SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on March 14, 2006, based on a
complaint filed by Roadmaster (USA)
Corporation (‘‘Roadmaster’’) of
Eatontown, New Jersey. The complaint,
as amended and supplemented, alleges
violations of section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, in the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the
sale within the United States after
importation of certain portable power
stations and packaging therefor by
reason of infringement of U.S. Design
Patent No. D469,730; U.S. Trademark
Registration No. 2,594,538; and U.S.
Copyright Registration No. VA–1–261–
495. The complaint further alleges the
existence of a domestic industry. The
Commission’s notice of investigation
names Sinochem Ningbo, Ltd.
(‘‘Sinochem’’), of Ningbo, China, as the
only respondent.
The administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’)
issued an initial determination on July
12, 2006, finding Sinochem in default,
because the respondent failed to reply to
the complaint or notice of investigation,
and also failed to reply to a show cause
order issued by the ALJ on May 24,
2006. The Commission declined to
review the ALJ’s determination that the
respondent Sinochem defaulted.
On August 23, 2006, the Commission
issued a notice requesting briefing on
the issues of remedy, the public interest,
and bonding relating to the default
finding of unlawful importation and
sale of infringing products by Sinochem.
71 FR 51210 (Aug. 29, 2006).
Complainant submitted a brief along
with a proposed order on September 5,
2006. The Commission investigative
attorney (‘‘IA’’) also submitted a brief
along with a proposed order on
September 6, 2006, and further
submitted a reply brief on September
13, 2006. The Complainant chose not to
file a reply brief.
Having examined the record of this
investigation, including the submissions
of the parties, the Commission has
determined that each of the statutory
requirements of section 337(g)(1), 19
U.S.C. 1337(g)(1), has been met with
respect to defaulting respondent
Sinochem. Accordingly, pursuant to
section 337(g)(1), 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(1)
and Commission Rule 210.16(c), 19 CFR
210.16(c), the Commission presumed
the facts alleged in the complaint to be
true. The Commission determined that
the appropriate form of relief in this
investigation is a limited exclusion
order prohibiting the unlicensed entry
of portable power stations and
packaging therefor covered by U.S.
Design Patent No. D469,739; U.S.
PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM

1–261–495 that are manufactured
abroad by or on behalf of, or imported
by or on behalf of, Sinochem or any of
its affiliated companies, parents,
subsidiaries, or other related business
entities, or their successors or assigns.
The Commission further determined
that the public interest factors
enumerated in section 337(g)(1), 19
U.S.C. 1337(g)(1), do not preclude
issuance of the limited exclusion order.
Finally, the Commission determined
that the amount of bond to permit
temporary importation during the
Presidential review period, under 19
U.S.C. 1337(j), shall be in the amount of
100 percent of the entered value of the
infringing imported portable power
stations and packaging therefor. The
Commission’s order was delivered to
the President and the United States
Trade Representative on the day of its
issuance.
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 section
210.16(c) of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR
210.16(c)).
By order of the Commission.

Description: On January 29, 2001,
President George W. Bush issued
Executive Order 13198, creating the
Office for Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives in the White House and
centers for faith-based and community
initiatives (CFBCI) in the Departments
of Labor (DOL), Health and Human
Services (HHS), Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), Education (ED),
and Justice (DOJ). President Bush
charged the departmental centers with
identifying statutory, regulatory, and
bureaucratic barriers that stand in the
way of effective faith-based and
community organizations, and to
ensure, consistent with the law, that
these organizations have equal
opportunity to compete for Federal
funding and other support.
In early 2002, the CFBCI and ETA
developed and issued Solicitations for
PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM
66555
Grant Application (SGA) to engage
grassroots organizations in our
workforce system-building. These SGAs
were designed to assist faith-based and
community organizations in delivering
social services and strengthening their
existing partnerships with the local
One-Stop Career Center system, while
providing additional points of entry for
customers into that system.
These 2002 grants embodied the
Department’s principal strategy for
implementing the Executive Order:
Creating new avenues through which
qualified organizations could participate
more fully under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA), while applying
their particular strengths and assets in
providing services to our customers.
These solicitations also were derived
from an ETA–CFBCI mutual premise
that the involvement of faith-based and
community organizations can both
complement and supplement the efforts
of local workforce investment systems
in being accessible to and serving the
training, job and career-support needs of
many of our citizens.
Many faith-based and community
organizations offer unique services and
support networks that can contribute to
our mutual system-building endeavors;
are trusted institutions within our
poorest neighborhoods; and are home to
a large number of volunteers who bring
not only the transformational power of
personal relationships to the provision
of social service, but also a sustained
allegiance to the well-being and self-
sufficiency of the participants they
serve. Through their daily work and
specific programs, these organizations
strive to achieve some common
purposes shared with government—
reduction of welfare dependency,
attainment of occupational skills, and
entry and retention of all our citizens in
good-paying jobs.
The President’s Management Agenda
direct the Department of Labor Center
for Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives to evaluate and examine the
impact and outcomes of departmental
programs that include faith-based and
community non-profit organizations
(FBCO). DOL CFBCI intends to use this
data to examine the impact that
receiving and managing Federal grants
has on grassroots, faith-based and
community organizations.
Faith-based and community
organizations benefit from having equal
access to Federal funds. DOL CFBCI
intends to use this data to examine the
extent to which faith-based and
community organizations are able to use
the Federal funds (awarded through the
ETA Grants for Grassroots Organizations
from 2002 to 2005) as leverage to
