SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

investigation was instituted on October 

26, 2005, based on a complaint filed by 

Symbol Technologies Inc. (‘‘Symbol’’) of 

Holtsville, New York. The complaint, as 

amended, 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 laser bar code 

scanners or scan engines, components 

thereof, or products containing the 

same, by reason of infringement of 

various claims of United States Patent 

Nos. 5,457,308 (‘‘the ’308 patent’’); 

5,545,889 (‘‘the ’889 patent’’); 6,220,514 

(‘‘the ’514 patent’’); 5,262,627 (‘‘the ’627 

patent’’); and 5,917,173 (‘‘the ’173 

patent’’). The complaint named two 

respondents: Metro Technologies Co., 

Ltd. of Suzhou, China; and Metrologic 

Instruments, Inc. of Blackwood, New 

Jersey (collectively, ‘‘Metrologic’’). 

On January 29, 2007, the ALJ issued 

an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) finding a 

violation of Section 337 in the 

importation of certain laser bar code 

scanners and scan engines, components 

thereof, and products containing the 

same, in connection with certain 

asserted claims. The ID also issued 

monetary sanctions against Respondents 

for discovery abuses. Complainant, 

Respondents, and the Commission 

investigative attorney (IA) each filed 

petitions for review of the ID on 

February 8, 2007. They each filed 

responses to each other’s petitions on 

February 16, 2007. 

On February 21, 2007, the 

Commission extended the deadline for 

determining whether to review the 

subject ID by fifteen (15) days, to March 

30, 2007. On March 30, 2007, the 

Commission determined to review the 

final ID in part. Specifically, the 

Commission determined to review: (1) 

The construction of ‘‘single, unitary, 

flexural component’’ in the ’173 patent, 

and related issues of infringement, 

domestic industry, and validity; (2) the 

construction of ‘‘oscillatory support 

means’’ in the ’627 patent, and related 

issues of infringement, domestic 

industry, and validity; (3) the 

construction of claims containing the 

so-called ‘‘central area’’ limitations in 

the ’889 patent, and related issues of 

infringement, domestic industry, and 

validity; (4) the construction of the 

‘‘scan fragment’’ limitation in the ’308 

patent; and (5) the construction of the 

term ‘‘plurality’’ in the ’308 patent. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, including the ALJ’s final 

ID, the Commission has determined to 

make the following modifications to the 

claim constructions set forth in the final 

ID: (1) The ‘‘single, unitary, flexural 

component’’ in the ’173 patent must 

include ‘‘portions integral with each 

other;’’ (2) in the ’627 patent, the 

‘‘oscillatory support means’’ must 

oscillate; (3) limitations in the ’889 

patent containing requirements that the 

folding mirror be ‘‘near’’ or ‘‘adjacent’’

the central area of the collecting mirror 

allow for the folding mirror to be 

positioned close to, and either in front 

of or behind, the central area of the 

collecting mirror, but not mounted to 

the collecting mirror outside of the 

central area; (4) ‘‘scan fragment,’’ as 

used in the ’308 patent, means ‘‘a scan 

that reads less than all of a bar code 

symbol and that would have been 

discarded before the advent of scanstitching techniques;’’ and (5) the term 

‘‘plurality’’ in the ’308 patent means 

‘‘two or more.’’ These changes do not 

affect the ALJ’s findings on validity, 

infringement, or domestic industry. The 

Commission therefore affirms those 

findings, as well as the finding of a 

violation of section 337 by Metrologic 

with regard to certain asserted claims of 

the ’627 and ’173 patents. 

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 210.45 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.45).

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–498 and 50–499] 

STP Nuclear Operating Company; 

Notice of Denial of Amendments to 

Facility Operating Licenses and 

Opportunity for Hearing 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

has denied a request by STP Nuclear 

Operating Company (licensee) for 

amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses, which are numbered NPF–76 

and NPF–80, issued to the licensee for 

operation of the South Texas Project, 

Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively, located 

in Matagorda County, Texas. 

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of 

these amendments was not published in 

the Federal Register. 

The licensee requested the 

amendments by letter dated February 

28, 2006. The purpose of the licensee’s 

amendment request was to revise the 

Technical Specifications to allow 

extension of the integrated leakage rate 

(Type A) test interval from 15 years to 

20 years, while adequately testing the 

impact of the aging degradation of the 

containment pressure boundary 

components. 

The NRC staff has concluded that the 

licensee’s request cannot be granted. 

The licensee was notified of the 

Commission’s denial of the proposed 

change by a letter dated May 29, 2007. 

By 30 days from the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, the licensee may demand a 

hearing with respect to the denial 

described above. Any person whose 

interest may be affected by this 

proceeding may file a written petition 

for leave to intervene pursuant to the 

requirements of 10 CFR 2.309. 

A request for hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene must be filed with the 

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. Attention: 

Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, or 

may be delivered to the Commission’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), located 

at One White Flint North, Public File 

Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland, by the 

above date. Because of potential 

disruptions in delivery to mail to U.S. 

Government offices, it is requested that 

petitions for leave to intervene and 

requests for hearing be transmitted to 

the Secretary of the Commission either 

by means of facsimile transmission to 

301–415–1101 or by e-mail to 

hearingdocket@nrc.gov. A copy of any 

petitions should also be sent to the 

Office of the General Counsel, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, and 

because of potential disruptions in 

delivery of mail to the U.S. Government 

offices, it is requested that copies be 

transmitted either by means of facsimile 

transmission to 301–415–3725 or by email to OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov. A copy 

of any petitions should also be sent to 

A. H. Gutterman, Esq., Morgan, Lewis, 

& Bockius, 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20004, attorney 

for the licensee. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see (1) The application for 

amendment dated February 28, 2006, 

and (2) the Commission’s letter to the 

licensee dated May 29, 2007. 

Documents may be examined, and/or 

copied for a fee, at the NRC’s PDR, 

located at One White Flint North, Public 

File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike
