Section 1104 of Title 5 allows OPM to delegate personnel management functions to other Federal agencies, extending these capabilities to the NPS. To conform with regulations mandated by the OPM and the Department of the Interior (DOI), NPS requires all applicants for Federal employment and non-Federal personnel requiring access to NPS property and/or receive a DOIAccess PIV badge to be processed for a suitability background investigation, in accordance with Executive Order 10450 and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD–12). To collect information pursuant to this requirement, the NPS Personnel Security Branch uses the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (E–QIP) System.

The information collected is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act, and maintained in a secure system of records (InteriorDOI–45, ‘‘Personnel Security Files— Interior’’, 47 FR 11036). The NPS uses Form 10–152, ‘‘Background Clearance Initiation Request’’ to create E–QIP accounts necessary to initiate background investigations for all individuals requiring access to NPS property and/or to receive a DOIAccess PIV badge. The OPM and DOI programs initiating background investigations have published System of Records Notices in the Federal Register describing the systems in which the records will be maintained. The information collected by NPS Form 10–152 includes detailed information for each proposed candidate requiring a background clearance, to include: • Full legal name; VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Oct 03, 2019 Jkt 250001 • Social Security Number; • Date and place of birth; • Country of citizenship; • Contact phone number; • Email address; • Home address; • Whether proposed candidate has ever been investigated by another Federal agency; and • If the candidate was investigated by another Federal agency, they must provide the name of that agency and the date of the investigation.

Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information on this matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission’s TDD terminal on (202) 205–1810. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on May 1, 2018, based on a complaint, as amended, filed by Bracco Diagnostics Inc. of Monroe Township, New Jersey (‘‘Complainant’’ or ‘‘Bracco’’). See 83 FR 19112–13 (May 1, 2018). The complaint, as amended, alleges 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 strontium-rubidium radioisotope infusion systems, and components thereof including generators, by reason of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,814,826; 9,750,869; and 9,750,870 (collectively, ‘‘the asserted patents’’). See id. The notice of investigation names Jubilant DraxImage Inc. of Kirkland, Que´bec, Canada; Jubilant Pharma Limited of Singapore; and Jubilant Life Sciences of Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India (collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’ or ‘‘Jubilant’’) as respondents in this investigation. See id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is also a party to this investigation. See id. On February 8, 2019, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 27) finding by summary determination that Jubilant’s RUBY Rubidium Elution System Version 3.0 directly infringes the asserted patents. See Order No. 27 (Feb. PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 53177 8, 2019), unreviewed, Comm’n Notice (Mar. 8, 2019). In addition, the ALJ determined that Jubilant’s RUBY Rubidium Elution System Version 3.1 and the RUBY Rubidium Elution System Version 4 do not directly infringe the asserted patents. See id. The ID (Order No. 27) declined to reach indirect infringement on summary determination. See id. The ALJ conducted an evidentiary hearing on February 11–12 and 15–17, 2019, and on August 1, 2019, issued the FID finding no violation of section 337. Specifically, the FID finds that the domestic industry requirement is satisfied and that all the asserted claims are infringed but invalid as obvious over the prior art. In addition, the ALJ issued a Recommended Determination (‘‘RD’’) recommending, should the Commission find a section 337 violation, that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order (‘‘LEO’’) barring entry of articles that infringe the asserted claims. The RD does not recommend that the Commission issue a cease and desist order or impose a bond during the period of Presidential review. Furthermore, as directed by the Commission, the RD provides findings with respect to the public interest and recommends a determination that the public interest factors do not preclude entry of the proposed LEO. On August 14, 2019, both Bracco and the Commission’s Investigative Attorney (‘‘IA’’) filed petitions for review of the FID. Bracco petitions for review of the FID’s findings with respect to invalidity, while the IA petitions for review of the FID’s findings with respect to domestic industry. On August 22, 2019, the parties filed responses to the respective petitions. The Commission has determined to review the FID in part. Specifically, the Commission has determined to review the FID’s findings with respect to invalidity and domestic industry. The Commission has determined not to review the remainder of the FID. At this time, the Commission does not request any briefing from the parties. 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).
