telephone at 703–787–1025. Individuals
in the United States who are deaf,
deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a
speech disability may dial 711 (TTY,
TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside of the United States
should use the relay services offered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, BOEM provides
the general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps BOEM assess
the impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand BOEM’s information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
BOEM is soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR described below. BOEM is
especially interested in public
comments addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of BOEM; (2) what
can BOEM do to ensure that this
information is processed and used in a
timely manner; (3) is the burden
estimate accurate; (4) how might BOEM
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might BOEM minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including minimizing the
burden through the use of information
technology?
Comments submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record.
BOEM will include or summarize each
comment in its ICR to OMB for approval
of this information collection. You
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your address,
phone number, email address, or other
personally identifiable information
included in your comment—may be
made publicly available. You may
request that BOEM withhold from

PO 00000

disclosure your personally identifiable
information. Your request must identify
any information contained in your
comment that, if released, would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
also must briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of disclosure of
that information, such as
embarrassment, injury, or other harm.
While you can ask in your comment that
your personally identifiable information
be withheld from public disclosure,
BOEM cannot guarantee that it will be
able to do so under the law.
BOEM protects proprietary
information in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552), the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing regulations (43 CFR
part 2), and BOEM’s regulations at 30
CFR parts 550 and 552 promulgated
pursuant to the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1352(c)).
Title of Collection: Leasing of Sulfur
or Oil and Gas in the Outer Continental
Shelf (30 CFR part 550, part 556, and
part 560).
Abstract: This ICR concerns the
paperwork requirements in the
regulations under 30 CFR part 550, part
556, and part 560 and the related
notices to lessees and operators (NTL).
This ICR also concerns the use of forms
to process bonds, transfer interest in
leases, and file relinquishments.
The OCS Lands Act, as amended (43
U.S.C. 1331 et seq.), authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to prescribe
rules and regulations to administer
leasing of the OCS and all operations
conducted under a lease. Operations on
the OCS must preserve, protect, and
develop oil and natural gas resources in
a manner that is consistent with the
need to make such resources available
to meet the Nation’s energy needs;
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments;
ensure the public a fair return on the
resources of the OCS; and preserve and
maintain free enterprise competition.
Also, the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 prohibits
certain lease bidding arrangements (42
U.S.C. 6213(c)).
OMB Control Number: 1010–0006.

Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federal
oil, gas, or sulfur lessees and operators.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 21,826 responses.

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 21,935 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory
or required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion
or annual.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Burden Cost: $766,053.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Hour Burden: We expect
the burden estimate for the renewal will
be 21,935 hours with 21,826 responses,
which reflects an increase of 2,881
hours and 11,628 responses. One hour
of the increase accounts for Alaska’s

surety bond submission (30 CFR
550.1011), which was not previously
included in the annual burden hours.
The remaining increase of 2,880 annual
burden hours accounts for submissions
of documents under 30 CFR 556.715
and 556.808. Under the current 1010–
0006, BOEM accounted for the burden
hours to file the requisite fees but did
not account for the burden hours to
submit the requisite documents.

individual components and respective

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted the underlying
investigation on March 24, 2020, based
on a complaint filed on behalf of
Corning Optical Communications LLC
(‘‘Corning’’) of Charlotte, North
Carolina. 85 FR 16653–54 (Mar. 24,
2020). The complaint, as supplemented,
alleged violations of section 337 in the
importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, or the sale within
the United States after importation of
certain high-density fiber optic
equipment and components thereof by
reason of infringement of certain claims
of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,020,320 (the ‘‘ ’320
patent’’), 10,444,456 (the ‘‘ ’456 patent’’),
10,120,153 (the ‘‘ ’153 patent’’),
8,712,206 (the ‘‘ ’206 patent’’), and
10,094,996 (‘‘the ’996 patent’’). Id. The
’996 patent was subsequently
terminated from the investigation. See
Order No. 11 (July 29, 2020),
unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Aug. 13,

Illinois; and The LAN Wirewerks
Research Laboratories Inc. d/b/a
Wirewerks of Quebec, Canada; and The
Siemon Company (‘‘Siemon’’) of
Watertown, Connecticut (collectively,
‘‘Respondents’’). See Comm’n Op. at
3–5 (Aug. 23, 2021). The remaining
respondents were either found in
default pursuant to Commission Rule
210.16, or terminated from the
investigation based on withdrawal of
the allegations in the complaint or a
settlement agreement. Id. The notice of
investigation also named the Office of
Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) as
a party. Id. at 4.
On March 23, 2021, the ALJ issued a
final initial determination (‘‘ID’’) finding
a violation of section 337 with respect
to claims 1 and 3 of the ’320 patent;
claims 11, 12, 14–16, 19, 21, 27, and 28
of the ’456 patent; claims 9, 16, 23, and
26 of the ’153 patent; and claims 22 and
23 of the ’206 patent (collectively,
‘‘Asserted Patents’’).
On May 24, 2021, the Commission
determined to review the final ID in
part. 86 FR 28890–93 (May 28, 2021).
On August 3, 2021, the Commission
determined that Corning established a

claims 1 and 3 of the ’320 patent; claims
11, 12, 14–16, 19, 21, 27, and 28 of the
’456 patent; claims 9, 16, 23, and 26 of
the ’153 patent; and claims 22 and 23 of
the ’206 patent. 86 FR 43564–66 (Aug.
9, 2021). Among other findings, the
Commission affirmed with
modifications the ID’s finding that
Panduit induced infringement of the
asserted claims of the ’320, ’456, and
’153 patents but not the ’206 patent. As
a remedy, the Commission determined
to issue a general exclusion order
(‘‘GEO’’) and cease and desist orders
(‘‘CDOs’’), including one directed to
Panduit.
On November 24, 2021, Corning filed
a complaint requesting that the
Commission institute an enforcement
proceeding under Commission Rule
210.75 to investigate alleged violations
of the GEO and CDO by Panduit. On
December 28, 2021, the Commission
determined to institute an enforcement
proceeding to determine whether
violations of the GEO and CDO have
occurred and to determine what, if any,
enforcement measures are appropriate.
Panduit and OUII were named as
parties. The Commission referred the
enforcement proceeding to the Chief
ALJ for designation of a presiding ALJ
to conduct any necessary proceedings,
issue an Enforcement Initial
Determination, and make a
recommendation on appropriate
enforcement measures, if any.
On November 29, 2021, Panduit,
Siemon, and FS filed a notice of appeal
with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit seeking review of the
Commission’s determination. The
appeal (Docket No. 2022–1228) was
docketed on December 7, 2021.
On April 18, 2022, Panduit filed the
subject request for an advisory opinion
that three new fiber optic equipment
designs that it developed do not infringe
any asserted claims of the Asserted
Patents and are therefore not covered by
the GEO and CDO issued in this
investigation. Panduit’s new designs
include: (1) A patch panel design with
a density of 192 fiber optic connections
in a 1U space; (2) a patch panel design
with a density of 144 fiber optic
connections in a 1U space; and (3) a
new enclosure design with a density of
192 fiber optic connections in a 1U
space (collectively, ‘‘New Designs’’). On
April 28, 2022, Corning and OUII filed
responses to Panduit’s request.
Having reviewed Panduit’s request
and the supporting documents, the
