Additional announcements of 

individual contract actions may be

Project Act of 1939 and the rules and 

regulations published in 52 FR 11954, 

April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), 

Reclamation will publish notice of 

proposed or amendatory contract 

actions for any contract for the delivery 

of project water for authorized uses in

contract execution. Announcments may 

be in the form of news releases, legal 

notices, official letters, memorandums, 

or other forms of written material. 

Meetings, workshops, and/or hearings 

may also be used, as appropriate, to 

provide local publicity. The public 

participation procedures do not apply to 

proposed contracts for the sale or 

surplus or interim irrigation water for a 

term of 1 year or less. Either of the 

contracting parties may invite the public 

to observe contract proceedings. All 

public participation procedures will be 

coordinated with those involved in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to 

the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation 

Procedures’’ for water resource-related 

contract negotiations, published in 47 

FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation 

is provided of all proposed contractual 

actions in each of the five Reclamation 

regions. When contract negotiations are 

completed, and prior to execution, each 

proposed contract form must be 

approved by the Secretary of the 

Interior, or pursuant to delegated or 

redelegated authority, the Commissioner 

of Reclamation or one of the regional 

directors. In some instances, 

congressional review and approval of a 

report, water rate, or other terms and 

coditions of the contract may be 

invovled. 

Public participation in and receipt of 

comments on contract proposals will be 

facilitated by adherence to the following 

procedures: 

1. Only persons authorized to act on 

behalf of the contracting entities may 

negotiate the terms and conditions of a 

specific contract proposal. 

2. Advance notice of meetings or 

hearings will be furnished to those 

parties that have made a timely written 

request for such notice to the 

approproate regional or project office of 

Reclamation. 

3. Written correspondence regarding 

contracts may be made available to the 

general public pursuant to the terms and 

procedures of the Freedom of 

Information Act, as needed. 

4. Written comments on a proposed 

contract or contract action must be 

submitted to the appropriate regional 

officials at the locations and within the 

time limits set forth in the advance 

public notices. 

5. All written comments received and 

testimony presented at any public 

hearing will be reviewed and 

summarized by the appropriate regional 

office for use by the contract approving 

authority. 

6. Copies of specific proposed 

contracts may be obtained from the 

appropriate regional director or his 

designated public contact as they 

become available for review and 

comment. 

7. In the event modifications are made 

in the form of a proposed contract, the 

appropriate regional director shall 

determine whether republication of the 

notice and/or extension of the comment 

period is necessary. 

Factors considered in making such a 

determination shall include, but are not 

limited to (i) The significance of the 

modification, and (ii) the degree of 

public interest which has been 

expressed over the course of the 

negotiations. At a minimum, the 

regional director shall furnish revised 

contracts to all parties who requested 

the contract in response to the initial 

public notice.

In the Matter of Certain Lighting 

Products, Components Thereof, and 

Products Containing the Same; Notice 

of a Commission Determination Not To 

Review an Initial Determination 

Terminating the Investigation on the 

Basis of a Settlement Agreement 

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’’) of 

the presiding administrative law judge 

(‘‘ALJ’’) in the above-captioned 

investigation terminating the 

investigation in its entirety on the basis 

of a settlement agreement. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michael K. Haldenstein, Office of the 

General Counsel, U.S. International 

Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 

708–2301. Copies of non-confidential 

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 also be obtained by accessing its 

Internet server at 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 

this matter can be obtained by 

contacting the Commission’s TDD 

terminal on (202) 205–1810. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on February 27, 2007, based on a 

complaint filed by Cooper Lighting, Inc. 

of Peachtree City, Georgia. 72 FR 8790 

(February 27, 2007). The complaint, as 

supplemented, alleged violations of 

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 

U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’) in the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain lighting products, components 

thereof, and products containing the 

same by reason of infringement of 

claims 23, 26, and 27 of U.S. Patent No. 

6,082,878 and claims 1 and 7 of U.S. 

Patent No. 5,662,413. The complaint 

further alleged that an industry in the 

United States exists as required by 

subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The 

complaint requested that the 

Commission issue an exclusion order 

and cease and desist orders. The 

Commission named two companies as 

respondents, Cordelia Lighting, Inc. and 

Jimway, Inc. Both companies are located 

in Rancho Dominguez, California. 

On July 12, 2007, Cooper and the two 

respondents filed a joint motion to 

terminate the investigation based upon 

a settlement agreement. The 

Commission investigative attorney filed 

a response in support of the motion and 

no party opposed the motion. On July 

25, 2007, the ALJ issued the subject ID 

(Order No. 6) that grants the parties’

joint motion and terminates the 

investigation on the basis of a settlement 

agreement. No petitions for review were 

filed and the Commission has 

determined not to review the ID. No 

respondents remain in the investigation 

and the investigation is therefore 

terminated in its entirety. 

This action is taken under the 

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, 

and Commission rules 210.21, 210.42, 

19 CFR 210.21, 210.42. 

By order of the Commission.
