SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

USTR’s letter states that the United 

States reached agreement at the WTO 

Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong in 

December 2005 to provide DFQF market 

access to products from the LDCs (as 

defined by the United Nations), as 

outlined in the decision on proposal 36 

in Annex F of the Hong Kong 

Ministerial Declaration. The letter states 

that the United States has announced 

that it will implement this initiative 

together with the results of the overall 

negotiations under the Doha 

Development Agenda. 

In providing its advice, the USTR 

asked that the Commission consider 

each article in Chapters 1 through 97 of 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTS) for which U.S. 

tariffs or quotas will remain after the 

United States fully implements its 

Uruguay Round tariff commitments, 

taking into account preferential tariff 

treatment currently being provided to 

LDCs under the Generalized System of 

Preferences, the African Growth and 

Opportunity Act, and Caribbean Basin 

Initiative programs. The USTR asked 

that the advice be based on the 2002 

HTS nomenclature, and trade and tariff 

rate data for the year 2006. The USTR 

requested that the advice be provided at 

the 8-digit HTS level, or the lowest level 

of aggregation feasible. 

As requested, the Commission will 

transmit its advice to the USTR by 

August 16, 2007. The USTR indicated 

that the sections of the Commission’s 

report that analyze the probable 

economic effects and other information 

that would reveal any aspect of the 

Commission’s economic effect advice, 

should be classified as confidential 

national security information. 

Written Submissions: No public 

hearing is planned. However, interested 

parties are invited to submit written 

statements concerning the matters to be 

addressed by the Commission in its 

report on this investigation. 

Submissions should be addressed to the 

Secretary to the Commission. To be 

assured of consideration by the 

Commission, written statements related 

to the investigation should be submitted 

to the Commission at the earliest 

practical date but no later than 5:15 p.m. 

on April 3, 2007. All written 

submissions must conform with § 201.8 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 

201.8 of the rules requires that a signed 

original (or copy designated as an 

original) and fourteen (14) copies of 

each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of the 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential business 

information must be deleted (see the 

following paragraph for further

business information). The 

Commission’s rules do not authorize the 

filing of submissions with the Secretary 

by facsimile or electronic means, except

confidential business information must 

also conform with the requirements of 

§ 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.6). 

Section 201.6 of the rules requires that 

the cover of the document and the 

individual pages be clearly marked as to 

whether they are the ‘‘confidential’’ or 

‘‘nonconfidential’’ version, and that the 

confidential business information be 

clearly identified by means of brackets. 

All written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available in the Office of the 

Secretary to the Commission for 

inspection by interested parties. The 

Commission may include some or all of 

the confidential business information 

submitted in the course of this 

investigation in the report it sends to the 

USTR. The Commission does not intend 

to issue a public version of its report at 

this time. Should the Commission issue 

a public version at a later time, it will 

not publish confidential business 

information in a manner that would 

reveal the operations of the firm 

supplying the information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

investigation was instituted on 

December 7, 2006, based on a complaint 

filed by ATEN International Co., Ltd. of 

Taipei, Taiwan, and ATEN Technology, 

Inc. of Irvine, California (collectively, 

‘‘ATEN’’). 71 FR 70983. The complaint 

alleges 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 switches and 

products containing the same by reason 

of infringement of various claims of 

United States Patent No. 7,035,112. The 

complaint named six respondents: 

Belkin Corp. of Compton, California; 

Belkin Logistics, Inc. of Compton, 

California; Emine Technology Co., Ltd. 

of Taipei, Taiwan; JustCom Tech, Inc. of 

San Jose, California; RATOC Systems, 

Inc. of Osaka, Japan; and RATOC 

Systems International, Inc. of Santa 

Clara, California. 

On February 9, 2007, ATEN moved to 

amend the complaint and notice of 

investigation in order to reflect 

corporate name changes of two 

respondents. Specifically, ATEN sought 

to change Belkin Corp. and Belkin 

Logistics, Inc. to Belkin International, 

Inc. and Belkin, Inc., respectively. 

Respondents consented to ATEN’s 

motion. 

On February 20, 2007, the ALJ issued 

an ID (Order No. 4) granting ATEN’s 

motion to amend the complaint and 

notice of investigation. No petitions for 

review were filed. 

Having examined the record of this 

investigation, the Commission has 

determined not to review the ALJ’s 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). 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: March 15, 2007.

Secretary to the Commission.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

[AAG/A Order No. 008–2007] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Removal of a 

System of Records Notice 

Pursuant to the provisions of the 

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 

Department of Justice (DOJ), United 

States Marshals Service (USMS) is 

removing the published notice of a 

Privacy Act system of records: ‘‘Justice/ 

USM–003, United States Marshals 

Service Prisoner Transportation 

System,’’ last published in the Federal 

Register on September 6, 1991, at 56 FR 

44101. 

The notice of USM–003 is obsolete, as 

the records for USM–003 were 

incorporated into ‘‘Justice/USM–005, 

U.S. Marshals Service Prisoner 

Processing and Population 

Management/Prisoner Tracking System 

(PPM/PTS)’’ when USM–005 was first 

published as a new Privacy Act system 

of records on February 3, 1992, at 57 FR 

4059. USM–005 has been subsequently 

updated. 

Therefore, the notice of ‘‘Justice/ 

USM–003, United States Marshals 

Service Prisoner Transportation 

System’’ is removed from the 

Department’s listing of Privacy Act 

systems of records notices, effective on 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register.
