SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information requested by the 

questionnaire is for use by the 

Commission in connection with 

Investigation No. 332–588, Foreign 

Trade Zones (FTZs): Effects of FTZ 

Policies and Practices on U.S. Firms 

Operating in U.S. FTZs and Under 

Similar Programs in Canada and 

Mexico, instituted under the authority 

of section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 

1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)). This 

investigation and report were requested 

by the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) on December 14, 

2021. This investigation was initiated 

on January 26, 2022, and the notice of 

investigation was published in the 

Federal Register on January 31, 2022 

(87 FR 4914). The Commission will 

deliver its report to USTR by April 14, 

2023. 

As stated in the notice of 

investigation, USTR requested that the 

Commission’s report include detailed 

data and other information on firms 

operating in FTZs in the United States, 

and under similar programs in Canada, 

and Mexico. Such information is not 

available in the requested specificity 

from governmental and other public 

sources. The Commission indicated in 

its notice of investigation that it will 

need to obtain much of such data and 

information through a survey. The 

survey will assist the Commission in 

developing, as requested, an overview of 

economic activity and policies and 

practices in U.S. FTZs and under 

similar programs in Canada and Mexico, 

and the effects of those policies and 

practices on the cost competitiveness of 

products of firms operating in these 

programs. Similar programs in Canada 

include the Duties Relief Program, 

Drawback Program, Export Distribution 

Center Program, and Exporters of 

Processing Services Program. Similar 

programs in Mexico include Industria 

Manufacturera, Maquiladora y de 

Servicios de Exportacio ́n (IMMEX), 

Value Added Tax (VAT)/Special Tax on 

Production and Services (IEPS) 

Certification, Programa de Promocio ́n 

Sectorial (PROSEC), Rule 8 (Regla 8), 

and Operadores Econo ́micos 

Autorizados (OEA) (previously Nuevo 

Esquema de Empresas Certificadas 

(NEEC)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on August 17, 2020, based on a 

complaint filed on behalf of Ideal 

Industries Lighting LLC d/b/a Cree 

Lighting (‘‘Cree’’) of Durham, North 

Carolina. 85 FR 50047–48 (Aug. 17, 

2020). The complaint, as supplemented, 

alleged violations 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 light-emitting diode products, 

fixtures, and components thereof by 

reason of infringement of certain claims 

of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,403,531 (‘‘the ’531 

patent’’); 8,596,819 (‘‘the ’819 patent’’); 

8,777,449 (‘‘the ’449 patent’’); 9,261,270 

(‘‘the ’270 patent’’); and 9,476,570 (‘‘the 

’570 patent’’). The complaint further 

alleged the existence of a domestic 

industry. The Commission’s notice of 

investigation named RAB as the sole 

respondent. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations did not participate in the 

investigation. 

On October 25, 2021, the Commission 

determined to review in part a final ID 

on violation issued by the presiding 

Administrative Law Judge. 86 FR 

60071–72 (Oct. 29, 2021). The 

Commission determined not to review 

the final ID’s finding of a violation of 

section 337 with respect to the ’270 and 

’570 patents and finding of no violation 

with respect to the ’449 patent. 

On December 16, 2021, the 

Commission issued a final 

determination affirming the final ID’s 

finding of no violation as to the ’531 and 

’819 patents. 86 FR 72623–24 (Dec. 22, 

2021). As a remedy for the finding of a 

violation with respect to the ’270 and 

’570 patents, the Commission issued a 

limited exclusion order (‘‘LEO’’) 

directed against RAB’s infringing 

products and a cease and desist order 

(‘‘CDO’’) directed against RAB. Id. 

Cree and RAB each timely appealed 

the Commission’s final determination to

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 5, 2022 / Notices 39871 

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 

Federal Circuit. The separate appeals 

were subsequently consolidated. On 

March 28, 2022, the Cree and RAB 

jointly moved to voluntarily dismiss 

their appeal and cross-appeal. See Ideal 

Industries Lighting LLC v. ITC, Appeal 

Nos. 2022–1484, –1501, Joint 

Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal 

(Mar. 28, 2022). The Federal Circuit 

granted the motion and dismissed the 

appeals the following day. See Ideal 

Industries Lighting LLC v. ITC, Appeal 

Nos. 22–1484, –1501, Order (Fed. Cir. 

Mar. 29, 2022). 

On April 8, 2022, Cree and RAB 

jointly petitioned to rescind the 

previously-issued LEO and CDO based 

on settlement pursuant to section 337(k) 

(19 U.S.C. 1337(k)) and Commission 

Rule 210.76(a) (19 CFR 210.76(a)). On 

May 6, 2022, the Commission granted 

the parties’ petition and rescinded the 

remedial orders. 87 FR 29178–79 (May 

12, 2022). 

On April 13, 2022, RAB filed an 

unopposed motion seeking the return of 

bond paid by RAB under the CDO and 

LEO during the period of Presidential 

review to the Commission and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection, 

respectively. 

On May 18, 2022, the ALJ issued 

Order No. 28, the subject ID, granting 

the motion pursuant to Commission 

Rule 210.50(d)(3) (19 CFR 210.50(d)(3)). 

The ID finds that RAB satisfied the 

procedural requirements for the return 

of bond and that there is no reason to 

deny the motion. 

No party filed a petition for review of 

the subject ID. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on June 29, 

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. 

Issued: June 29, 2022.

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

PRAMain. Find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request supports 

the Temporary Final Rule, Exercise of 

Time-Limited Authority to Increase the 

Fiscal Year 2022 Numerical Limitation 

for the H–2B Temporary 

Nonagricultural Worker Program and 

Portability Flexibility for H–2B Workers 

Seeking to Change Employers, which 

was promulgated by the Department of 

Labor and the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS). The regulatory 

requirements were codified at 8 CFR 

part 214 and 20 CFR part 655 and the 

information collection activities covered 

under Attestation for Employers Seeking 

to Employ H–2B Nonimmigrant Workers 

under Section 105 of Division O of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, 

Public Law 116–260, and Public Laws 

117–43 and 117–70, Form ETA–9142–

along with other requirements (e.g., 

recruitment efforts; recordkeeping 

requirements), covered under Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Control 

Number 1205–0549. DOL seeks to revise 

OMB 1205–0549 to eliminate the 

requirement that employers complete 

and submit the Form ETA–9142–B– 

CAA–5 to DHS, but extend the 

recordkeeping requirements for an 

additional three years. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on January 28, 2022

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–ETA. 

Title of Collection: Attestation for 

Employers Seeking to Employ H–2B 

Nonimmigrant Workers.
