48726 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 201 / Thursday, October 19, 2017 / Notices 

The parties are requested to brief their 

positions on only the following issues, 

with reference to the applicable law and 

the evidentiary record: 

1. The ID determined with respect to 

the ’230 patent that ‘‘the claim term 

‘maximum operating velocity’ should be 

construed to mean ‘a variable maximum 

velocity where adequate acceleration 

potential is available to enable balance 

and control of the vehicle.’ ’’ ID at 44. 

a. Does intrinsic evidence support the 

ID’s above determination? 

b. Does extrinsic evidence support the 

ID’s above determination? 

2. The ID determined with respect to 

the ‘230 patent that ‘‘nothing in the 

plain language of the disputed 

limitation [‘the motorized drive 

arrangement causing, when powered, 

automatically balanced operation of the 

system’] from claim 1 of the ‘230 patent 

requires the operation by a rider. The 

claim only requires the ‘motorized drive 

arrangement causing, when powered, 

automatically balanced operation of the 

system.’ ’’ ID at 82. 

a. Does intrinsic evidence support the 

ID’s above determination? 

b. Does extrinsic evidence support the 

ID’s above determination? 

In connection with the final 

disposition of this investigation, the 

Commission may (1) issue an order that 

could result in the exclusion of the 

subject articles from entry into the 

United States, and/or (2) issue one or 

more cease and desist orders that could 

result in the respondents being required 

to cease and desist from engaging in 

unfair acts in the importation and sale 

of such articles. Accordingly, the 

Commission is interested in receiving 

written submissions that address the 

form of remedy, if any, that should be 

ordered, including against the defaulted 

respondents. If a party seeks exclusion 

of an article from entry into the United 

States for purposes other than entry for 

consumption, the party should so 

indicate and provide information 

establishing that activities involving 

other types of entry either are adversely 

affecting it or are likely to do so. For 

background, see Certain Devices for 

Connecting Computers via Telephone 

Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360, USITC 

Pub. No. 2843, Comm’n Op. at 7–10 

(Dec. 1994). 

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 and 

prescribed by the Secretary of the 

Treasury. 

Written Submissions: The parties to 

the investigation are requested to file 

written submissions on the issues under 

review. The submissions should be 

concise and thoroughly referenced to 

the record in this investigation. 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 on remedy, the public 

interest and bonding issued on August 

22, 2017, by the ALJ and the appropriate 

remedy for the respondents previously 

found in default. Complainants and the 

Commission investigative attorney are 

also requested to submit proposed 

remedial orders for the Commission’s 

consideration. 

Complainants are further requested to 

provide the expiration date of the ‘230 

patent, the HTSUS numbers under 

which the accused articles are imported, 

and any known importers of the accused 

products. The written submissions and 

proposed remedial orders must be filed 

no later than the close of business on 

October 30, 2017. Reply submissions 

must be filed no later than the close of 

business on November 6, 2017. 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 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–1007,’ ‘Investigation No. 337– 

TA–1021’ (Consolidated))’’ 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_

electronicfiling.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. All information, 

including confidential business 

information and documents for which 

confidential treatment is properly 

sought, submitted to the Commission for 

purposes of this Investigation may be 

disclosed to and used: (i) By the 

Commission, its employees and Offices, 

and contract personnel (a) for 

developing or maintaining the records 

of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in 

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 5 

U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 

government employees and contract 

personnel, solely for cybersecurity 

purposes. All contract personnel will 

sign appropriate nondisclosure 

agreements. All non-confidential 

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

II. Background 

In 2007, following developments in 

the national program for Low-Level 

Radioactive Waste disposal (LLRW), as 

well as changes in the regulatory 

environment, the NRC conducted a 

Strategic Assessment of the NRC’s 

regulatory program for LLRW. The 

results of this assessment were 

published in late 2007 in SECY–07– 

0180, ‘‘Strategic Assessment of LowLevel Radioactive Waste Regulatory 

Program’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML071350299). The goal of the 2007 

assessment was to identify and 

prioritize staff activities that: (1) Ensure 

safe and secure LLRW disposal; (2) 

improve the effectiveness, efficiency, 

and adaptability of the NRC’s LLRW 

regulatory program; and (3) ensure 

regulatory stability and predictability,
