SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Devon 

Energy Corporation (Devon) is the 

primary applicant and has proposed 

drilling and developing up to 1,250 

conventional natural gas and coal bed 

natural gas wells from up to 1000 well 

pad locations. Associated project 

facilities would include roads, well 

pads, gas and water collection pipelines, 

compressor stations, water disposal 

systems, and a power supply system. 

During the preparation of the EIS, any 

interim development on public lands 

will require a detailed environmental 

review by the BLM. Such a review will 

determine what, if any, development 

could and/or would be authorized based 

on the analysis of the environmental 

impacts without having an adverse 

environmental impact and/or potential 

to limit selection within the range of 

reasonable alternatives for this proposed 

Creston/Blue Gap II Project and/or the 

range of reasonable within alternatives 

pending Rawlins RMP revision/EIS. 

The Creston Blue/Gap II Natural Gas 

Project is located in Townships 14, 15, 

16, 17, 18, and 19 North, Ranges 91, 92, 

93, and 94 West, Sixth Principal 

Meridian, Carbon and Sweetwater 

Counties, Wyoming. The project area is 

located approximately 40 air miles 

southwest of Rawlins along the east and 

west sides of Wyoming State Highway 

789. The project area is approximately 

184,000 acres in size and involves a 

mixture of mostly Federal (71%) and 

private (26%) surface with some State 

land (3%). The BLM Rawlins Field 

Office manages the Federal surface 

lands and the Federal mineral estate. 

The purpose of the natural gas 

development is to extract and recover 

natural gas from the Creston/Blue Gap II 

area and to provide more natural gas for 

distribution to consumers. This project 

confirms with the goals and objectives 

of the President’s National Energy Plan, 

through proposing to increase domestic 

energy supplies and strengthen 

America’s energy security. The 

proposed action may add up to 200 

million cubic feet of natural gas per day 

into the market to help meet this 

growing national demand. 

The EIS will address cumulative 

impacts and will include consideration 

of the effects of the project. Potential 

issues to be addressed in the EIS 

include but are not limited to: surface 

and ground water resources, air quality, 

wildlife populations and their habitats, 

private and public land access concerns, 

road development and transportation, 

reclamation, noxious weeds livestock 

grazing, cultural and paleontological 

resources, threatened and endangered 

wildlife and plant species, and 

socioeconomic impacts. 

The project area is managed under the 

Great Divide Resource Management 

Plan (RMP) (1990). This RMP is 

currently being revised under the title of 

Rawlins Resource Management Plan. A 

Draft EIS for the Rawlins RMP was 

released in December 2004. A decision 

for the Creston/Blue Gap II Natural Gas 

Project (C/BG2 Project) will not be made 

nor implemented until after a Record of 

Decision is issued for the Rawlins RMP 

revision FEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on January 6, 2005, based on a 

complaint filed on behalf of BIAX 

Corporation (‘‘BIAX’’), of Boulder, 

Colorado (70 FR 1277). The complaint 

alleged violations of section 337 in the 

importation into the United States, sale 

for importation, and sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain digital processors, digital 

processing systems, components 

thereof, and products containing same 

by reason of infringement of certain 

claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,487,755 

(‘‘the ’755 patent’’); 5,021,954 (‘‘the ’954 

patent’’); 5,517,628; 6,253,313; and 

5,765,037. The notice of investigation 

named Texas Instruments, Inc. (‘‘TI’’), of 

Dallas, Texas; iBiquity Digital 

Corporation, of Columbia, Maryland; 

Kenwood Corporation, of Japan; and 

Kenwood U.S.A. Corporation, of Long 

Beach, California as respondents. 

On April 12, 2005, respondent TI filed 

a motion for summary determination of 

non-infringement of the asserted claims 

of the ’755 and ’945 patents. On May 20, 

2005, complainant BIAX filed its 

opposition to TI’s motion for summary 

determination. On May 23, 2005, the 

Commission’s investigative attorney 

filed an opposition to TI’s motion for 

summary determination. 

On July 12, 2005, the administrative 

law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an ID, Order 

No. 18, granting respondent TI’s motion 

for summary determination of noninfringement of the asserted claims of 

the ’755 and ’945 patents. On July 19, 

2005, complainant BIAX filed a petition 

for review of Order No. 18. 

On July 20, 2005, the parties filed a 

joint motion to extend the deadline for 

filing responses to BIAX’s petition for 

review of Order No. 18 until August 10, 

2005, and to extend the deadline for the 

Commission to determine whether to 

review Order No. 18 until August 30, 

2005. On July 22, 2005, the Chairman 

extended the deadline for filing 

responses to the BIAX’s petition for 

review of Order No. 18 until August 10, 

2005. 

On August 1, 2005, the Commission 

determined to extend the deadline for 

determining whether to review the 

Order No. 18, granting respondent TI’s 

motion for summary determination of 

non-infringement of the asserted claims 

of the ’755 and ’945 patents, by 30 days, 

i.e., until September 12, 2005. 

On August 3, 2004, complainant BIAX 

and respondents filed a joint motion to 

terminate the investigation based on a 

license agreement between BIAX and 

respondent TI. The Commission 

investigative attorney supported the 

joint motion. 

On August 8, 2005, the presiding ALJ 

issued the subject ID (Order No. 23) 

granting the joint motion to terminate 

the investigation based on a license 

agreement between BIAX and 

respondent TI. No party filed a petition 

to review the subject ID. The 

Commission has determined not to 

review ALJ Order No. 23.

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and § 210.42 of
