Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 33 / Wednesday, February 19, 2014 / Notices 9479 

Prussia, Pennsylvania; InterDigital 

Technology Corporation of Wilmington, 

Delaware; and IPR Licensing, Inc. of 

Wilmington, Delaware (collectively, 

‘‘InterDigital’’). 76 FR 54252 (Aug. 31, 

2011). The complaint alleged violations 

of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended 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 wireless devices with 3G 

capabilities and components thereof by 

reason of infringement of certain claims 

of United States Patent Nos. 7,349,540 

(terminated from the investigation); 

7,502,406 (the ’406 patent); 7,536,013 

(the ’013 patent); 7,616,970 (the ’970 

patent); 7,706,332 (the ’332 patent); 

7,706,830 (the ’830 patent); and 

7,970,127 (the ’127 patent). The notice 

of investigation named several 

respondents. The complaint and notice 

of investigation were subsequently 

amended to allege infringement of 

certain claims of United States Patent 

No. 8,009,636 (the ’636 patent) and to 

add the LG entities as respondents. 76 

FR 81527 (Dec. 28, 2011). The 

complaint and notice of investigation 

were further amended to include an 

additional respondent. 77 FR 26788 

(May 7, 2012). 

InterDigital Communications, LLC 

subsequently moved for leave to amend 

the Complaint and Notice of 

Investigation to reflect the fact that it 

converted from a Pennsylvania limited 

liability company to a Delaware 

corporation, and changed its name to 

InterDigital Communications, Inc. The 

ALJ issued an ID granting the motion 

and the Commission determined not to 

review. See Order No. 91 (Jan. 17, 2013); 

Notice of Commission Determination 

Not to Review an Initial Determination 

Granting Complainants’ Motion for 

Leave to Amend the Complaint and 

Notice of Investigation (Feb. 4, 2013). 

On June 4, 2012, the ALJ granted a 

motion by LG under 19 CFR 210.21(a)(2) 

to terminate the investigation as to LG 

based on an arbitration agreement. See 

Order No. 30 (June 4, 2012). The 

Commission determined not to review. 

InterDigital appealed LG’s termination 

from this investigation, and the Federal 

Circuit reversed the Commission’s 

determination. InterDigital Commc’ns, 

LLC v. Int’l Trade Comm’n, 718 F.3d 

1336 (Fed. Cir. 2013). The mandate 

issued on October 10, 2013, returning 

jurisdiction to the Commission. 

On June 28, 2013, the ALJ issued his 

final initial determination (‘‘ID’’), 

finding no violation of section 337 by 

respondents whose products were 

adjudicated (‘‘Adjudicated 

Respondents’’). On December 19, 2013, 

the Commission determined to affirm 

the ALJ’s finding of no violation of 

section 337 as to those respondents with 

the modifications set forth in a 

Commission opinion that issued on 

December 20, 2013. The Commission 

adopted the ALJ’s findings that the ’970, 

’013, and ’127 patents are invalid in 

light of the prior art. However, due to 

the LG remand, the Commission noted 

that all other issues, namely, validity of 

the ’830, ’636, ’406, and ’332 patents, 

domestic industry, and FRAND 

continue to remain under review. 

On January 13, 2014, InterDigital 

moved to withdraw the complaint as to 

LG. On January 23, 2014, the 

Commission investigative attorney filed 

a response in support of the motion. 

That same day, LG filed a response 

stating that it does not oppose the 

motion. 

Having reviewed the motion and 

responses, the Commission has 

determined to grant the motion. The 

motion complies with the requirements 

of Commission Rule 210.21 (19 CFR 

210.21) and includes the required 

statement that there are no agreements, 

written or oral, express or implied, 

between the parties concerning the 

subject matter of this investigation. In 

addition, there appear to be no 

extraordinary circumstances that would 

compel denying the motion. Certain 

Ultrafiltration Membrane Sys. and 

Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337–TA– 

107, Commission Action and Order, at 

2 (Mar. 11, 1982). As all the parties 

observe, terminating the investigation as 

to LG will conserve substantial public 

and private resources. Under these 

circumstances, termination of LG will 

not adversely affect the public health 

and welfare, competitive conditions in 

the U.S. economy, the production of like 

or directly competitive articles in the 

United States, or U.S. consumers. 

In its December 19, 2013, notice 

terminating the Adjudicated 

Respondents, the Commission noted 

that due to the LG remand, issues 

pertaining to the validity of the Power 

Ramp Up (the ’830 and ’636 patents) 

and Power Control (the ’406 and ’332 

patents) patents as well as domestic 

industry and FRAND remained under 

review. The Commission has 

determined to adopt the ALJ’s finding in 

the final ID that the Adjudicated 

Respondents failed to establish by clear 

and convincing evidence that the ’830, 

’636, ’406, and ’332 patents are invalid. 

The Commission has determined to take 

no position on whether InterDigital 

established a domestic industry as 

required by 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(2). In 

view of its finding that Adjudicated 

Respondents did not violate section 337 

because of non-infringement and the 

withdrawal of the remaining 

respondents, the Commission has also 

determined to take no position on the 

FRAND issues. See Beloit Corp. v. 

Valmet Oy, 742 F.2d 1421, 1423 (Fed. 

Cir. 1984) (‘‘The Commission . . . is at 

perfect liberty to reach a ‘no violation’ 

determination on a single dispositive 

issue. That approach may often save the 

Commission, the parties, and this court 

substantial unnecessary effort.’’). 

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 

sections 210.21, 210.42–46 and 210.50 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure (19 CFR 210.21, 210.42– 

46 and 210.50). 

Issued: February 12, 2014. 

By order of the Commission.

Acting Secretary to the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

The Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act provides rules regarding 

rescissions of health coverage for group 

health plans and health insurance 

issuers offering group or individual 

health insurance coverage. Under the 

statute and interim final regulations 

issued by the EBSA, a group health plan 

or a health insurance issuer offering 

group or individual health insurance 

coverage generally must not rescind 

coverage except in the case of fraud or 

an intentional misrepresentation of a 

material fact. Furthermore, coverage 

may not be cancelled unless prior notice 

is provided. Specifically, interim final 

regulations that the EBSA has 

promulgated provide that a group health 

plan or a health insurance issuer 

offering group health insurance 

coverage must provide at least 30 days 

advance notice to an individual before 

coverage may be rescinded. The notice 

must be provided regardless of whether 

the rescission is of group or individual 

coverage; or whether, in the case of 

group coverage, the coverage is insured 

or self-insured, or the rescission applies 

to an entire group or only to an 

individual within the group. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1210–0141. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

February 28, 2014. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 29, 2013 (78 FR 71669). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1210– 

0141. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• 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; 

• 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• 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 submission of 

responses.
