Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is 

required to document and identify any 

potential risks associated with 

collecting this information. There is no 

assurance of confidentiality provided to 

the respondents. 

The burden estimates provided in 

response to Item 12 above are based 

upon definitive proposals reported by 

DHS and its Components to the Federal 

Procurement Data System (FPDS) for 

Fiscal Year 2016. No program changes 

occurred and there have been no 

changes to the information being 

collected. However, the burden was 

adjusted to reflect an agency adjustment 

increase of 103,600 in the number of 

respondents within DHS for Fiscal Year 

2016, as well as an increase in the 

average hourly wage rate. In addition, 

the average response per respondent 

went from 7 to 3.5 per response, a 

difference of 3.5 hours. The change is a 

result of the DHS Heads of Contracting 

Activities’ reassessment of the response 

time required for each of the applicable 

clauses. 

This is an extension of a currently 

approved collection, 1600–0005. DHS 

previously published this ICR in the 

Federal Register on Tuesday, March 13, 

2018 at 83 FR 10865 for a 60-day public 

comment period, and is soliciting public 

comment for another 30 days. OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

this collection on the respondents, 

including through the use of 

information technology.

evaluation and ranking of state 

proposals by a review panel composed 

of representatives from the U.S.

Annual data preservation priorities 

are provided in the Program 

Announcement as guidance for 

applicants to consider when submitting 

proposals. Since its inception in 2007, 

NGGDPP has awarded 46 states with 

$7,043,000, which, when matched or 

exceeded by the states, amounts to over 

$14 million invested in the rescue and 

preservation efforts. This notice 

concerns the collection of information 

that is sufficient and relevant to 

evaluate and select proposals for 

funding. We will protect information

the project abstracts and identify states 

for awarded/funded projects only.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on April 18, 2018, based on a complaint 

filed by Jump Rope Systems, LLC of 

Louisville, Colorado (‘‘Complainant’’). 

83 FR 17190 (Apr. 18, 2018). The 

complaint, as supplemented, alleges 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

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

1337, based upon the importation into 

the United States, the sale for 

importation, and the sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain jump rope systems by reason of 

infringement of certain claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 7,789,809 and 8,136,208. 

The notice of investigation named one 

respondent: Suzhou Everise Fitness Co., 

Ltd. of Jiangsu, China (‘‘Respondent’’). 

The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) also was named 

as a party to the investigation. 

The complaint and notice of 

investigation were served on 

Respondent on April 13, 2018. 

However, Respondent did not respond 

to the complaint or notice of 

investigation. 

On May 31, 2018, Complainant filed 

an amended motion for an order to 

show cause directing Respondent to 

demonstrate why it should not be found 

in default for failing to respond to the 

complaint and notice of investigation, or 

otherwise participate in the 

investigation. On June 6, 2018, OUII 

filed a response, supporting the motion. 

No other responses were filed. 

On June 12, 2018, the presiding 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued 

Order No. 5, ordering Respondent to 

show why it should not be found in 

default. No response was filed. 

On July 10, 2018, the ALJ issued the 

subject ID (Order No. 6), finding 

Respondent in default under 

Commission Rule 210.16 (19 CFR 

210.16) and terminating the proceedings 

before the ALJ in their entirety. No 

petitions for review were filed. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. Section 

337(g)(1) (35 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)) and 

Commission Rule 210.16(c) (19 CFR 

210.16(c)) authorize the Commission to 

order relief against a respondent found 

in default, unless, after considering the 

public interest, it finds that such relief 

should not issue. 

In connection with the final 

disposition of this investigation, the 

Commission may (1) issue an order that 

could result in the exclusion of the 

subject articles from entry into the 

United States, and/or (2) issue a cease 

and desist order that could result in 

Respondent being required to cease and 

desist from engaging in unfair acts in 

the importation and sale of such 

articles. Accordingly, the Commission is 

interested in receiving written 

submissions that address the form of 

remedy, if any, that should be ordered. 

If a party seeks exclusion of an article 

from entry into the United States for
