SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The purpose of this information
collection is to assist the NPS in
managing the Commercial Use
Authorization Program. Conducting
commercial operations in a unit of the
National Park System without a
contract, permit, commercial use
authorization, or some other written
agreement is prohibited. Section 418,
Public Law 105–391 (54 U.S.C. 101925)
gives the Secretary of the Interior the
authority to authorize a private person,
corporation, or other entity to provide
services to visitors in units of the
National Park System through a
Commercial Use Authorization (CUA).
Such authorizations are not considered
concession contracts. We authorize
commercial operations that originate
and operate entirely within a park (inpark); commercial operations that
provide services originating and
terminating outside of the park
boundaries; organized children’s camps,
outdoor clubs, and nonprofit
institutions; and other uses as the

E:\FR\FM\11JAN1.SGM

11JAN1

1203

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2016 / Notices
Secretary determines appropriate. The
commercial operations include a range
of services, such as mountain climbing
guides, boat repair services,
transportation services and tours, canoe
livery operations, hunting guides, retail
sales, equipment rentals, catering
services, and dozens of other visitor
services.
Section 418 limits CUAs to:
• Commercial operations with annual
gross receipts of not more than $25,000
resulting from services originating and
provided solely within a unit of the
National Park System;
• Incidental use of resources of the
unit by commercial operations which
provide services originating and
terminating outside of the boundaries of
the unit; or
• Uses by organized children’s
camps, outdoor clubs and nonprofit
institutions (including back country
use) and such other uses as the
Secretary determines appropriate.
The legislative mandate of the NPS,
found at 54 U.S.C. 1100101, is to
preserve America’s natural wonders
unimpaired for future generations,
while also making them available for the
enjoyment of visitors. Meeting this
mandate requires the NPS to balance
preservation with use. Maintaining a
good balance requires both information
and limits. The information requested

will allow the unit manager to evaluate
requests for a commercial use to
determine impact on the resources and
the appropriateness of the activity.
We collect information on the CUA
Application (Form 10–550), the CUA
Annual Report (Form 10–660), and CUA
Monthly Report (Form 10–660A). We
use the information from these forms to:
• Manage the program and
operations.
• Determine the qualifications and
abilities of the commercial operators to
provide a high quality, safe, and
enjoyable experience for park visitors.
• Determine the impact on the parks
natural and cultural resources.
• Manage the use and impact of
multiple operators.
The information requested will allow
the NPS to evaluate requests for a
commercial use authorization and
determine the suitability of the
applicants to safely and effectively
provide an appropriate service to the
visiting public. It will also enable the
NPS to manage the activity in a manner
that protects the natural and cultural
resources and the park visitor.
Management includes, but is not limited
to, managing the number of permits
issued, determining the location and
time that the activity occurs, and
requiring the appropriate visitor

enforcement proceeding on April 8,
2015, in view of the Federal Circuit’s
decision in uPI Semiconductor Corp. v.
ITC and Richtek Technology Corp. v.
ITC, 767 F.3d 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2014). See
Comm’n Order (Apr. 8, 2015). The
Commission instituted the original
enforcement proceeding on September
6, 2011, based on an enforcement
complaint filed by Richtek Technology
Corp. of Hsinchu, Taiwan, and Richtek
USA, Inc. of San Jose, California
(collectively ‘‘Richtek’’). 76 FR 55109–
10. The complaint alleged violations of
the August 13, 2010, consent orders
issued in the underlying investigation
by the continued practice of prohibited
activities such as importing, offering for
sale, and selling for importation into the
United States DC–DC controllers or
products containing the same that
infringe one or more of U.S. Patent Nos.
7,315,190 (‘‘the ’190 patent’’); 6,414,470
(‘‘the ’s ’470 patent’’); and 7,132,717
(‘‘the ’717 patent’’); or that contain or
use Richtek’s asserted trade secrets. The
Commission’s notice of institution of
enforcement proceedings named uPI
and Sapphire Technology Limited
(‘‘Sapphire’’) of Shatin, Hong Kong as
respondents. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations participated in the
enforcement proceeding. Sapphire was
later terminated from the enforcement
proceeding based on a settlement
agreement.
On June 8, 2012, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
his enforcement initial determination
(‘‘EID’’) finding a violation of the
Consent Order by uPI. The ALJ found
importation and sale of accused
products that infringe all asserted
claims of the patents at issue, and
importation and sale of formerly
accused products that contain or use
Richtek’s asserted trade secrets. He
found that uPI’s products developed
after the consent order issued (‘‘postConsent Order products’’) did not
misappropriate Richtek’s asserted trade
secrets. Also, he recommended
enforcement measures for uPI’s
violation that included the following:
(1) Modifying the Consent Order to
clarify that the Order applies (and has
always applied) to all uPI affiliates, past,
present, or future; and (2) imposing a
civil penalty of $750,000 against uPI.
The Commission did not review the
EID with respect to the trade secret
allegations, but did review the EID as to
certain patent infringement allegations
and the number of violation days. On
November 14, 2012, after review, the
Commission determined to affirm-inpart, reverse-in-part, modify-in-part, and
vacate-in-part the EID’s findings under
review. The Commission affirmed the

PO 00000

Frm 00042

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

ALJ’s finding that uPI violated the
consent order, and imposed a civil
penalty of $620,000 on respondent uPI
for violation of the Consent Order on 62
days. The Commission also affirmed the
ALJ’s finding of direct infringement of
claims 1–11 and 26–27 of the ’190
patent with respect to uPI’s formerly
accused products. The Commission also
vacated the ALJ’s finding that uPI does
not induce infringement of claims 1–11
and 26–27 of the 190 patent. The
Commission also determined to reverse
the ALJ’s finding that claims 29 and 34
of the 470 patent are directly infringed
by respondent uPI’s accused DC–DC
controllers and products containing the
same, and determined that Richtek
waived any allegations of indirect
infringement with respect to the ’470
patent. This action resulted in a finding
of no violation of the Consent Order
with respect to the ’470 patent. Further,
the Commission vacated as moot the
portion of the EID relating to the ’717
patent because the asserted claims 1–3
and 6–9 were cancelled by issuance of
Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate No.
U.S. 7,132,717 C1 on October 3, 2012.
The Commission also affirmed the ALJ’s
finding that uPI’s formerly accused
products contained or used Richtek’s
asserted trade secrets to violate the
Consent Order, but that uPI’s postConsent Order products did not
misappropriate Richtek’s asserted trade
secrets.
Both uPI and Richtek timely appealed
the Commission’s final determination.
The Federal Circuit issued its opinion in
the two appeals on September 25, 2014.
See 767 F.3d 1372. The Court affirmed
the Commission’s findings regarding
uPI’s appeal with a slight modification,
but regarding Richtek’s appeal, the
Court reversed the Commission’s
determination that uPI did not violate
the Consent Order based on trade secret
misappropriation with respect to uPI’s
post-Consent Order products. Id.
Specifically, the Court found that, on
the record provided, substantial
evidence did not support the
Commission’s conclusion that uPI’s
post-Consent Order products were
independently developed. Id. at 1383.
Also specifically, regarding uPI’s appeal
and before deciding Richtek’s appeal,
the Court reduced the number of days
of violation by eight (8) days to fifty-four
(54) days. Id. at 1380. The Court
remanded the case to the Commission
for further proceedings with respect to
violation of the Consent Order. Id. at
1383. On December 1, 2014, the Court
denied uPI’s petition for rehearing of the
Court’s finding of no independent
development of uPI’s post-Consent
