SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Action: SouthCoast Wind seeks approval to construct, own, operate, and maintain the Project: a wind energy facility and its associated export cables on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore Massachusetts. The Project would be developed within the range of design parameters outlined in the SouthCoast Wind COP, subject to applicable mitigation measures. The Project would be located about 26 nautical miles (nm) (48 kilometers) south of Martha’s Vineyard and 20 nm (37 kilometers) south of Nantucket in the area defined in BOEM’s renewable energy lease OCS–A 0521 (Leased Area). The Leased Area covers approximately 127,388 acres. The Project would comprise up to 149 positions in the Leased Area to be occupied by up to 147 wind turbine generators and up to 5 offshore substation platforms. The 149 positions will conform to a 1 nm x 1 nm grid layout with an east-west and northsouth orientation, which lessees agreed will apply across all the Massachusetts and Rhode Island wind energy areas. The Project would include two export cable corridors. One corridor would be used by multiple export cables making landfall and interconnecting to the ISO New England Inc. grid in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The other corridor would be used by multiple export cables making landfall and interconnecting to the ISO New England Inc. grid at Brayton Point in Somerset, Massachusetts. Alternatives: BOEM considered 17 alternatives when preparing the DEIS and carried forward 6 alternatives for further analysis in the DEIS. These six alternatives include five action VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 Feb 16, 2023 Jkt 259001 alternatives and the no action alternative. BOEM did not analyze in detail 11 of the alternatives because they did not meet the purpose and need for the proposed action or did not meet screening criteria, which are presented in chapter 2 of the DEIS. The screening criteria included consistency with law and regulations, technical and economic feasibility, environmental impact, and geographic considerations. Availability of the DEIS: The DEIS, COP, and associated information are available on BOEM’s website at: https:// www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/southcoast-wind. BOEM has distributed digital copies of the DEIS to all parties listed in the DEIS appendix M, which also includes the location of all libraries receiving a copy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 2, 2021, the Commission instituted this investigation under section 337 based on a complaint filed by Zebra Technologies Corporation of Lincolnshire, Illinois (‘‘Complainant’’). See 86 FR 49344–45 (Sept. 2, 2021). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10379 violation of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain radio frequency transmission devices and components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1, 3–8, 10, 11, and 13–16 of U.S. Patent No. 6,895,219 (‘‘the ’219 patent’’) and claims 17–19 of U.S. Patent No. 7,683,788 (‘‘the ’788 patent’’) (collectively, the ‘‘Asserted Patents’’). See id. The notice of investigation names OnAsset Intelligence, Inc. of Irving, Texas (‘‘Respondent’’) as the respondent in the investigation. See id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not a party to the investigation. See id. On May 31, 2022, the Commission partially terminated the investigation as to claims 7, 8, and 16 of the ’219 patent based on the withdrawal of the allegations in the complaint as to those claims. See Order No. 20 (May 2, 2022), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (May 31, 2022). On September 16, 2022, the Chief ALJ issued the FID finding no violation of section 337. Specifically, the FID finds that Complainant failed to establish infringement of the Asserted Patents by the Respondent. The FID also finds that claims 17 and 18 (but not claim 19) of the ’788 patent are invalid as anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 7,193,504 (‘‘Carrender I’’) (RX–132). The FID further finds that the domestic industry requirement is satisfied with respect to the ’788 patent. The FID does not reach invalidity and the domestic industry requirement as to the ’219 patent. The FID also includes a Recommended Determination (‘‘RD’’) recommending, should the Commission find a violation of section 337, that the Commission issue: (1) a limited exclusion order against radio frequency transmission devices and components thereof that are imported into the United States, sold for importation, or sold within the United States after importation by or on behalf of the Respondent; and (2) a cease and desist order against the Respondent. The RD further recommends that the Commission set no bond during the period of Presidential review. On September 30, 2022, Complainant filed a petition for Commission review of the FID. As to the ’788 patent, Complainant requests Commission review with respect to the FID’s findings concerning: (1) claim construction; (2) non-infringement; (3) invalidity of claims 17 and 18; and (4) contingently, the domestic industry findings as to one of Complainant’s domestic industry products. As to the ’219 patent, Complainant does not challenge the E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM 17FEN1
