Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-hour’’ Cost 

Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour’’ cost burdens.

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB Control 

Number. 

Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA requires each agency ‘‘* * * to 

provide notice * * * and otherwise 

consult with members of the public and 

affected agencies concerning each 

proposed collection of information 

* * *.’’ Agencies must specifically 

solicit comments to: (a) Evaluate 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the agency 

to perform its duties, including whether 

the information is useful; (b) evaluate 

the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register on March 

26, 2004 (69 FR 15897), announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. We 

received no comments in response to 

the notice. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. OMB 

has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by November 26, 

2004. 

Public Comment Policy: We will post 

all comments in response to this notice 

on our Web site at http://

www.mrm.mms.gov/Laws_R_D/InfoColl/

InfoColCom.htm. We will also make 

copies of the comments available for 

public review, including names and 

addresses of respondents, during regular 

business hours at our offices in 

Lakewood, Colorado. Upon request, we 

will withhold an individual 

respondent’s home address from the 

public record, as allowable by law. 

There also may be circumstances in 

which we would withhold from the 

rulemaking record a respondent’s 

identity, as allowable by law. If you 

request that we withhold your name 

and/or address, state your request 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comment. However, we will not 

consider anonymous comments. We 

will make all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Inv. No. 337–TA–500] 

In the Matter of Certain Purple 

Protective Gloves; Notice of 

Commission Decision Not To Review 

an Initial Determination Finding a 

Violation of Section 337 and That the 

Domestic Industry Requirement Is Met; 

Schedule for Written Submissions on 

Remedy, Public Interest, and Bonding

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission has determined not to 

review an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) 

(Order No. 17) issued by the presiding 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) 

finding a violation of section 337 and 

that the domestic industry requirement 

has been met in the above-captioned 

investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael Diehl, Esq., Office of the 

General Counsel, U.S. International 

Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 

205–3095. Copies of all nonconfidential 

documents filed in connection with this 

investigation are or will be available for 

inspection during official business 

hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the 

Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

International Trade Commission, 500 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436, 

telephone 202–205–2000. General 

information concerning the Commission 

may be obtained by accessing its 

Internet server (http://www.usitc.gov). 

The public record for this investigation 

may be viewed on the Commission’s 

electronic docket (EDIS) at http://

edis.usitc.gov. Hearing-impaired 

persons are advised that information on 

the matter can be obtained by contacting 

the Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–

205–1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on November 26, 2003, based on a 

complaint filed by Kimberly-Clark 

Corporation and Safeskin Corporation 

(collectively ‘‘K-C/Safeskin’’). The 

complaint alleged violations of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the 

importation and sale of certain purple 

protective gloves by reason of 

infringement of U.S. Registered 

Trademark Nos. 2,596,539, 2,533,260, 

and 2,593,382. 

The complaint named seven 

respondents, six of which have entered 

into settlement agreements with K-C/

Safeskin. On May 24, 2004, the 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued 

an initial determination (Order No. 15) 

terminating the investigation as to 

Latexx Partners Berhad and Medtexx 

Partners on the basis of a confidential 

settlement agreement. On June 1, 2004, 

the ALJ issued another initial 

determination (Order No. 16), 

terminating the investigation as to The 

Delta Group; Delta Hospital Supply, 

Inc.; Delta Medical Systems, Inc.; and 

Delta Medical Supply Group, Inc. on the 

basis of a settlement agreement and a 

consent order. The Commission 

determined not to review those initial 

determinations. 

The seventh respondent—Dash 

Medical Gloves, Inc. (‘‘Dash’’)—failed to 

reply to the complaint and notice of 

investigation. Dash subsequently 

indicated that it ‘‘will not oppose entry 

of a Default in this matter.’’ On May 24, 

2004, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 

14) finding Dash in default pursuant to 

Commission rule 210.16(a)(1). The 

Commission determined not to review 

the initial determination. 

On September 2, 2004, K-C/Safeskin 

filed a motion pursuant to Commission 

rule 210.18 for summary determination 

on the issues of violation of section 337 

and the existence of a domestic 

industry. The motion also sought a 

general exclusion order. On September 

13, 2004, the Commission’s 

Investigative Attorney (‘‘IA’’) filed a 

response in support of the motion. 

On September 23, 2004, the ALJ 

issued an initial determination (Order 

No. 17) finding ‘‘substantial, reliable, 

and probative evidence’’ of a violation 

of section 337 by reason of Dash’s 

importation and sale of the accused 

gloves and the existence of a domestic 

industry. No party petitioned for review 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 206 / Tuesday, October 26, 2004 / Notices 62455

of the ID. As to remedy, the ALJ 

recommended the issuance of a general 

exclusion order. He also recommended 

that the bond permitting temporary 

importation during the Presidential 

review period be set at 100 percent of 

the value of the infringing imported 

product. 

In connection with the final 

disposition of this investigation, the 

Commission may issue an order that 

could result in the exclusion of the 

subject articles from entry into the 

United States, and/or issue a cease and 

desist order that could result in the 

remaining respondent being required to 

cease and desist from engaging in unfair 

acts in the importation and sale of such 

articles. Accordingly, the Commission is 

interested in receiving written 

submissions that address the form of 

remedy, if any, that should be ordered. 

If a party seeks exclusion of an article 

from entry into the United States for 

purposes other than entry for 

consumption, it should so indicate and 

provide information establishing that 

activities involving other types of entry 

either are adversely affecting it or likely 

to do so. For background, see In the 

Matter of Certain Devices for Connecting 

Computers via Telephone Lines, Inv. 

No. 337–TA–360, USITC Pub. No. 2843 

(December 1994) (Commission 

Opinion). 

If the Commission contemplates some 

form of remedy, it must consider the 

effects of that remedy upon the public 

interest. The factors the Commission 

will consider in this investigation 

include the effect that an exclusion 

order would have on (1) the public 

health and welfare, (2) competitive 

conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. 

production of articles that are like or 

directly competitive with those that are 

subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. 

consumers. The Commission is 

therefore interested in receiving written 

submissions that address the 

aforementioned public interest factors 

in the context of this investigation. 

If the Commission orders some form 

of remedy, the President has 60 days to 

approve or disapprove the 

Commission’s action. During this 

period, the subject articles would be 

entitled to enter the United States under 

a bond, in an amount determined by the 

Commission and prescribed by the 

Secretary of the Treasury. The 

Commission is therefore interested in 

receiving submissions concerning the 

amount of the bond that should be 

imposed. 

Written Submissions: The parties to 

the investigation, interested government 

agencies, and any other interested 

parties are encouraged to file written 

submissions on remedy, the public 

interest, and bonding. Such submissions 

should address the September 23, 2004 

recommended determination by the ALJ 

on remedy and bonding. Complainants 

and the Commission’s investigative 

attorney are also requested to submit 

proposed orders for the Commission’s 

consideration. The written submissions 

and proposed orders must be filed no 

later than close of business on 

November 12, 2004. Reply submissions, 

if any, must be filed no later than the 

close of business on November 19, 2004. 

No further submissions on these issues 

will be permitted unless otherwise 

ordered by the Commission. 

Persons filing written submissions 

must file with the Office of the Secretary 

the original document and 14 true 

copies thereof on or before the deadlines 

stated above. Any person desiring to 

submit a document (or portion thereof) 

to the Commission in confidence must 

request confidential treatment unless 

the information has already been 

granted such treatment during the 

proceedings. All such requests should 

be directed to the Secretary of the 

Commission and must include a full 

statement of the reasons that the 

Commission should grant such 

treatment. See section 201.6 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, 19 CFR 201.6. Documents for 

which confidential treatment by the 

Commission is sought will be treated 

accordingly. All nonconfidential written 

submissions will be available for public 

inspection at the Office of the Secretary. 

This action is taken under the 

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and sections 

210.16 and 210.42 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 

210.16, 210.42.

Issued: October 19, 2004.

By order of the Commission. 

Marilyn R. Abbott, 

Secretary to the Commission.
