Contractors service area covers parts of 

Fresno, Madera, Merced, and Stanislaus 

counties. The agricultural water users 

that would benefit from the potential 

transfers are located in the counties of 

Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Merced, 

Madera, Fresno, San Benito, Santa 

Clara, Tulare, Kings, and Kern. The 

wetland habitat areas that may receive 

the water are located in Merced, Fresno, 

Tulare, and Kern counties. Water 

purchased for use by Reclamation and/

or DWR for the EWA may be provided 

to CVP contractors in the West San 

Joaquin and San Felipe divisions to 

replace water bypassed at Tracy 

Pumping Plant pursuant to EWA fish 

protection actions. 

The Draft EIS/EIR addressed impacts 

associated with water development by 

the Exchange Contractors and related 

effects associated with water use by CVP 

contractors and the wildlife refuges. 

Resources evaluated for potential direct 

and indirect effects from the proposed 

transfer program include: surface water, 

groundwater, biological (vegetation, 

wildlife, and fisheries), air quality, land 

use (including agriculture), 

socioeconomics, Indian Trust Assets, 

and environmental justice. An 

evaluation of cumulative hydrologic and 

water service area impacts associated 

with reasonably foreseeable actions is 

included also. 

One public hearing was held on July 

7, 2004 in Los Banos, California.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on June 8, 2004, based on a complaint 

filed by Thomas J. Baumgartner and 

Hillbilly Smokehouse, Inc., both of 

Rogers, Arkansas, 69 FR 32044. The 

complaint alleges violations of section 

337 in the importation into the United 

States, sale for importation, or sale 

within the United States after 

importation of certain pet food treats 

that infringe U.S. Design Patent No. 

383,886. The notice of investigation lists 

six companies as respondents, including 

TsingTao China. 

On August 18, 2004, complainants 

moved pursuant to section 337(g) and 

Commission rule 210.16(b) for issuance 

of an order directing, inter alia,

TsingTao China, to show cause why it 

should not be found in default. 

Complainants noted that TsingTao 

China had not responded to the 

complaint and notice of investigation. 

On August 30, 2004, the Commission 

investigative attorney filed a response 

supporting complainant’s motion for an 

order requiring TsingTao China to show 

cause why it should not be held in 

default. 

On October 5, 2004, the ALJ issued 

Order No. 6, which ordered TsingTao 

China to show cause by October 12, 

2004, why it should not be found in 

default. TsingTao China did not respond 

to the order to show cause. On 

November 19, 2004, the ALJ issued an 

ID (Order No. 8) finding TsingTao China 

in default. Under Commission rule 

210.16(b)(3), TsingTao China is deemed 

to have waived its right to appear, to be 

served with documents, and to contest 

the allegations at issue in this 

investigation. No petitions for review of 

the ID were filed. 

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 

section 210.42 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.42).

Issued: December 9, 2004.

By order of the Commission. 

Marilyn R. Abbott, 

Secretary to the Commission.
