quality of service offered to the public. 

If this information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Board’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The Board will only process a 

collection under this generic clearance 

if it meets the following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• the collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• the collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• personally identifiable information 

is collected only to the extent necessary 

and is not retained; 

• information gathered is used only 

internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and not for release outside of 

the agency; 

• information gathered is used for the 

purpose of substantially informing 

influential policy decisions; and 

• information gathered will yield 

qualitative information, and the 

collections will not be designed or 

expected to yield statistically reliable 

results or used as though the results are 

generalizable to the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but will not yield data that 

can be generalized to the overall 

population. Such data uses would 

require more rigorous designs than the 

collections covered by this notice. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

Under the PRA, a federal agency that 

conducts or sponsors a collection of 

information must display a currently 

valid OMB control number. A collection 

of information, which is defined in 44 

U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c), 

includes agency requirements that 

persons submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to the agency, third 

parties, or the public. Section 3507(b) of 

the PRA requires, concurrent with an 

agency’s submitting a collection to OMB 

for approval, a 30-day notice and 

comment period through publication in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice may be made available to the 

public by the Board. For this reason, 

please do not include in your comments 

information of a confidential nature, 

such as sensitive personal information 

or proprietary information. If you send 

an electronic comment (e-file or email), 

your email address is automatically 

captured and may be accessed if your 

comments are made public. Please note 

that responses to this public comment 

request containing any routine notice 

about the confidentiality of the 

communication will be treated as public 

comments that may be made available to 

the public notwithstanding the 

inclusion of the routine notice.

2021 Review of Notorious Markets for 

Counterfeiting and Piracy: Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of the United 

States Trade Representative (USTR) 

requests comments that identify online 

and physical markets to be considered 

for inclusion in the 2021 Review of 

Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting 

and Piracy (Notorious Markets List). The 

Notorious Markets List identifies 

examples of online and physical 

markets that reportedly engage in and 

facilitate substantial copyright piracy or 

trademark counterfeiting. The issue 

focus for the 2021 Notorious Markets 

List will examine the adverse impact of 

counterfeiting on workers involved with 

the manufacture of counterfeit goods. 

DATES: October 11, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. 

ET: Deadline for submission of written 

comments. 

October 25, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. ET: 

Deadline for submission of rebuttal 

comments and other information USTR 

should consider during the review. 

ADDRESSES: You should submit written 

comments through the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov (Regulations.gov). 

Follow the instructions for submitting 

comments in section III below. For 

alternatives to online submissions, 

please contact Jacob Ewerdt at 

notoriousmarkets@ustr.eop.gov or (202) 

395–4510 before transmitting a 

comment and in advance of the relevant 

deadline. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jacob Ewerdt, Director for Innovation 

and Intellectual Property, at 

notoriousmarkets@ustr.eop.gov or (202) 

395–4510. You can find information 

about the Special 301 Review, including 

the Notorious Markets List, at 

www.ustr.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The United States is concerned with 

trademark counterfeiting and copyright 

piracy on a commercial scale because 

these illicit activities cause significant 

financial losses for right holders, 

legitimate businesses, and governments. 

In addition, they undermine critical 

U.S. comparative advantages in 

innovation and creativity to the 

detriment of American workers, and can 

pose significant risks to consumer 

health and safety and privacy and 

security. Conducted under the auspices 

of the Special 301 program and the 

authority of the U.S. Trade 

Representative to address practices that 

have significant adverse impact on the 

value of U.S. innovation, the Notorious 

Markets List identifies examples of 

online and physical markets that 

reportedly engage in and facilitate 

substantial copyright piracy or 

trademark counterfeiting that infringe 

on U.S. intellectual property (IP). 

Beginning in 2006, USTR identified 

notorious markets in the annual Special 

301 Report. In 2010, USTR announced 

that it would publish the Notorious 

Markets List as an Out-of-Cycle Review, 

separate from the annual Special 301 

Report. USTR published the first 

Notorious Markets List in February 

2011. USTR develops the annual 

Notorious Markets List based upon 

public comments solicited through the 

Federal Register and in consultation 

with Federal agencies that serve on the 

Special 301 Subcommittee of the Trade 

Policy Staff Committee. 

The United States encourages owners 

and operators of markets reportedly 

involved in piracy or counterfeiting to 

adopt business models that rely on the 

licensed distribution of legitimate 

content and products and to work with 

right holders and enforcement officials 

to address infringement. USTR also 

encourages foreign government 

authorities to intensify their efforts to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 165 / Monday, August 30, 2021 / Notices 48465 

investigate reports of piracy and 

counterfeiting in such markets, and to 

pursue appropriate enforcement actions. 

The Notorious Markets List does not 

purport to reflect findings of legal 

violations, nor does it reflect the U.S. 

Government’s analysis of the general IP 

protection and enforcement climate in 

the country or countries concerned. For 

an analysis of the IP climate in 

particular countries, please refer to the 

annual Special 301 Report, published 

each spring no later than 30 days after 

USTR submits the National Trade 

Estimate to Congress. 

II. Public Comments 

USTR invites written comments 

concerning examples of online and 

physical markets that reportedly engage 

in and facilitate substantial copyright 

piracy or trademark counterfeiting that 

infringe on U.S. intellectual property. 

USTR also invites written comments for 

the Notorious Markets List ‘issue focus’ 

that highlights an issue related to the 

facilitation of substantial trademark 

counterfeiting or copyright piracy. The 

issue focus for the 2021 Notorious 

Markets List will examine the adverse 

impact of counterfeiting on workers 

involved with the manufacture of 

counterfeit goods. Some governmental 

and intergovernmental organization 

reports suggest that counterfeit goods 

often may be produced in unsafe 

workplaces with substandard and 

unsafe materials, by workers who often 

may be paid little or sometimes nothing 

in the case of forced labor. USTR invites 

the submission of research, studies, 

reports, evidence, and business or 

personal experience on this topic. 

To facilitate the review, written 

comments should be as detailed as 

possible. Comments must clearly 

identify the market and the reasons why 

the commenter believes that the market 

should be included in the Notorious 

Markets List. Commenters should 

include the following information, as 

applicable: 

For physical markets: 

• The market’s name and location, 

e.g., common name, street address, 

neighborhood, shopping district, city, 

etc., and the identity of the principal 

owners/operators. 

For online markets: 

• The domain name(s) past and 

present, available registration 

information, and name(s) and 

location(s) of the hosting provider(s) 

and operator(s). 

• Information on the volume of 

internet traffic associated with the 

website, including number of visitors 

and page views, average time spent on 

the site, estimate of the number of 

infringing goods offered, sold, or traded 

and number of infringing files streamed, 

shared, seeded, leeched, downloaded, 

uploaded, or otherwise distributed or 

reproduced, and global or country 

popularity rating (e.g., Alexa rank). 

• Revenue sources such as sales, 

subscriptions, donations, upload 

incentives, or advertising and the 

methods by which that revenue is 

collected. 

For physical and online markets: 

• Whether the market is owned, 

operated, or otherwise affiliated with a 

government entity. 

• Types of counterfeit or pirated 

products or services sold, traded, 

distributed, or otherwise made available 

at that market. 

• Volume of counterfeit or pirated 

goods or services or other indicia of a 

market’s scale, reach, or relative 

significance in a given geographic area 

or with respect to a category of goods or 

services. 

• Estimates of economic harm to right 

holders resulting from the piracy or 

counterfeiting and a description of the 

methodology used to calculate the harm. 

• Whether the volume of counterfeit 

or pirated goods or estimates of harm 

has increased or decreased from 

previous years, and an approximate 

calculation of that increase or decrease 

for each year. 

• Whether the infringing goods or 

services sold, traded, distributed, or 

made available pose a risk to public 

health or safety. 

• Any known contractual, civil, 

administrative, or criminal enforcement 

activity against the market and the 

outcome of that enforcement activity. 

• Additional actions taken by right 

holders against the market such as 

takedown notices, requests to sites to 

remove URLs or infringing content, 

cease and desist letters, warning letters 

to landlords and requests to enforce the 

terms of their leases, requests to 

providers to enforce their terms of 

service or terms of use, and the outcome 

of these actions. 

• Additional actions taken by the 

market owners or operators to remove, 

limit, or discourage the availability of 

counterfeit or pirated goods or services, 

including policies to prevent or remove 

access to such goods or services, or to 

disable seller or user accounts, the 

effectiveness of market policies and 

guidelines in addressing counterfeiting 

and piracy, and the level of cooperation 

with right holders and law enforcement. 

• Any other additional information 

relevant to the review.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: High Density 

Traffic Airports; Slot Allocation and 

Transfer Methods. 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. The Federal Register Notice 

with a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments on the following collection of 

information was published on March 

16, 2021. The FAA collects information 

from U.S. and foreign air carriers 

holding or requesting a slot at Ronald 

Reagan Washington National Airport 

(DCA), John F. Kennedy International 

Airport (JFK), and LaGuardia Airport 

(LGA); operating or requesting 

scheduled flights at Newark Liberty 

International Airport (EWR), Los 

Angeles International Airport (LAX), 

O’Hare International Airport (ORD), and 

San Francisco International Airport 

(SFO); and conducting unscheduled 

operations at DCA and LGA. The 

information collected is necessary to 

support the advance management of air 

traffic demand by the FAA Slot 

Administration in an effort to reduce 

potential delays. The FAA proposes 

renaming this information collection to 

‘‘FAA Runway Slot Administration and 

Schedule Analysis’’ to more accurately 

reflect the collection of information 

related to multiple airports subject to 

different FAA regulatory and voluntary 

processes under this program. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by September 29, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0524. 

Title: High Density Traffic Airports; 

Slot Allocation and Transfer Methods. 

Form Numbers: There are no FAA 

forms associated with this collection. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on March 16, 2021 (86 FR 14515). The 

FAA has implemented several 

initiatives to address air traffic 

congestion and delay at certain airports 

within the National Airspace System 

(NAS). DCA slot rules are established 

under 14 CFR part 93, subparts K and 

S. The FAA has issued Orders limiting 

operations at JFK and LGA.1 These 

Orders resulted from increasing 

congestion and delays at the airports 

requiring the FAA to allocate arrival and 

departure slots at JFK and LGA. In 

addition, the FAA has designated EWR, 

LAX, ORD, and SFO as Level 2 

schedule-facilitated airports under the 

IATA Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG) 

now known as the Worldwide Airport 

Slot Guidelines (WASG).2 At Level 2 

airports, the FAA seeks the cooperation 

of all carriers planning operations, on a 

voluntary basis, to maintain close 

communications on runway schedules 

and facilitate adjustments, as needed. 

At DCA, U.S. and foreign air carriers, 

including commuter operators, must 

notify the FAA of: (1) Written consent 

and requests for confirmation of slot 

transfers; (2) slots required to be 

returned and slots voluntarily returned; 

(3) requests to be included in a lottery 

for the permanent allocation of available 

slots; (4) reports on usage of slots on a 

bi-monthly basis; and (5) requests for 

slots in low-demand hours or other 

temporary allocations. Operators must 

obtain a reservation from the FAA prior 

to conducting an unscheduled 

operation. At LGA, U.S. and foreign air 

carriers must notify the FAA of: (1) 

Written consent and requests for 

confirmation of slot transfers; (2) slots 

required to be returned and slots 

voluntarily returned; (3) requests to be 

included in a lottery for the permanent 

allocation of available slots; and (4) 

reports usage of slots on a bi-monthly 

basis. Carriers must also request and 

obtain a reservation from the FAA prior 

to conducting an unscheduled 

operation. At JFK, U.S. and foreign air 

carriers must notify the FAA of: (1) 

Written consent and requests for 

confirmation of slot transfers; (2) 

requests for seasonal allocation of 

historic and additional available slots; 

(3) reports on usage of slots on a 

seasonal basis; (4) the return of slots; 

and (5) changes to allocated slots. At 

EWR, LAX, ORD, and SFO, all carriers 

are asked to notify the FAA of their 

intended operating schedules during
