On September 26, 2022, the

respondents except for Realtek, ‘‘TCL’’).
See Order No. 17 (Aug. 30, 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.

On June 7, 2024, based on a
settlement agreement between AMD and
TCL, the Commission issued a modified
LEO directed only to Realtek’s
infringing products, and rescinded the
CDOs against 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 June 17, 2024
settlement agreement between AMD and
Realtek, attaching thereto as Exhibit B a
non-confidential version of the
settlement agreement. That same day,
Realtek filed a separate correspondence
to the Secretary attaching thereto as
Exhibit A the unredacted version of the
settlement agreement.
On July 5, 2024, the ALJ issued Order
No. 78, which (i) ordered AMD and
Realtek to ‘‘revise and refile the nonconfidential 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 the
subject ID (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 non-confidential 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 Commission Rule
210.50(b)(2) (19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)).
Order No. 79 at 2 (July 15, 2024). No
petitions for review of the subject ID
were filed.

to review the subject ID. The
modification proceeding is terminated.
The Commission vote for this

collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted for 60 days until
October 21, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written
comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning
the proposed collection of information
are encouraged. Your comments should
address one or more of the following
four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; and
—Minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Abstract: This form will primarily be
used to collect applicant reference
information. Reference checking is an
objective evaluation of an applicant’s
past job performance based on
information collected from key
individuals (e.g., supervisors, peers,
subordinates) who have now and
worked with the applicant. Reference
checking is a necessary supplement to
the evaluation of resumes and other
Descriptions of training and experience,
and allows the selecting official to hire
applicants with a strong history of
performance. The questions on this form
have been developed following the
OPM, MSPB, and DOJ ‘‘Best Practice’’
guidelines for reference checking.
