Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC 

Pub. No. 2843 (December 1994) 

(Commission Opinion). 

If the Commission contemplates some 

form of remedy, it must consider the 

effects of that remedy upon the public 

interest. The factors the Commission 

will consider include the effect that an 

exclusion order and/or cease and desist 

orders would have on (1) the public 

health and welfare, (2) competitive 

conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. 

production of articles that are like or 

directly competitive with those that are 

subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. 

consumers. The Commission is 

therefore interested in receiving written 

submissions that address the 

aforementioned public interest factors 

in the context of this investigation. 

If the Commission orders some form 

of remedy, the U.S. Trade 

Representative, as delegated by the 

President, has 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the Commission’s action. 

See Presidential Memorandum of July 

21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). 

During this period, the subject articles 

would be entitled to enter the United 

States under bond, in an amount 

determined by the Commission. The 

Commission is therefore interested in 

receiving submissions concerning the 

amount of the bond that should be 

imposed if a remedy is ordered. 

Written Submissions: The parties to 

the investigation are requested to file 

written submissions on the issues 

identified in this notice. Parties to the 

investigation, interested government 

agencies, and any other interested 

parties are encouraged to file written 

submissions on the issues of remedy, 

the public interest, and bonding. Such 

submissions should address the 

recommended determination by the ALJ 

on remedy and bonding with respect to 

the asserted patent. Complainant and 

OUII are also requested to submit 

proposed remedial orders for the 

Commission’s consideration. 

Complainant is further requested to 

state the date that the patent expires and 

the HTSUS numbers under which the 

accused products are imported, and 

provide identification information for 

all known importers of the subject 

articles. A party’s written submission on 

the issues of remedy, the public interest, 

and bonding do not count towards its 

60-page limit. The written submissions 

and proposed remedial orders must be 

filed no later than close of business on 

Friday, December 12, 2014. Reply 

submissions must be filed no later than 

the close of business on Friday, 

December 19, 2014. No further 

submissions on these issues will be 

permitted unless otherwise ordered by 

the Commission. 

Persons filing written submissions 

must file the original document 

electronically on or before the deadlines 

stated above and submit eight (8) true 

paper copies to the Office of the 

Secretary by noon the next day pursuant 

to section 210.4(f) of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.4(f)). Submissions should refer to 

the investigation number (‘‘Inv. No. 

337–TA–895’’) in a prominent place on 

the cover page and/or the first page. (See 

Handbook for Electronic Filing 

Procedures, http://www.usitc.gov/

secretary/fed_reg_notices/rules/

handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf). 

Persons with questions regarding filing 

should contact the Secretary (202–205– 

2000). 

Any person desiring to submit a 

document to the Commission in 

confidence must request confidential 

treatment. All such requests should be 

directed to the Secretary to the 

Commission and must include a full 

statement of the reasons why the 

Commission should grant such 

treatment. See 19 CFR 201.6. Documents 

for which confidential treatment by the 

Commission is properly sought will be 

treated accordingly. A redacted nonconfidential version of the document 

must also be filed simultaneously with 

the any confidential filing. All nonconfidential written submissions will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Secretary and on EDIS. 

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). 

Issued: December 2, 2014. 

By order of the Commission.

RIN 1250–AA07 

Prohibiting Discrimination Based on 

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity 

by Contractors and Subcontractors 

AGENCY: Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As a part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burdens, the Department of 

Labor (DOL) conducts a pre-clearance 

consultation program to provide the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

collections of information in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3505(c)(2)(A). 

The program helps to ensure that 

requested data can be provided in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of the 

collection requirements on respondents 

can be properly assessed. 

The Department notes that a Federal 

agency cannot conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it is 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under the PRA, and 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number, and the public is not required 

to respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

number. Notwithstanding any other 

provisions of law, no person shall be 

subject to penalty for failing to comply 

with a collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number. See 5 CFR 1230.5(a) and 

1320.6. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted by February 6, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Control Number 1250– 

0NEW, by either one of the following 

methods: 

Electronic comments: Through the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Mail, Hand Delivery, Courier: Address 

comments to Debra Carr, Director,

Development, Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs, 200 Constitution 

Avenue NW., Room C3325, Washington, 

DC 20210. Telephone: (202) 693–0103 

(voice) or (202) 693–1337 (TTY). 

Instructions: Please submit one copy 

of your comments by only one method. 

All submissions received must include 

the agency name and OMB control 

number identified above for this 

information collection. Because we 

continue to experience delays in 

receiving mail in the Washington, DC 

area, commenters are strongly 

encouraged to either transmit their 

comments electronically via the 

regulations.gov Web site or mail their 

comments early to ensure that they are 

timely received. Comments, including 

any personal information provided, 

become a matter of public record and 

will be posted to the regulations.gov 

Web site. They will also be summarized 

and/or included in the request for Office 

of Management and Budget approval of 

the information collection request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: On July 21, 2014 

President Obama issued Executive 

Order 13672, titled ‘‘Further 

Amendments to Executive Order 11478, 

Equal Employment Opportunity in the 

Federal Government and Executive 

Order 11246, Equal Employment 

Opportunity.’’ Executive Order 13672 

amends Executive Order 11246 and 

directs DOL to prepare regulations to 

implement its requirements. Concurrent 

with this Notice, DOL is publishing a 

final rule implementing Executive Order 

13672, which amended the existing 

regulations implementing Executive 

Order 11246 by substituting ‘‘sex, sexual 

orientation, gender identity, or national 

origin’’ for ‘‘sex or national origin’’ 

wherever the list of bases upon which 

Federal contractors are prohibited from 

discriminating against job applicants 

and employees appeared.1 Among other 

things, these regulations set forth 

information disclosure and reporting 

requirements for covered Federal 

contractors, subcontractors, and 

federally assisted construction 

contractors and subcontractors. 

Information collection requirements 

addressed in this rule include modified 

language in the equal opportunity 

clause that contractors 2 must use in 

covered subcontracts and purchase 

orders; modified language that 

contractors must use in job 

advertisements and employment 

solicitations; and a modification to the 

requirement that a contractor report to 

the Department of State and OFCCP 

when their employees or prospective 

employees are denied a visa or entry to 

a country in which or with which it is 

doing business, and it believes the 

denial is due to a basis covered by 

Executive Order 11246, as amended by 

Executive Order 13672. 

Current Action: Pursuant to the PRA 

implementing regulations at 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1), this notice requests 

comments on the information collection 

request discussed above in the 

Background section of this notice. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the individual 

identified in the ADDRESSES section 

above. In addition to having a 60-day 

opportunity to file comments with the 

Department, written comments under 

the PRA about the information 

collection requirements may be 

addressed to the OMB. Comments to the 

OMB should be directed to: Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attention OMB Desk Officer for the 

DOL–OS, Office of Management and 

Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC
