Abstract: The BIA owns, operates, and maintains irrigation projects that provide a service to the end user. To properly bill for the services provided, the BIA must collect customer information to identify the individual responsible for repaying the government the costs of delivering the service; determine eligibility for waiver of fees; and determine designation of irrigable lands as assessable or non-assessable. Additional information necessary for providing the service is the location of the service delivery and the number of serviced acres. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) requires that certain information be collected from individuals and businesses doing business with the government. This information includes the taxpayer identification number for possible future use to recover delinquent debt. To implement the DCIA requirement to collect customer information, the BIA has included a section concerning the collection of information in its regulations governing its irrigation projects (25 CFR 171). Proposed Revisions The proposed ‘‘Agreement for the Carriage of Water’’ (form number BIA– DWP–Irr–106) would allow BIA to determine whether BIA irrigation facility can support the third-party carriage or whether it is in the best interest of the BIA facility to convey our water through third-party facilities, under 25 CFR 171. 605.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 26, 2021, the Commission instituted this investigation based on a complaint filed by AliveCor, Inc. of Mountain View, California (‘‘AliveCor’’). 86 FR 28382 (May 26, 2021). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 based on the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain wearable electronic devices with ECG functionality and components thereof by reason of infringement of one or more of claims 1–30 of U.S. Patent No. 10,595,731 (‘‘the ’731 patent’’); claims 1–23 of U.S. Patent No. 10,638,941 (‘‘the ’941 patent’’); and claims 1–4, 6–14, 16–20 of U.S. Patent No. 9,572,499 (‘‘the ’499 patent’’). Id. The Commission’s notice of investigation named Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California (‘‘Apple’’) as the sole respondent. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is named as a party in this investigation. Id. On February 23, 2022, the ALJ issued an initial determination granting AliveCor’s motion to terminate the investigation as to (1) claims 1–4, 6–14, and 18–20 of the ’499 patent; (2) claims 2, 4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, and 17–30 of the ’731 patent; and (3) claims 1–11, 14, 15, 17, and 18 of the ’941 patent based upon withdrawal of allegations from the complaint as to those claims. Order No. 16 (Feb. 23, 2022), unreviewed by Notice (Mar. 18, 2022). On June 27, 2022, the ALJ issued the final initial determination (‘‘ID’’) finding a violation of section 337 as to the ’941 and ’731 patents, and no violation of section 337 as to the ’499 patent.1 The ID found that the parties do not contest personal jurisdiction, and that the Commission has in rem jurisdiction over the accused products. ID at 18. The ID further found that the importation requirement under 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)(B) is satisfied. Id. (citing CX– 0904C (Apple stipulating that it imports the accused products into the United States)). Regarding the ’941 patent, the ID found that AliveCor has proven infringement of the asserted claims, claims 12, 13, 19, and 20–23, and that Apple failed to show that any of the asserted claims are invalid. Id. at 30–45, 60–98. For the ’731 patent, the ID found that AliveCor has proven infringement of the asserted claims, claims 1, 3, 5, 8– 10, 12, 15, and 16, but that Apple has proven that claims 1, 8, 12, and 16 are invalid for obviousness. Id. at 105–108, 113–127. For the ’499 patent, the ID 1 The ALJ issued a corrected final ID on July 26, 2022, correcting the table of contents. PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58819 found that AliveCor failed to prove infringement of the asserted claims, claims 16 and 17, and that claim 17 is invalid for lack of patentable subject matter under 35 U.S.C. 101. Id. at 129– 138, 140–152. Finally, the ID found that AliveCor has proven the existence of a domestic industry that practices the asserted patents as required by 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(2). Id. at 152–183. The ID included the ALJ’s recommended determination on remedy and bonding (‘‘RD’’). The RD recommended that, should the Commission find a violation, issuance of a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders would be appropriate. ID/RD at 190–193. The RD also recommended imposing no bond for covered products imported during the period of Presidential review. ID at 193–95. On July 11, 2022, Apple filed a petition for review of the ID, and AliveCor filed a combined petition and contingent petition for review of the ID. On July 19, 2022, the private parties and OUII’s investigative attorney filed responses to the petitions. Having reviewed the record of the investigation, including the final ID, the parties’ submissions to the ALJ, the petitions for review, and the responses thereto, the Commission has determined to review the ID in part. Specifically, the Commission has determined to review the final ID’s invalidity findings, including patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. 101 and obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103, and the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement. In connection with its review, the Commission requests responses from the parties to the following questions. The parties are requested to brief their positions with reference to the applicable law and the existing evidentiary record. (1) Discuss whether the record evidence of ‘‘industry praise’’ and ‘‘copying’’ is sufficient to establish the requisite objective indicia of nonobviousness. See Graham v. John Deere Co. of Kansas City, 383 U.S. 1, 17–18 (1966). (2) Please explain whether and how the Complainant’s investments credited by the ID under subsection 337(a)(3)(B) are quantitatively and qualitatively significant. (3) Please explain whether and how the Complainant’s employment of labor in research and development in the exploitation of the patents under subsection 337(a)(3)(C) are quantitatively and qualitatively substantial. Please state whether the R&D contract labor amount credited by the ID under subsection 337(a)(3)(C) includes foreign contract labor and, if E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1
