In accordance with section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in March 2017, published a consumer product safety standard for infant bath tubs. The standard incorporated by reference the applicable ASTM voluntary standard. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating standards that the Commission has issued under the authority of section 104(b) of the CPSIA. In accordance with that process, we are publishing this direct final rule, revising the CPSC's standard for infant bath tubs to incorporate by reference a more recent version of the applicable ASTM standard.

Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission on September 12, 2018, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, on behalf of ASML Netherlands B.V. of the Netherlands; ASML US, L.P. of Chandler, Arizona; and ASML US, LLC of Chandler, Arizona. The complaint alleges violations 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 semiconductor lithography systems and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,295,283 (``the '283 patent''); U.S. Patent No. 7,403,264 (``the '264 patent''); and U.S. Patent No. 9,188,880 (``the '880 patent''). The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by the applicable Federal Statute.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) revises its rules to allow the Commission to assign numbers by competitive bidding, on a first-come, first-served basis, by an alternative assignment methodology, or by a combination of methodologies. The Commission further establishes a single round, sealed-bid Vickrey auction for roughly 17,000 mutually exclusive numbers in the 833 code, set aside in the process of opening that code. Government and non-profit entities may file a petition seeking that a number be set aside from the auction for use for public health and safety purposes, and net proceeds from the auction will offset the costs of toll free numbering administration. Full auction procedures will be established in subsequent public notices. The Commission also revises its toll free rules to allow for the development of a secondary market for toll free numbers assigned in an auction, and to modernize its toll free rules to make them consistent with the other revisions adopted in this document and with industry terminology and practice.
