[Docket No. BOEM–2024–0033]
Notice of Availability of a Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
US Wind Inc.’s Proposed Wind Energy
Facility Offshore Maryland
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability; final
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) announces the
availability of the final environmental
impact statement (FEIS) on US Wind
Inc.’s (US Wind) construction and
operations plan (COP) for its proposed
Maryland Offshore Wind Project
(Project). The FEIS analyzes the
potential environmental impacts of the
Project as described in the COP (the
proposed action) and the alternatives to
the proposed action, including the no
action alternative. The FEIS will inform
BOEM’s decision whether to approve,
approve with modifications, or
disapprove the COP.
ADDRESSES: The FEIS and detailed
information about the Project, including
the COP, can be found on BOEM’s
website at: https://www.boem.gov/

Renewable Energy Programs, 45600

Lorena.Edenfield@boem.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: US Wind seeks
approval to construct, operate, and
maintain a wind energy facility and its
associated export cables on the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore
Maryland. The Project would be
developed within the range of design
parameters outlined in the Maryland
Offshore Wind COP, subject to the
applicable mitigation measures.
The Project as proposed in the COP
would include up to 121 wind turbine
generators (WTGs), up to four offshore
substations with one offshore export
cable route, and one meteorological
tower under the terms of Renewable
Energy Lease OCS–A 0490. The lease
area is located ten miles off the coast of
Maryland. The onshore components of
the Project would include a cable
landfall area at 3Rs beach in Delaware.
From the landfall, onshore cables would
continue along an inshore cable export
route in Indian River Bay to connect to
a single onshore substation adjacent to
the point of interconnection in
Dagsboro, Delaware.
Alternatives: BOEM considered 14
alternatives when preparing the draft
environmental impact statement and
carried forward five alternatives for
further analysis. These five alternatives
include four action alternatives and a no
action alternative. Nine alternatives
were not analyzed in detail 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 final EIS. The
screening criteria included consistency
with law and regulations, technical and
economic feasibility, environmental
impact, and geographic considerations.
Availability of the FEIS: The FEIS, US
Wind COP, and associated information
are available on BOEM’s website at:
https://www.boem.gov/renewableenergy/state-activities/marylandoffshore-wind. BOEM has distributed
digital copies of the FEIS to all parties
listed in FEIS Appendix N. If you would
like a flash drive or paper copy, BOEM
will provide one upon request, as long
as supplies are available. You may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on June 7, 2022, based on a complaint
filed by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
of Santa Clara, California and ATI
Technologies ULC of Ontario, Canada
(together, ‘‘AMD’’). 87 FR 34718–19
(June 7, 2022). The complaint, as

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section
337’’), based on certain graphics
systems, components thereof, and
digital televisions containing the same
by reason of infringement of certain
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,742,053;
8,760,454; 11,184,628; 8,468,547; and

62452–53 (Oct. 14, 2022). The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations was not
named as a party to this investigation.
87 FR at 34719.
On September 26, 2022, the
Commission allowed TTE Technology,
Inc. of Corona, California to intervene in
this investigation as an additional
respondent (collectively, with all named
respondents except for Realtek, ‘‘TCL’’).
See Order No. 17 (Aug. 30, 2022),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Sept.
26, 2022).
On January 24, 2024, the Commission
issued a final determination finding a
violation of section 337 by TCL and
Realtek with respect to claims 19 and 20
of the ’381 patent. 89 FR 5934–35 (Jan.
30, 2024); see Comm’n Opinion (Jan. 24,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:22 Aug 01, 2024
Jkt 262001
2024). The Commission determined that
the appropriate remedy is: (i) an LEO
against TCL’s and Realtek’s infringing
products and (ii) cease and desist orders
(‘‘CDOs’’) against each of the TCL
entities, but not against Realtek. 89 FR
at 5935. The Commission also set the
bond during the period of Presidential
review at zero (0) percent of the entered
value of the infringing articles. Id.
On March 28, 2024, Realtek filed an
appeal from the Commission’s final
determination with the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. v. ITC,
Appeal Nos. 24–1613. On July 1, 2024,
the Federal Circuit granted Realtek’s
voluntary dismissal of the appeal. See
id., ECF No. 28.
On June 7, 2024, the Commission
issued a modified LEO, which is
directed only to Realtek’s infringing
products, and rescinded the CDOs
against TCL based on a settlement
agreement between AMD and TCL. See
Modified LEO at 1 (June 7, 2024);
Comm’n Order at 6 (June 7, 2024).
On May 21, 2024, the Commission
instituted a modification proceeding as
to the LEO based on a changed
condition of fact alleged by Realtek. 89
FR 46158–59 (May 28, 2024). On June
27, 2024, AMD and Realtek filed a joint
motion to terminate the modification
proceeding based on a settlement
agreement between AMD and Realtek
dated June 17, 2024, attaching thereto
the same Exhibits A and B attached to
the present petition. On July 5, 2024, the
ALJ issued Order No. 78, which (i)
ordered AMD and Realtek to ‘‘revise and
refile the non-confidential version of the
agreement required by Commission
Rules 210.21(a)(2) and 210.21(b)(1) [19
CFR 210.21(a)(2) and (b)(1)], and in
accordance with Commission Rule
201.6 [19 CFR 201.6],’’ and (ii) stated
that the motion to terminate will be
ruled upon after the revised nonconfidential version of the agreement is
refiled. Order No. 78 at 2 (July 5, 2024).
On July 12, 2024, in response to Order
No. 78, Realtek filed a revised nonconfidential version of the subject
agreement (Ex. B). On July 15, 2024, the
ALJ issued an initial determination
(Order No. 79) granting the joint motion
to terminate the modification
proceeding. The ALJ found that the
motion complies with the requirements
of Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1) (19
CFR 210.21(b)(1)), including the
submission of confidential and public
versions of the subject agreement in
compliance with Commission Rule
201.6 (19 CFR 201.6), and that there is
no evidence that terminating the
proceeding would be contrary to the
public interest in accordance with

Sfmt 4703
Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2) (19 CFR
210.50(b)(2)). Order No. 79 at 2 (July 15,
2024).
On June 27, 2024, AMD and Realtek
(together, ‘‘Petitioners’’) filed a joint
petition (‘‘Pet.’’) to rescind the modified
LEO based on the settlement agreement
between the Petitioners. Attached to the
petition is the same redacted copy of a
‘‘binding settlement term sheet’’
between the Petitioners (Ex. B) dated
June 17, 2024, as was filed with the
motion to terminate the modification
proceeding. Pet. at 1, Ex. B. On June 28,
2024, AMD filed a separate
correspondence to the Secretary
requesting confidential treatment of
business information contained in
Exhibit A attached thereto (the
unredacted version of Exhibit B
attached to the petition). On July 22,
2024, Petitioners filed a corrected joint
petition to rescind the modified LEO,
and attached thereto the same revised,
non-confidential version of the subject
agreement (Ex. B) as was filed by
Realtek in response to Order No. 78.
The Commission, having reviewed the
record in this investigation, including
Petitioners’ petition, AMD’s request for
confidential treatment of business
information contained in Exhibit A,
Petitioners’ corrected petition, and
revised Exhibit B, has determined that
the conditions justifying the modified
LEO against Realtek no longer exist,
and, therefore, granting the corrected
joint petition is warranted under section
337(k), 19 U.S.C. 1337(k), and
Commission Rule 210.76(a)(3), 19 CFR
210.76(a)(3). Accordingly, the
Commission has determined to institute
a rescission proceeding and to rescind
the modified LEO based on the
settlement agreement between
Petitioners. The rescission proceeding is
terminated. The Commission issues an
order herewith setting forth its
determinations.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on July 29,
2024.
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).
By order of the Commission.
