SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on June 14, 2016, based on a complaint 

filed by complainants Ajinomoto Co., 

Inc. of Tokyo, Japan and Ajinomoto 

Heartland Inc. of Chicago, Illinois 

(collectively, ‘‘Ajinomoto’’). See 81 FR 

38735–36 (June 14, 2016). The 

complaint, as supplemented, alleged 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

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

1337) (‘‘section 337’’), based upon the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain L-tryptophan, L-tryptophan 

products, and their methods of 

production by reason of infringement of 

certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 

7,666,655 (‘‘the ’655 patent’’) and U.S. 

Patent No. 6,180,373 (‘‘the ’373 patent’’). 

See id. The notice of investigation 

named CJ CheilJedang Corp. of Seoul, 

Republic of Korea, CJ America, Inc. of 

Downers Grove, Illinois, and PT 

CheilJedang Indonesia of Jakarta, 

Indonesia (collectively, ‘‘CJ’’) as 

respondents in this investigation. See 

id. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations was not a party to the 

investigation. 

On December 18, 2017, the 

Commission issued a final 

determination finding a violation of 

section 337 with respect to certain 

tryptophan-producing bacteria strains 

(‘‘the later strains’’), but no violation of 

section 337 with respect to other strains 

(‘‘the earlier strains’’). The Commission 

issued the remedial orders, i.e., an LEO 

against the infringing articles and a CDO 

against CJ America. 

On February 16, 2018, Ajinomoto 

filed an appeal with the United States 

Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 

(‘‘Federal Circuit’’) from the 

Commission’s final determination 

finding no violation of section 337 with 

respect to the earlier strains. On 

February 27, 2018, CJ also filed an 

appeal with the Federal Circuit from the 

Commission’s final determination 

finding a violation of section 337 with 

respect to the later strains. 

On May 25, 2018, CJ filed a motion for 

partial dismissal of the appeal with 

respect to the ’373 patent based on 

expiration of that patent. On June 27, 

2018, the Federal Circuit issued an 

order dismissing the appeal with respect 

to the ’373 patent. On August 6, 2019, 

the Federal Circuit affirmed the 

Commission’s final determination with 

respect to the remaining ’655 patent. 

On June 3, 2022, Ajinomoto and CJ 

filed a joint petition to rescind the 

remedial orders based on settlement. 

The petition includes a confidential and 

public version of the settlement 

agreement and indicates that there are 

no other agreements, written or oral, 

express or implied between the parties 

concerning the subject matter of the 

investigation. No response to the 

petition was filed. 

Having reviewed the petition and the 

settlement agreement between 

Ajinomoto and CJ provided therewith, 

the Commission finds that the 

conditions which led to the issuance of 

the remedial orders no longer exist, and 

therefore, granting the joint petition to 

rescind is warranted under section 

337(k) (19 U.S.C. 1337(k)). The 

Commission also finds that the 

requirements of Commission Rule 

210.76(a) (19 CFR 210.76(a)) are 

satisfied. Accordingly, the Commission 

has determined to institute a rescission 

proceeding and to grant the joint 

petition to rescind the remedial orders. 

The rescission proceeding is terminated. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on July 5, 

2022. 

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 part 

210 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 

210). 

By order of the Commission.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Application for SelfInsurance Under the Black Lung 

Benefits Act 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL) is submitting this Office of 

Workers’ Compensation Programs 

(OWCP)-sponsored information 

collection request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are 

invited. 

DATES: The OMB will consider all 

written comments that the agency 

receives on or before August 10, 2022. 

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. 

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden and 

cost of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nicole Bouchet by telephone at 202–

PUBLIC@dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection is essential to the 

mission of OWCP’s Division of Coal 

Mine Workers’ Compensation, which 

administers the Black Lung Benefits Act 

(BLBA). The statute grants the 

Department authority to authorize and 

regulate coal mine operators who wish 

to self-insure their BLBA liabilities. This 

information collection would provide 

OWCP with sufficient information to 

determine whether a coal mine operator 

should be (or continue to be) authorized 

to self-insure. The information would 

also allow OWCP to determine the 

security amount a coal mine operator 

must deposit to guarantee that it will be 

able to meet its BLBA liabilities. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 2, 2022 (87 FR 11738). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. 

Agency: DOL–OWCP. 

Title of Collection: Application for 

Self-Insurance Under the Black Lung 

Benefits Act. 

OMB Control Number: 1240–0057. 

Affected Public: Private Sector— 

Businesses or other for-profits. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 49. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Responses: 294. 

Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 

261 hours. 

Total Estimated Annual Other Costs 

Burden: $34,080.
