SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on December 18, 2008, based on a 

complaint filed by Spansion, Inc. and 

Spansion LLC both of Sunnyvale, 

California (collectively, ‘‘Spansion’’). 73 

FR 77059–061 (Dec. 18, 2008). The 

complaint alleged violations of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1337) in the importation into the United 

States, the sale for importation, and the 

sale within the United States after 

importation of certain flash memory 

chips and products containing the same 

by reason of infringement of various 

claims of United States Patent Nos. 

6,380,029 (‘‘the ’029 patent’’); 6,080,639 

(‘‘the ’639 patent’’); 6,376,877 (‘‘the ’877 

patent’’); and 5,715,194 (‘‘the ’194 

patent’’). The ’029 patent and the ’639 

patent were subsequently terminated 

from the investigation. The complaint 

named over thirty respondents. On 

March 12, 2010, the complaint and 

notice of investigation were amended to 

terminate several respondents from the 

investigation and to add certain entities 

as respondents. 75 FR 11909–910 (Mar. 

12, 2010). 

On October 22, 2010, the ALJ issued 

his final ID, finding no violation of 

section 337 by Respondents with 

respect to any of the asserted claims of 

the two remaining patents. Specifically, 

the ALJ found that the accused products 

do not infringe the asserted claims of 

the ’877 patent. The ALJ also found that 

none of the cited references anticipated 

the asserted claims and that none of the 

cited references rendered the asserted 

claims of the ’877 patent obvious. The 

ALJ further found that an industry in 

the United States that practices or 

exploits the ’877 patent does not exist, 

nor is such an industry in the process 

of being established, and concluded that 

Spansion failed to satisfy the domestic 

industry requirement of section 337 (19 

U.S.C. 1337(a)(2) and (3)). With respect 

to the ’194 patent, the ALJ found that 

certain accused products do not infringe 

its asserted claims. The ALJ, however, 

found that other accused products met 

all the limitations of the asserted claims 

but found that a prior art reference, 

United States Patent No. 5,621,684 to 

Jung, anticipated the asserted claims 

and rendered them invalid. The ALJ 

also found that the asserted claims were 

not obvious in light of the references 

respondents relied upon to prove 

obviousness. The ALJ further found that 

an industry in the United States that 

practices or exploits the ’194 patent 

does not exist, nor is such an industry 

in the process of being established, and 

concluded that Spansion failed to 

satisfy the domestic industry 

requirement of section 337. 

On November 8, 2010, the 

Commission investigative attorney 

(‘‘IA’’) filed a petition for review of the 

ID, seeking review of the ALJ’s 

determination that Spansion failed to 

satisfy the domestic industry 

requirement by relying on licensing 

efforts that occurred after the complaint 

was filed. The next day, Respondents 

filed a joint contingent petition for 

review, asking the Commission to 

review certain findings in the ID in the 

event that the Commission decides to 

review the ID. Spansion did not petition 

the Commission for review of any 

findings in the ID. On November 16, 

2010, Spansion filed a combined 

response to the IA’s petition for review 

and Respondents’ joint contingent 

petition for review. Also on November 

16, 2010, Respondents filed a joint 

response to the IA’s petition for review. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the ALJ’s final 

ID, the petitions for review, and the 

responses thereto, the Commission has 

determined not to review the subject ID. 

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(h) of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.42(h)). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: December 23, 2010.

BILLING CODE 7020–02–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of a Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Water Act 

Notice is hereby given that on 

December 22, 2010, a proposed Consent 

Decree in United States and the State of 

Ohio v. Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer 

District, Civil Action No. 10–cv–02895 

was lodged with the United States 

District Court for the Northern District 

of Ohio. 

In this action the United States and 

the State of Ohio seeks civil penalties 

and injunctive relief for violations of the 

Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., 

in connection with the Northeast Ohio 

Regional Sewer District’s (‘‘NEORSD’’) 

operation of its municipal wastewater 

and sewer system. The Complaint 

alleges that the NEORSD’s discharges 

from its combined sewer overflows 

(‘‘CSOs’’) violate the Clean Water Act 

because the discharge of sewage violates 

limitations and conditions in NEORSD’s 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) permits. 

The Complaint further alleges that 

NEORSD’s bypasses of wastewater of its 

treatment plants’ processes also violate 

its NPDES permits. 

Under the proposed Consent Decree, 

NEORSD will be required to implement 

injunctive measures, including the 

construction of seven deep underground 

tunnel systems—to reduce its CSO 

discharges—and construction of 

treatment plant expansions, for a total 

cost of approximately $3 billion. 

NEORSD will also invest $42 million in 

green infrastructure that will further 

reduce its CSO discharge by 44 million 

gallons. The Consent Decree allows 

NEORSD the opportunity to propose 

additional green infrastructure projects 

in exchange for a reduction in scope of 

the traditional infrastructure projects. 

NEORSD will pay $1.2 million in civil 

penalties to be split evenly between the 

United States and the State of Ohio. 

NEORSD will also spend $1 million to 

operate a permanent hazardous waste 

collection center in Cuyahoga County 

and $800,000 to improve other water 

resources. Under the proposed Consent 

Decree, the injunctive relief is to be 

implemented over a 25-year period. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the proposed Consent Decree. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General, 

Environment and Natural Resources

20044–7611, and should refer to United 

States v. Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer 

District, D.J. Ref. 90–5–1–1–08177/1. 

The proposed Consent Decree may be 

examined at the Office of the United 

States Attorney, Northern District of 

Ohio, 801 West Superior Avenue, Suite 

400, Cleveland, OH 44113 (contact 

Assistant United States Attorney Steven

BILLING CODE 4410–09–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Federal Bureau of Prisons 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. 

Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a 

draft environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: Notice of Intent to Prepare a 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for development of a Federal 

Correctional Institution and Federal 

Prison Camp by the U.S. Department of 

Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons 

(BOP). Land under consideration for 

development consists of areas located 

on BOP-owned property comprising the 

U.S. Penitentiary (USP) in Leavenworth, 

Kansas. 

Background 

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) 

is responsible for carrying out 

judgments of the federal courts 

whenever a period of confinement is 

ordered. The mission of the BOP is to 

protect society by confining offenders in 

the controlled environments of prisons 

and community-based facilities that are 

safe, humane, cost-efficient and 

appropriately secure, and that provide 

work and other self-improvement 

opportunities to assist offenders in 

becoming law-abiding citizens. 

The BOP is facing continuous growth 

in the number of federal inmates with 

projections showing the federal inmate 

population increasing from 210,227 

inmates at the end of fiscal year 2010 to 

over 226,000 inmates by the end of 

fiscal year 2013. As such, the demand 

for bedspace within the federal prison 

system continues to grow at a significant 

rate. At the present time, the federal 

inmate population exceeds the 

combined rated capacities of the 

existing 116 federal correctional 

facilities. 

The federal inmate population has 

grown dramatically over the past two 

decades. While the BOP is no longer 

experiencing the dramatic population 

increases of between 10,000 and 11,000 

inmates per year that occurred from 

1998 to 2001, the increases are still 

significant and a net growth of over 

6,000 inmates is projected for FY 2011 

and 5,600 is projected for FY 2012. The 

federal inmate population is projected 

to increase and continue to exceed the 

rated capacity of the BOP’s 116 

institutions and current contract 

facilities. Currently, the BOP is 36 

percent above rated capacity systemwide in the federal prison system, 43 

percent over rated capacity at medium 

security facilities, and 53 percent over 

rated capacity at high security 

institutions. As in the past, the BOP will 

continue to increase the number of beds 

through additional contract beds, 

acquisition and adaptation of existing 

facilities, and new prison construction 

as funding permits. Adding capacity 

through these various means, allows the 

BOP the opportunity to work towards 

keeping prison crowding at manageable 

levels to ensure both public safety and 

the safety of inmates within the BOP 

institutions. 

In the face of the continuing increase 

in the federal prison population, one 

way the BOP has expanded its capacity 

is through construction of new 

institutions. As part of this effort, the 

BOP has a facilities planning program 

featuring the identification and 

evaluation of sites for new facilities. The 

BOP routinely identifies prospective 

sites that may be appropriate for 

development of new federal correctional 

facilities determined by the need for 

such facilities in various parts of the 

country and the resources available to 

meet that need. 

The BOP routinely screens and 

evaluates private and public properties 

located throughout the nation for 

possible use and development. Over the 

past decade, the BOP has examined 

prospective sites for new correctional 

facilities development in Alabama, 

Kentucky, New Hampshire, Arizona, 

Mississippi, West Virginia, California 

and other locations around the country 

and has undertaken environmental 

impact studies in compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended.
