Commission ordered the institution of

this investigation on February 4, 2000,

based on a complaint filed by Intel

Corp., of Santa Clara, California

(‘‘Intel’’). 65 FR 7059 (2000). The

complaint named five respondents: VIA

Technologies, Inc., of Taipei, Taiwan;

VIA Technologies, Inc., of Fremont,

California (collectively, ‘‘VIA’’); First

International Computer, Inc., of Taipei,

Taiwan; First International Computer of

America, Inc., of Fremont, California;

and Everex Systems, Inc., of Fremont,

California (collectively, ‘‘FIC’’). Id. The

complaint, as supplemented, alleges

violations of section 337 of the Tariff

Act of 1930 in the importation into the

United States, sale for importation, and/

or sale within the United States after

importation of certain integrated circuit

chipsets and products containing same

by reason of infringement of claims 1–

3 and 15–16 of U.S. Letters Patent

5,333,276, claims 1–4, 10, 15, 22, 27–30,

36–37, 44–45, and 49 of U.S. Letters

Patent 5,740,385, claims 1–12 and 28–

48 of U.S. Letters Patent 5,581,782 (‘‘the

‘782 patent’’), and claims 1–31 of U.S.

Letters Patent 5,548,733.

On March 29, 2000, complainant Intel

filed a motion to amend the complaint

and notice of investigation by deleting

claims 1–11, 32–36, and 39–48 of the

‘782 patent and by adding the phrase

‘‘components thereof’’ to the text and

caption of the notice of investigation.

Respondents opposed the motion to the

extent that it sought to add the phrase

‘‘components thereof’’ to the notice of

investigation. The Commission

investigative attorney supported the

motion in its entirety.

On April 10, 2000, the presiding ALJ

issued an ID (Order No. 6) granting

Intel’s motion, thereby amending the

complaint to delete claims 1–11, 32–36,

and 39–48 of the ‘782 patent, and

amending the notice of investigation to

delete claims 1–11, 32–36, and 39–48 of

the ‘782 patent and add the phrase

‘‘components thereof’’ to the caption

and the text. No party petitioned for

review of the 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 of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR

§ 210.42). Copies of the ALJ’s ID and all

other nonconfidential documents filed

in connection with this investigation are

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Office of Community Oriented Policing

Services; FY 2000 Community Policing

Discretionary Grants

AGENCY: Office of Community Oriented

Policing Services, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice,

Office of Community Oriented Policing

Services (‘‘COPS’’) announces a new

grant program, COPS in Schools,

designed to combat school violence by

helping local law enforcement agencies

hire additional community policing

officers to work in schools. This

program provides an incentive for law

enforcement agencies to build working

relationships with schools and to use

community policing efforts to combat

school violence. The COPS in Schools

program will help reduce the local

match requirement for local law

enforcement agencies seeking to hire

additional new officers to be used in or

around schools.

DATES: The application deadline for CIS

is June 16, 2000. Applications must be

postmarked by this date to be

considered for funding. Due to limited

funding, applications that are not

funded this Fiscal Year will be carried

over for consideration in Fiscal year

2001 (subject the availability of Fiscal

Year 2001 funding). If your agency

already was awarded a FAST, AHEAD

or UHP grant, you may request

additional officers at any time. Note on

your application if you are requesting

officers that will be assigned to primary

or secondary schools.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of an

application or for more information,

please call the U.S. Department of

Justice Response Center at 1–800–421–

6770 or (202) 307–1480, or visit the

COPS web site at http://www.usdoj.gov/

cops/.

Departments that have a pending

application under the Universal Hiring

Program that are interested in

redirecting that request to the COPS in

Schools initiative should contact their

grant advisor at 1–800–421–6770.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview

The Violent Crime Control and Law

Enforcement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–

322) authorizes the Department of

Justice to make grants to increase

deployment of law enforcement officers

devoted to community policing on the

streets and rural routes in this nation.

The COPS in Schools program is

specifically designed to combat school

violence.

Many communities are discovering

that trained, sworn Law enforcement

officers assigned to schools make a

difference. The presence of these

officers provides schools with on-site

security and a direct link to local law

enforcement agencies.

Community policing officers typically

perform a variety of functions within

the school including teaching crime

prevention and substance-abuse classes,

monitoring troubled students, and

building respect for law enforcement

among students. School Resource

Officers combine the functions of law

enforcement and education.

The COPS in Schools initiative

provides an incentive for law

enforcement agencies to build working

relationships with schools to use

community policing efforts to combat

school violence.

The COPS in Schools initiative

reduces the local match requirement for

law enforcement agencies seeking to

hire additional officers in and around

schools.

Grants will be awarded to provide for

a designated portion of the salary and

benefits of each new officer over three

years. The maximum grant amount is

$125,000 per officer; any remainder is

paid with state or local funds. To

qualify for funding, officers must be

hired on or after the grant award start

date. Funding begins when new officers

are hired or on the award date

(whichever is later). Funds are

distributed over the course of the grant.

COPS grants must not replace funds

that eligible agencies otherwise would

have devoted to hire officers in the

absence of the COPS funding. In other

words, any hiring under the COPS in

Schools program must be in addition to,

not in lieu of, officers that otherwise

would have been hired or currently

employed officers. Grant recipients

must develop a written plan to retain

their COPS-funded officer positions

with State of local funding after Federal

funding ends. This plan must be

submitted with the application.

To be eligible to receive funding

under this grant program, applicants

must be eligible to receive funding

under the current guidelines established

for the Universal Hiring Program (UHP).

UHP guidelines are available from the

U.S. Department of Justice Response

Center (1–800–421–6770). Applicants

must also provide assurance that the

officers employed under this program

will be assigned to work in primary or

secondary schools and must enter into

a partnership agreement with either a

specific school official or with an

official with general educational

oversight authority in that jurisdiction.

All applicants must also submit a

memorandum of understanding (MOU).

The MOU, which must be signed by

both the Law Enforcement Executive

and the School Official with general

educational oversight, is an agreement

between the parties involved whose

purpose is to define the roles and

responsibilities of the individuals and

partners involved.

In addition to these general program

requirements, agencies seeking funding

under this program will be asked to

provide supporting documentation in

the following areas: problem

identification and justification,

community policing strategies to be

used by the officers, quality and level of

commitment to the effort, and the link

to community policing.

All COPS in Schools awards will

contain an ‘‘Additional Grant

Condition’’ that must be signed and

returned to the COPS Office. This

condition requires the funded officer(s)

and a school administrator to attend a

COPS in Schools Training. Costs for

training, per diem, travel, and lodging

for attendance of required participants

will be reimbursed by the COPS Office

up to a maximum of $1100.

An award under the COPS in Schools

grant program will not affect the

eligibility of an agency to receive

awards under any other COPS program.

(The Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance (CFDA) reference for this program

is 16.710.)
