the Elizabeth River. Though stormwater
parks will be designed to maximize
storage, they can also be educational
and created in a way that serves as a
destination for Norfolk residents by
providing premier opportunities for
outdoor sports, play, and fitness for
citizens of all ages.
Alternatives to the Proposed Action:
Consistent with the Council on
Environmental Quality regulations (40
CFR 1502.14) implementing NEPA, the
EIS will examine a range of reasonable
alternatives to the proposed project that
are potentially feasible. As required by
NEPA, the alternatives will be evaluated
at the same level of detail as the
proposed project. As a result of the
scoping efforts to date, the alternatives
currently proposed for evaluation in the
EIS include:
(1) No Project/Action Alternative.
This required alternative would
evaluate the environmental impacts if
the proposed project were not
constructed and existing conditions
remain unchanged.
(2) Preferred Alternative. The
alternative attaining the most objectives
of the project that can be accomplished
while also substantially lessening
significant environmental effects.
(3) Two other alternatives (to be
identified) based on input received
during the scoping process and feasible
project alternatives that avoid or
minimize significant environmental
effects.
Probable Environmental Effects: The
following topics have been identified for
analysis in the EIS for probable
environmental effects: coastal zone
management, contamination and toxic
substances, floodplain management,
historic preservation, noise abatement
and control, wetlands protection,
environmental justice, hazards and
nuisances (site safety and noise),
vibration, and transportation and
accessibility.
Lead Agency: For purposes of
complying with NEPA and in
accordance with HUD regulations at 24
CFR part 58, the Commonwealth of
Virginia, acting through the Virginia
Department of Housing and Community
Development, is the Lead Agency and
Responsible Entity assuming
environmental responsibility for the
Ohio Creek Watershed Project.

Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States Department of the Interior is
responsible for collecting royalties from
lessees who produce minerals from
leased Federal and Indian lands and the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Under
various laws, the Secretary’s
responsibilities are to manage mineral
resources production from Federal and
Indian lands and the OCS, collect the
royalties and other mineral revenues
due, and distribute the funds collected.
The Secretary also has a trust
responsibility to manage Indian lands
and seek advice and input from Indian
beneficiaries. ONRR performs the
royalty management functions and
assists the Secretary in carrying out the
Department’s responsibility for Indian
lands. We have posted those laws
pertaining to mineral leases on Federal
and Indian lands and the OCS at http://
onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/PubLaws/
default.htm.

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

I. General Information
If ONRR determines that a lessee has
not properly reported or paid royalties
and other mineral revenues, we may
issue an order to pay additional
royalties, a Notice of Noncompliance, or
a Civil Penalty Notice requiring correct
reporting or payment. Lessees then have
a right to appeal ONRR determinations.

Jkt 244001

Implementing regulations at 30 CFR
part 1243 govern the suspension of
orders or decisions and to stay the
accrual of civil penalties (if the Office of
Hearings and Appeals grants a lessee’s
petition to stay accrual of civil
penalties), pending administrative
appeal for Federal leases. These
regulations require an appellant to
submit information demonstrating
financial solvency in lieu of providing
a surety. For those appellants who are
not financially solvent or for appeals
involving Indian leases, ONRR requires
appellants to post a surety instrument to
secure the financial interest of the
public and Indian lessors during the
entire administrative or judicial appeal
process. This ICR covers the burden
hours that appellants incur when
submitting the financial statements or
surety instruments, subject to annual
audit, that are required to stay an ONRR
order, decision, or accrual of civil
penalties.
II. Information Collections
Title 30 CFR 1243.1 states that lessees
or recipients of ONRR orders may
suspend compliance with an order if
they appeal under 30 CFR part 1290.
Pending appeal, ONRR may suspend the
payment requirement if the appellant
submits a formal agreement of payment
in case of default such as a bond or
other surety; for Federal oil and gas
leases, the appellant may demonstrate
financial solvency. If the Office of
Hearings and Appeals grants a lessee’s,
or other recipient of a Notice of
Noncompliance or Civil Penalty Notice,
request to stay the accrual of civil
penalties under 30 CFR 1241.55(b)(2)
and 1241.63(b)(2), the lessee or other
recipient must post a bond or other
surety, or for Federal oil and gas leases,
demonstrate financial solvency.
ONRR accepts the following surety
types: form ONRR–4435, Administrative
Appeal Bond; form ONRR–4436, Letter
of Credit; form ONRR–4437, Assignment
of Certificate of Deposit; Self-bonding;
and U.S. Treasury Securities.
When an appellant selects and puts
one of the surety types in place, the
appellant must maintain the surety until
completion of the appeal. If the appeal
is decided in favor of the appellant,
ONRR returns the surety to the
appellant. If the appeal is decided in
favor of ONRR, then we will take action
to collect the total amount due or draw
down on the surety. We draw down on
a surety if the appellant fails to comply
with requirements relating to the
amount due, timeframe, or surety
submission or resubmission. Whenever
ONRR must draw down on a surety, we
must draw down the total amount due,

which is defined as unpaid principal
plus the interest accrued to the
projected receipt date of the surety
payment. Appellants may refer to the
Surety Instrument Posting Instructions,
which are at http://www.onrr.gov/
compliance/appeals.htm.
Forms and Other Surety Types
Form ONRR–4435 [Administrative
Appeal Bond]
Appellants may file form ONRR–
4435, Administrative Appeal Bond,
which ONRR uses to secure the
financial interests of the public and
Indian lessors during the entire
administrative and judicial appeal
process. Under 30 CFR 1243.4,
appellants must submit their contact
and surety amount information on the
bond to obtain the benefit of suspension
of an obligation to comply with an
order. A surety company that the U.S.
Department of the Treasury approves
(see Department of the Treasury Circular
No. 570, as revised periodically in the
Federal Register) must issue the bond.
The ONRR Director or the ONRRdelegated bond-approving officer
maintains these bonds in a secure
facility. After the appeal has concluded,
ONRR may release and return the bond
to the appellant or collect payment on
the bond. If collection is necessary for
a remaining balance, ONRR will issue a
demand for payment to the surety
company with a notice to the appellant.
We also will include all interest accrued
on the affected bill.
Form ONRR–4436 [Letter of Credit]
Appellants may choose to file form
ONRR–4436, Letter of Credit (LOC),
with no modifications. Requirements at
30 CFR 1243.4 continues to apply. The
ONRR Director or the ONRR-delegated
bond-approving officer maintains the
LOC in a secure facility.
The appellant is responsible for
verifying that the bank provides a
current Fitch rating to ONRR. After the
appeal has been concluded, ONRR may
release and return the LOC to the
appellant or collect payment on the
LOC. If collection is necessary for a
remaining balance, we will issue a
demand for payment, which includes all
interest assessed on the affected bill, to
the bank with a notice to the appellant.
Form ONRR–4437 [Assignment of
Certificate of Deposit]
Appellants may choose to secure a
debt using a Certificate of Deposit (CD)
from a bank with the required minimum
Fitch rating and by submitting form
ONRR–4437, Assignment of Certificate
of Deposit. Appellants must file the

E:\FR\FM\18DEN1.SGM

18DEN1

60036

request with ONRR prior to the invoice
due date. We will accept a book-entry
CD that explicitly assigns the CD to the
Director. If collection of the CD is
necessary for an unpaid balance, we
will return unused CD funds to the
appellant after total settlement of the
appealed issues including applicable
interest charges.
Self-Bonding
For Federal oil and gas leases,
regulations at 30 CFR 1243.201 provides
that no surety instrument is required
when a person representing the
appellant periodically demonstrates to
the satisfaction of ONRR, that the
guarantor or appellant is financially
solvent or otherwise able to pay the
obligation. Appellants must submit a
written request to ‘‘self-bond’’ every
time a new appeal is filed. To evaluate
the financial solvency and exemption
from requirements of appellants to
maintain a surety related to an appeal,
ONRR requires appellants to submit a
consolidated balance sheet subject to
annual audit. In some cases, we also
require copies of the most recent tax
returns (up to 3 years) that appellants
file.
In addition, appellants must annually
submit financial statements, subject to
audit, to support their net worth. ONRR
uses the consolidated balance sheet or
business information supplied to
evaluate the financial solvency of a
lessee, designee, or payor seeking a stay
of payment obligation pending review.
If appellants do not have a consolidated
balance sheet documenting their net

worth or if they do not meet the $300
million net worth requirement, ONRR
selects a business information or credit
reporting service to provide information
concerning an appellant’s financial
solvency. We charge the appellant a $50
fee each time we need to review data
from a business information or credit
reporting service. The fee covers our
costs in determining an appellant’s
financial solvency.
U.S. Treasury Securities
Appellants may choose to secure their
debts by requesting to use a U.S.
Treasury Security (TS). Appellants must
file the letter of request with ONRR
prior to the invoice due date. The TS
must be a U.S. Treasury note or bond
with maturity equal to or greater than 1
year. The TS must equal 120 percent of
the appealed amount plus 1 year of
estimated interest (necessary to protect
ONRR against interest rate fluctuations).
ONRR only accepts a book-entry TS.
III. OMB Approval
The information we collect under this
ICR is essential in order to require
response from appellants to suspend
compliance with an order pending
appeal.
We are requesting OMB’s approval to
continue to collect this information. Not
collecting this information would limit
the Secretary’s ability to discharge
fiduciary duties and also may result in
loss of royalty and other payments.
ONRR protects the proprietary
information received and does not
collect items of a sensitive nature in this
ICR.

Burden Cost: There are no additional
recordkeeping costs associated with this
ICR. However, ONRR estimates that five
appellants per year will pay a $50 fee
to obtain credit data from a business
information or credit reporting service,
which is a total ‘‘non-hour’’ cost burden
of $250 per year (5 appellants per year
× $50 = $250).

7,355,805 (‘‘the ’805 patent’’). The
Complaint further alleges the existence
of a domestic industry. The
Commission’s Notice of Investigation
named as respondents Sony Corporation
of Tokyo, Japan, Sony Corporation of
America of New York, New York, and
Sony Electronics Inc. of San Diego,
California (collectively, ‘‘Sony’’). The
Office of Unfair Import Investigations
(‘‘OUII’’) was also named as a party to
the investigation. The Commission later
terminated the investigation as to the
’101 patent. Order No. 24 (Jan. 18,
2017); Notice (Feb. 15, 2017).
On September 1, 2017, the ALJ issued
his final ID finding a violation of section
337 with respect to claims 1, 4–9, 11,
and 14 of the ’891 patent and asserted
claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the ’612
patent. The ALJ found no violation of
section 337 with respect to asserted
claims 9–11 of the ’612 patent; asserted
claim 2, 5, and 6 of the ’106 patent;
asserted claim 1 of the ’434 patent; and
asserted claims 3 and 10 of the ’805
patent.
In particular, the Final ID finds that
Sony’s accused products infringe claims
1, 4–9, 11, and 14 of the ’891 Patent
under 35 U.S.C. 271(a). The Final ID
also finds that Fujifilm’s domestic
industry (‘‘DI’’) products practice the
asserted claims of the ’891 Patent, thus
Fujifilm has satisfied the technical
prong of the domestic industry
requirement with respect to the ’891
Patent regarding its LTO–6 and LTO–7
DI products. The Final ID finds that

Sony has not shown that the asserted
claims of the ’891 Patent are invalid
under 35 U.S.C. 102, 103, or 112.
The Final ID finds that Sony’s
accused products infringe asserted
claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the ’612
Patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(a). The Final
ID finds, however, that Fujifilm failed to
show that Sony has induced
infringement of claims 9–11 of the ’612
Patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(b). The Final
ID further finds that Fujifilm’s DI
products practice claims 1, 2, 4, 5, and
7–11 of the ’612 Patent and, thus,
Fujifilm has satisfied the technical
prong of the domestic industry
requirement with respect to the ’612
Patent regarding its LTO–6 and LTO–7
DI products. The Final ID finds that
Sony has not shown that the asserted
claims of the ’612 Patent are invalid
under 35 U.S.C. 102, 103, or 112.
The Final ID finds that the accused
products do not infringe asserted claims
2, 5, and 6 of the ’106 Patent under 35
U.S.C. 271(a). The Final ID further finds
that neither Fujifilm’s LTO–6 nor LTO–
7 DI products practice any claim of the
’106 Patent, thus Fujifilm has failed to
satisfy the technical prong of the
domestic industry requirement with
respect to the ’106 Patent. The Final ID
also finds that Sony has not shown that
the asserted claims of the ’106 Patent are
invalid under 35 U.S.C. 102 or 103, but
has shown that the asserted claims of
the ’106 Patent are indefinite under 35
U.S.C. 112.
The Final ID finds that the accused
products do not infringe asserted claim
1 of the ’434 under 35 U.S.C. 271(a). The
Final ID further finds that Fujifilm’s
LTO–7 DI products do not practice any
claim of the ’434 Patent, thus Fujifilm
has failed to satisfy the technical prong
of the domestic industry requirement
with respect to the ’434 Patent. The
Final ID finds that Sony has not shown
that the asserted claims of the ’434
Patent are invalid under 35 U.S.C. 102,
103, or 112.
The Final ID finds the accused
products do not infringe asserted claims
3 and 10 of the ’805 Patent under 35
U.S.C. 271(a). The Final ID further finds
that Fujifilm’s LTO–7 DI products
practice claims 1, 2, 3, and 10 of the
’805 Patent. The Commission notes that
the Final ID misstates its finding
concerning the technical prong in the
Conclusions of Fact and Law with
respect to the ’805 Patent The Final ID
finds that Sony has not shown that the
asserted claims of the ’805 Patent are
invalid under 35 U.S.C. 102, 103, or
112.
The Final ID finds that Fujifilm has
satisfied the economic prong of the
domestic industry requirement with
