SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
As part of its mission to document
coastal change, the USGS has been
taking aerial photographs of the coast
before and after each major storm for the
past 21 years to assess damages to the
natural landscape and the built
environment. A typical mission can
consist of between approximately
3,000–10,000 photographs. The digital
photo-archive maintained by the USGS
is a valuable environmental record
almost 200,000 photographs taken
before and after 24 extreme storms along
the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. At the
same time, the USGS has been
developing mathematical models that
predict the likely interactions between
storm surge and coastal features, such as
beaches and dunes, during extreme
storms, with the aim of predicting areas
that are vulnerable to storm damage.
Currently the photographs are not used
to inform the mathematical models. The
models are based primarily on pre-storm
dune height and predicted wave
behavior.
If scientists could ‘‘ground truth’’
coastal damage by comparing before and

31348

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 128 / Thursday, July 6, 2017 / Notices

after photographs of the coast, the
predictive models might be improved. It
is not physically or economically
possible for USGS scientists to examine
all aerial photographs related to each
storm, however, and automation of this
process is also problematic. Image
analysis software is not yet
sophisticated enough to automatically
identify damages to the natural
landscape and the infrastructure that are
depicted in these photographs; human
perception and local knowledge are
required. ‘iCoast—Did the Coast
Change?’ (hereafter referred to as
‘iCoast’) is a USGS research project to
construct a web-based application that
will allow citizen volunteers to compare
these before and after photographs of
the coast and identify changes that
result from extreme storms through a
process known as ‘crowdsourcing’
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Crowdsourcing). In concept, this
application will be similar to those of
other citizen science image comparison
and classification projects such as the
Citizen Science Alliance’s Cyclone
Center project, (see
www.cyclonecenter.org), which asks
people to classify types of cyclones by
comparing satellite images.
There are two distinct purposes to
‘iCoast’:
• To allow USGS scientists to ‘ground
truth’ or validate their predictive storm
surge models. These mathematical
models, which are widely used in the
emergency management community for
locating areas of potential vulnerability
to incoming storms, are currently based
solely on pre-storm beach morphology
as determined by high-resolution
elevation data, and predicted wave
behavior derived from parameters of the
approaching storm. The on-the-ground
post-storm observations provided by
citizens using ‘iCoast’ will allow
scientists to determine the accuracy of
the models for future applications, and
• to serve as a repository of images
that enables citizens to become more
aware of their vulnerability to coastal
change and to participate in the
advancement of coastal science.
The application consists of sets of
before-and-after photographs from each
storm with accompanying educational
material about coastal hazards. Since
the photographs of a given area were
taken on different dates following
slightly different flight paths, the
geographic orientation of before and
after images may differ slightly. Often
there will be more than one image
covering approximately the same
geographic area and showing the same
coastal features. Participants are asked
to identify which post-storm image best

18:13 Jul 05, 2017

Jkt 241001

covers the same geographic area and
shows the same natural and man-made
features as the image taken after the
storm. After the best match between
before-and-after aerial photographs is
established, participants will classify
post-storm coastal damage using simple
one-or-two word descriptive tags. This
type of tagging is similar to that used in
commercial photo-sharing Web sites
such as Flickr (www.flickr.com). Each
participant will classify photographs of
their choice. They may classify as many
photographs as they wish in as many
sessions as they choose.
In order for a citizen to participate in
classifying the photographs, the
following information must be collected
by this application:
(1) Participants will login to the
‘iCoast’ application using externally
issued credentials via the Federally
approved ‘‘Open Identity Exchange’’
(www.openid.net) method. This Federal
Government program benefits users by
accelerating their sign up, reducing the
frustration of maintaining multiple
passwords, allowing them to control
their own identity, and minimizing
password security risks. User
credentials will be managed and
authenticated by Google, an Identity
Provider approved by the Federal
Government. During the login process
participants will be redirected to a
Google owned and operated login page.
Following successful authentication of
Id and password, participants are asked
by Google to confirm agreement to their
Google email address being shared with
‘iCoast’. Users have the option to
decline this and halt the login process
with no information shared to ‘iCoast’.
If a participant accepts the sharing of
their email address then the USGS will
store the address within the ‘iCoast’
database. ‘iCoast’ is never supplied nor
does it request a participant’s password
directly. Storing of the participant’s
email address by ‘iCoast’ is necessary to
permit the pairing of Google login
credentials with their ‘iCoast’ profile.
The USGS will encrypt all stored
participant email addresses. No other
information or Google account access is
shared by Google to ‘iCoast’ and nothing
is shared from ‘iCoast’ to Google at any
time.
(2) Level of expertise: At initial log in
to ‘iCoast’, the participant will be asked
to indicate what type of ‘crowd’ or
group he or she belongs to by picking
from a pre-determined list (e.g. coastal
scientist, coastal planner, coastal
resident, general public, etc.). The
participant may also optionally
contribute his or her professional
affiliation in an open text box, but this
is not required. Professional affiliation

PO 00000

Frm 00066

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

may provide additional information to
the scientists to more fully assess the
accuracy of a participant’s
classifications. Provision of level of
expertise alone will not allow an
individual to be personally identified.
(3) Keyword tagging: After comparing
pre-and post-storm aerial photographs,
participants can select predefined
keyword tags OR they can submit their
own in a free-form text field. The
keyword tags will help the USGS
determine classification accuracy, and
confirm or refute pre-storm predictions
of coastal inundation and damage
derived from the mathematical storm
surge models.
This application will have many
benefits. It will serve the cause of open
government and open data, in that these
images will be available to the public in
an easily accessible online format for
the first time. It will enhance the
science of coastal change and allow for
more accurate storm surge predictions,
benefitting emergency managers and
coastal planners. It will also familiarize
coastal communities with coastal
processes and increase their awareness
of vulnerabilities to extreme storms. We
anticipate that this application will be
used by educators to further science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) education;
outreach to educators is planned.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337
(‘‘section 337’’), on April 12, 2017,
based on a complaint filed by Curlin
Medical Inc. of East Aurora, New York;
ZEVEX, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah; and
Moog Inc. of East Aurora, New York
(collectively, ‘‘Complainants’’). 82 FR
17690–91 (Apr. 12, 2017). The
complaint alleges a violation of section
337 by reason of infringement of certain
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,164,921
(‘‘the ‘921 patent’’) and 6,371,732 (‘‘the
‘732 patent’’). The complaint named
Yangzhou WeiDeLi Trade Co., Ltd. of
Yangzhou, China (‘‘Yangzhou’’ or
‘‘Respondent’’) as the only respondent
in this investigation. The Commission’s
Office of Unfair Import Investigations
was named as a party.
On April 7, 2017, the Commission
served a copy of the Complaint and
Notice of Investigation on Yangzhou by
express delivery. EDIS Document
Number 606380. Docket Services
confirmed that the documents were
accepted by Yangzhou on April 10,
2017. Yangzhou did not timely respond
to the Complaint and Notice of
Investigation. On May 10, 2017,
Complainants filed a Motion for an
Order to Show Cause and Entry of
Default Judgement as to Respondent and
for a Stay of the Procedural Schedule.
(Mot.) On May 23, 2017, the ALJ issued
Order No. 5, granting Complainants’
motion and ordering respondent
Yangzhou to show cause why it should
not be held in default for failing to
respond to the complaint and notice of
investigation. The order set a deadline
of June 9, 2017, and no response was
received from Yangzhou.
On June 13, 2017, the ALJ issued the
subject ID (Order No. 6). The ALJ found
that Yangzhou failed to respond to

PO 00000

Frm 00067

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

31349

Order No. 5 and, accordingly, he
determined that Yangzhou be found in
default. Order No. 6 at 2. The ALJ
further stated that Yangzhou therefore
waived its right to appear, be served
with documents, and to contest the
allegations at issue in this investigation.
Id. No party petitioned for review of the
subject ID, and the Commission has
determined not to review the ID.
Complainants have indicated that they
are not seeking a general exclusion
order. See Complaint and Mot.
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 a cease
and desist order that could result in the
respondent 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.
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
