models infringe claims 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9
of the ‘130 patent.
The Commission has determined to
affirm the remainder of the ALJ’s
findings. Specifically, the Commission
affirms the ALJ’s finding that the
accused side-by-side model refrigerators
do not infringe claim 8 of the ‘130
patent. The Commission also affirms the
ALJ’s finding that the accused French
Door model refrigerators do not infringe
any of the asserted claims of the ‘130
patent. The Commission further affirms
the ALJ’s finding that claims 1, 2 4, 6,
and 9 of the ‘130 patent are invalid for
obviousness with several modifications
to the analysis concerning claims 1 and
2. The Commission also affirms the
ALJ’s finding that claim 8 is not invalid
for obviousness. Finally, the
Commission affirms the ALJ’s finding
that there is a domestic industry.
The target date of the investigation
was February 9, 2010. Due to inclement
weather, the Federal government was
closed from Monday, February 8
through Thursday, February 11, 2010.
The target date is, therefore, extended to
Friday, February 12, 2010, pursuant to
Commission Rule 210.51(a) (19 CFR
210.51(a)).
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
sections 210.42–46 of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
210.42–46).
Issued: February 12, 2010.
By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.

Jkt 220001

Environmental Impact Statement (Final
EIS) for flood control improvements to
the Presidio Flood Control Project,
Presidio, Texas (Presidio FCP). The EIS
analyzed potential impacts of the No
Action Alternative and six action
alternatives under consideration. Sitespecific information was used to
evaluate environmental consequences
that may result from implementing
improvements in the upper, middle and
lower reaches of the Presidio FCP. The
following environmental resources were
assessed in the Final EIS: Biological
resources, cultural resources, water
resources, land use, socioeconomic
resources and transportation,
environmental health issues (air quality,
noise, public health, and environmental
hazards), and cumulative impacts.
DATES: The Draft EIS was available for
a 45-day review period, November 20,
2009 to January 12, 2010. Written
comments were incorporated into the
Final EIS. The USIBWC will announce
its decision regarding future actions
within the Presidio FCP in a Record of
Decision to be published in the Federal
Register no sooner than 30 days after
the Environmental Protection Agency
publishes a Notice of Availability for the
Final Environmental Impact Statement,
Flood Control Improvements and Partial
Levee Relocation, USIBWC Presidio
Flood Control Project, Presidio, Texas. A
copy of the Final EIS will be available
for review at the City of Presidio
Library, 2440 O’Reilly Street, Presidio,
Texas 79845, and will also be posted at
the USIBWC Web site at http://
www.ibwc.gov.

Daniel Borunda, Acting Division Chief,
Environmental Management Division,
USIBWC, 4171 North Mesa Street, C–

[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS analyzed potential effects of the No
Action Alternative and six action
alternatives for flood control
improvement alternatives for the
Presidio FCP. The following six action
alternatives were taken into
consideration: (1) Retaining the current
levee alignment, repairing structural
levee damages and raising some levee
segments as required to ensure full
protection from a 25-year flood event;
(2) 100-year flood protection of the City
of Presidio and agricultural lands along
the Presidio FCP by raising the levee
system along its entire length and
current alignment; (3) raising the entire
levee system for 100-year flood
protection, retaining current levee
alignment in the upper and middle
reaches of the Presidio FCP but partially

relocating approximately 3.4 miles of
the levee in the lower reach; (4) 100year flood protection of the City of
Presidio by raising the levee system in
the upper and middle reaches of the
Presidio FCP, in conjunction with a new
1.3-mile spur levee starting at mile 9.2
to connect the raised levee section to
elevated terrain south of the City of
Presidio; a 25-year flood protection
would be retained in the lower reach
along agricultural lands; (5) 100-year
flood protection of the City of Presidio
by raising in place the levee system
along the upper and middle reaches of
the Presidio FCP, constructing a new
1.4-mile spur levee at mile 8.5, and
retaining the 25-year flood protection in
the lower reach; and (6) raising the levee
along the upstream sections of the levee
system to provide 100-year flood
protection to the City of Presidio and
retaining the 25-year flood protection of
agricultural lands in the lower reach, as
in the two previous alternatives, and
constructing a new 2.9-mile long spur
levee in the middle reach, starting at
levee mile 7.3, along a railroad track.
Preferred Alternative: The USIBWC
has identified Alternative 2, raise the
levee in-place to provide 25-year flood
protection to the City of Presidio and
the adjacent agricultural areas as the
preferred alternative for
implementation. This has also been
identified as the environmentally
preferred alternative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

VerDate Nov<24>2008

18:05 Feb 18, 2010

Jkt 220001

I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and cost) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
the 1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657).
OSHA conducts peer reviews to
review a draft product for quality by
specialists in the field who were not
involved in producing the draft. The
selection of participants in a peer
review is based on expertise, with due
consideration of independence. The
Office of Management and Budget
published the Final Information Quality
Bulletin for Peer Review on December
15, 2004. The Bulletin states ‘‘* * * the
agency must address reviewers’
potential conflicts of interest (including
those stemming from ties to regulated
businesses and other stakeholders) and
independence from the agency.’’ The
Bulletin requires agencies to adopt or
adapt the committee selection policies
employed by the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS) when selecting peer
reviewers who are not Government
employees. To fulfill this requirement,
OSHA has developed a Conflict of
Interest (COI) and Disclosure Form,
based on NAS’ Conflict of Interest
Disclosure form. This form will be used
to determine whether or not a conflict
exists for a potential peer review panel
member.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirement,

PO 00000

Frm 00086

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

7523

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA proposes to extend OMB’s
approval of the COI form; thus, retaining
OSHA’s current burden hour estimate of
27 hours. The Agency will summarize
the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this
summary in its request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: OSHA’s Conflict of Interest
(COI) and Disclosure Form.
OMB Number: 1218–0255.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Number of Respondents: 36.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: One half
hour (.5 hour) for respondents to
complete Tier 1 for ‘‘influential
scientific assessments;’’ and 1 hour for
respondents to complete both Tier 1 and
Tier 2 for ‘‘highly influential scientific
assessments.’’
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 27.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
