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 request to OMB for
approval of this ICR. 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 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

promulgated pursuant to the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (43
U.S.C. 1352(c)).
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 553,
‘‘Oil Spill Financial Responsibility for
Offshore Facilities.’’
Abstract: This ICR concerns the
paperwork requirements in 30 CFR part
553, including any supplementary
notices to lessees and operators that
provide clarification, description, or
explanation of these regulations, and
forms BOEM–1016 through –1023, and
BOEM–1025.
BOEM uses forms to collect
information to ensure proper and
efficient administration of its oil spill
financial responsibility requirements.
BOEM collects information to:
• Provide a standard method for
establishing whether a party is required
to demonstrate oil spill financial
responsibility for offshore facilities;
• Identify and maintain a record of
those offshore facilities that have a
potential oil spill liability requiring the
demonstration of oil spill financial
responsibility;
• Establish and maintain a
continuous record of evidence of oil
spill financial responsibility to assure
payment of claims for oil spill cleanup
and damages resulting from operations
conducted on covered offshore facilities
and from the transportation of oil from
covered offshore facilities;
• Establish and maintain a
continuous record of responsible
parties, as defined in title I of the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990, and their agents
or authorized representatives for oil
spill financial responsibility for covered
offshore facilities; and
• Establish and maintain a
continuous record of persons to contact
and U.S. agents for service of process for
claims associated with oil spills from
covered offshore facilities.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0106.
Type of Review: Renewal of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Designated applicants and holders of
leases, permits, right-of-way grants, and
right-of-use and easement grants on the
OCS and in State coastal waters who are

preparation, review, and editing are
taking longer as the documents move
through several individual reviewers.
Companies have provided this feedback
through our outreach efforts. Therefore,
BOEM is increasing hour burdens to
account for the additional review and
editing time. This increase in
respondents and burden hours may be
temporary and will be revisited by
BOEM during future reviews of U.S.
OCS supply and demand patterns.
The following table details the
individual components and respective
hour burden estimates of this ICR. In the
table, the term ‘‘oil spill financial
responsibility’’ has been shortened to
‘‘OSFR.’’

proposes to increase the annual burden
to 34,695 hours to account for changes
in industry operations due to COVID
and remote work. As COVID restrictions
ease and continue to be lifted, BOEM
expects an increase in the number of
respondents annually due to industry
practices developed during the
pandemic as companies resume
production and re-establish oil spill
financial responsibility coverage.
Remote work led to changes in how
industry reviews and processes required
documents. Prior to COVID, in-person
meetings with a group of reviewers were
held to complete the task quickly and
efficiently. Now with many employees
working from home, document

Hearing-impaired persons are advised
that information on this matter can be

Commission’s TDD terminal on (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
16, 2020, the Commission instituted this
investigation under section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’), based on a
complaint filed by complainant EMD
Serono, Inc. of Rockland, Massachusetts
(‘‘Complainant’’). See 85 FR 21267–68
(Apr. 16, 2020). The complaint, as
amended and supplemented, alleges a
violation of section 337 based on the
importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, and the sale within
the United States after importation of
certain in vitro fertilization products,
components thereof, and products
containing same (collectively, ‘‘Gray
Market IVF Products’’), by reason of
infringement of U.S. Trademark
Registration Nos. 4,689,651; 1,772,761;
3,777,170; 3,389,332; 3,816,320;
1,972,079; 3,604,207; and 3,185,427
(collectively, ‘‘the Asserted
Trademarks’’); unfair methods of
competition and unfair acts in the
importation and sale of Gray Market IVF
Products by reason of false designation
of source; and unfair methods of
competition and unfair acts in the
importation and sale of the Gray Market
IVF Products by reason of false
advertising. See id. In addition to the
Defaulting Respondents, the notice of
investigation names General Plastik
Drug Stores (‘‘Unserved Respondent’’) of
Istanbul Suadiye, Turkey as a
respondent in this investigation. See id.
The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is also a party to
the investigation. See id.
On September 1, 2020, the Chief ALJ
issued an initial determination (‘‘ID’’)
finding each of the Defaulting
Respondents in default. See Order No.
6 (Sept. 1, 2020), unreviewed by
Comm’n Notice (Sept. 24, 2020). On
October 13, 2020, the Chief ALJ also
issued an ID terminating Unserved
Respondent from the investigation

PO 00000

Frm 00053

based on the withdrawal of the
complaint allegations as to that
respondent. See Order No. 8 (Oct. 13,
2020), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice
(Oct. 26, 2020).
On April 16, 2021, the Chief ALJ
issued an ID (Order No. 10) (‘‘SD’’)
granting in part Complainant’s motion
for summary determination of violation
of section 337 by the Defaulting
Respondents with respect to
Complainant’s claim under section
337(a)(1)(C) (infringement of the
Asserted Trademarks) but denied the
motion with respect to Complainant’s
unfair competition claims under section
337(a)(1)(A). In addition, the Chief ALJ
recommended that the Commission
issue a general exclusion order (‘‘GEO’’)
and set a bond at 100 percent during the
period of Presidential review.
On May 18, 2021, the Commission
determined to review the SD (Order No.
10) in part. See Comm’n Notice (May 18,
2021). Specifically, the Commission
determined to review the SD’s findings
with respect to the economic prong of
the domestic industry requirement. See
id. The Commission determined not to
review any other findings in the SD.
On October 6, 2021, the Commission
determined to vacate the SD in part.
Specifically, the Commission vacated
the SD’s finding that Complainant has
satisfied the economic prong of the
domestic industry requirement.
Consequently, the Commission also
vacated the SD’s finding of a violation
of section 337 and remanded the
investigation to the Chief ALJ. Because
Complainant requested a GEO, the
Commission found that Complainant
failed to establish a violation by
‘‘substantial, reliable, and probative
evidence’’ and that genuine issues of
material fact remained as to whether the
economic prong of the domestic
industry requirement was satisfied. See
Comm’n Op. at 8 n.9, 25 (Oct. 6, 2021)
(citing 19 U.S.C. 1337(g)(2)).
Commissioners Karpel and Schmidtlein
dissented from the Commission’s
decision that Complainant had failed to
satisfy the economic prong of the
domestic industry requirement and
would have found a violation of section
337 based on substantial, reliable, and
probative evidence.
