessing and analyzing data. Existing or future NSF infrastructure investments, such as the Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR), may be important venues for collecting the identified data. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks input from the community on the specific needs related to collecting, sharing, and utilizing public or private datasets for networking and computer systems research, and any challenges associated with each. The input could identify requirements for datasets that may include, but are not limited to, spectrum data, physical layer data, network and internet measurement data, workload data, power/performance data, and other systems data. NSF recognizes that some datasets currently exist but is interested in needs that are not currently met by these existing datasets, conventions or formats that may broaden the usability of the data, and E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1
