Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on this matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission’s TDD terminal, telephone (202) 205–1810. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on August 1, 2024, based on a complaint filed by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. (‘‘Sun Pharma’’) of Princeton, New Jersey. 89 FR 62790 (Aug. 1, 2024). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based on the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain photodynamic therapy systems, components thereof, and pharmaceutical products used in combination with the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of the ’512 patent and U.S. Patent No. 11,697,028 (‘‘the ’028 patent’’). Id. The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists or is in the process of being established. Id. The notice of investigation names four respondents: (1) Biofrontera Inc. of Woburn, Massachusetts; (2) Biofrontera Pharma GmbH of Leverkusen, Germany; (3) Biofrontera Bioscience GmbH of Leverkusen, Germany; and (4) Biofrontera AG of Leverkusen, Germany (collectively, ‘‘Biofrontera’’). Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not a party to this investigation. Id. On October 7, 2024, Sun Pharma filed a motion to amend the complaint and NOI to add infringement allegations as to claims 9, 11, 17, and 18 of the ’512 patent and claims 10 and 12 of the ’028 patent. On October 17, 2024, Biofrontera filed a response opposing-in-part the motion. Specifically, Biofrontera did not oppose the motion with respect to adding infringement allegations as to claims 17 and 18 of the ’512 patent, but opposed the remainder of the motion. On October 22, 2024, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the motion in part. The ID finds that, in accordance with Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)), good cause exists for amending the complaint and NOI to add infringement allegations as to claims 17 and 18 of the ’512 patent, noting that ‘‘Biofrontera agrees that Sun Pharma’s allegations with respect to these claims are based on information obtained PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 through discovery.’’ ID at 3. The ALJ, however, found that Sun Pharma has not shown the requisite good cause to amend the complaint and NOI to add infringement allegations as to claims 9 and 11 of the ’512 patent and claims 10 and 12 of the ’028 patent because ‘‘Sun Pharma failed to demonstrate why it was unable to bring the allegations [of those claims] in the complaint.’’ Id. at 3–5. No petitions for review of the subject ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The complaint and NOI are amended to add infringement allegations as to claims 17 and 18 of the ’512 patent. The Commission vote for this determination took place on November 20, 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).

Abstract of Information Available

    A total of 145 cultural items have been requested for repatriation. 
The 14 unassociated funerary objects removed from Thistle Mound (CV-12) 
in Sacramento, Sacramento County, CA, include eight pieces of flat 
matting bone needles, three stone discs, one hammerstone, one string of 
Olivella shell beads, and one string of clam shell beads. The 131 
unassociated funerary objects removed from Lovejoy (Dalton) Mound (CV-
16) in Sacramento, Sacramento County, CA include two lots of carbonized 
basketry material, one basket fragment, 36 Haliotis ornament pieces, 
six bipointed bone objects, 19 perforated carnivore canine teeth, 64 
projectile points, and three perforated mica pendants.
    Between 1930 and 1936, the 145 unassociated funerary objects were 
removed by Henry Gibbs, a private collector and looter. In 1937, Paul 
A. Walker purchased Gibbs' Central Valley, California archeological 
collection. Walker was an amateur archeologist and collector who worked 
by himself and with other amateur archeologists, and in collaboration 
with the University of California and Sacramento Junior College. Over 
the course of his life, Walker amassed an extensive archeological 
collection from California's Central Valley and smaller collections 
from Northern and Southern California, and outside of California. In 
1968, Walker's private archeological collection was acquired by the San 
Diego Museum of Man (now Museum of Us) through a purchase/donation 
transaction with Walker's widow, Bessie B. Walker.

Determinations

    The Museum of Us has determined that:
     The 145 unassociated funerary objects described above are 
reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near 
individual human remains, and are connected, either at the time of 
death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony of a Native 
American culture according to the Native American traditional knowledge 
of a lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization. 
The unassociated funerary objects have been identified by a 
preponderance of the evidence as related to human remains, specific 
individuals, or families, or removed from a specific burial site or 
burial area of an individual or individuals with cultural affiliation 
to an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
     There is a reasonable connection between the cultural 
items described in this notice and the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of 
California and the Wilton Rancheria, California.

Requests for Repatriation

    Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items 
in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified 
in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be 
submitted by any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a 
preponderance of the evidence, that

[[Page 92976]]

the requestor is a lineal descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian 
Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
    Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice to a requestor 
may occur on or after December 26, 2024. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, the Museum of Us must determine the most 
appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint 
repatriation of the cultural items are considered a single request and 
not competing requests. The Museum of Us is responsible for sending a 
copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations identified in this notice and to any other consulting 
parties.
