Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Notices 37243 

improvements to the process and 

criteria utilized during exclusion order 

enforcement activities. 

Recommendations should include, but 

need not be limited to: Changes to 

agency policies, practices or methods, 

guidance and regulation. 

Within six months of the issuance of 

the Administration’s 2013 Joint 

Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property 

Enforcement, the interagency working 

group will prepare recommendations. 

Questions 

1. Please describe your, positive or 

negative, experience with the exclusion 

order enforcement processes. 

2. Are the procedures, criteria, and 

regulations utilized by CBP when 

enforcing exclusion orders clear, 

accessible, and understood? 

a. Please provide recommendations 

for enhancements to procedures, 

criteria, and regulations used during 

enforcement of exclusion orders? 

3. Are the procedures and criteria 

used by CBP to evaluate the scope of an 

exclusion order effective and clearly 

understood? 

a. If not, please provide a description 

of the problem experienced? 

b. What improvements could be made 

to the procedures and criteria used by 

CBP when evaluating the scope of an 

exclusion order to assist with the 

determining whether an import is 

covered by the claims of the infringing 

patent? 

c. Under CBP’s current ruling request 

process, 19 CFR part 177, an importer 

may seek a prospective ruling on 

whether a redesigned or new product 

falls within the scope of an exclusion 

order. Determinations of this kind are 

often initiated at the request of the 

importer (typically the product 

manufacturer) and are conducted 

through ex parte proceeding. Would 

development of an inter partes 

proceeding involving relevant parties to 

the ITC investigation enhance the 

efficiency, transparency and efficacy of 

the exclusion order enforcement process 

with respect to determining the scope of 

the exclusion order? 

4. Are the processes used by CBP 

timely and effective in notifying 

interested parties, for example, ITC 

litigants, importers and the general 

public, of determinations made 

regarding the scope of an exclusion 

order and, in turn, applicability to the 

imported product? 

5. What further procedural changes or 

collaborative steps could be undertaken 

between the ITC and CBP to improve 

the efficacy of exclusion order 

enforcement efforts? 

6. Do exclusion orders currently 

provide sufficient level of detail and 

direction necessary to assist CBP with 

the challenges of enforcement? 

7. Please identify any additional areas 

of consideration regarding 

improvements that could be undertaken 

by CBP or the ITC to further improve 

upon the exclusion order enforcement 

processes?

United States Intellectual Property 

Enforcement Coordinator, Executive Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services (IMLS) is an independent 

Federal grant-making agency and is the 

primary source of federal support for the 

Nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 

museums. IMLS provides a variety of 

grant programs to assist the Nation’s 

museums and libraries in improving 

their operations and enhancing their 

services to the public. IMLS is 

responsible for identifying national 

needs for and trends in museum, 

library, and information services; 

measuring and reporting on the impact 

and effectiveness of museum, library 

and information services throughout the 

United States, including programs 

conducted with funds made available by 

IMLS; identifying, and disseminating 

information on, the best practices of 

such programs; and developing plans to 

improve museum, library and 

information services of the United 

States and strengthen national, State, 

local, regional, and international 

communications and cooperative 

networks (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20 

U.S.C. 9108). 

II. Current Actions 

Pursuant to Public Law 107–279, this 

Public Libraries Survey collects annual 

descriptive data on the universe of 

public libraries in the U.S. and the 

Outlying Areas. Information such as

public service hours per year, 

circulation of library books, number of 

librarians, population of legal service 

area, expenditures for library collection, 

programs for children and young adults, 

staff salary data, and access to 

technology, etc., would be collected. 

The Public Libraries Survey has been 

conducted by the Institute of Museum 

and Library Services under the 

clearance number 3137–0074, which

that their sub-entities (i.e., public 

libraries in their respective States and 

Outlying Areas) provide information to
