(202)205-1810. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on January 9, 2006, based on a complaint filed by Biax Corporation (“Biax”) of Boulder, Colorado. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 digital processors or digital processing systems, components thereof, or products containing the same by reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 5,021,945 (“the ‘945 patent”), 5,517,628 (“the ‘628 patent”), and 6,253,313 (“the ‘313 patent”). The complaint originally named four respondents: Philips Semiconductors B.V. of the Netherlands; Philips Consumer Electronics Services B.V. of the Netherlands; Philips Consumer Electronics North America Corp. of Atlanta, Georgia; and 2Wire, Inc. of San Jose, California. Biax previously amended the complaint and notice of investigation to remove Philips Consumer Electronics North America Corp. and Philips Consumer Electronics Services B.V. and to add Philips Electronics North America Corp., Philips Semiconductors, Inc., and Philips Consumer Electronics B.V. as respondents. On January 23, 2007, Biax moved to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to remove respondent Philips Semiconductors B.V. and to add NXP B.V. of the Netherlands as a respondent. Biax stated that it had recently learned that Philips Semiconductors B.V. was spun off into a new business entity NXP B.V. Biax also moved to withdraw claims 3, 4, 8, and 12 of the ‘945 patent and all of the asserted claims of the ‘628 patent and the ‘313 patent from the investigation to reduce the number of issues. None of the current respondents or the Commission investigative attorney opposed Biax's motion. On February 2, 2007, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 19) granting Biax's motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation. The ALJ found that, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)), there was good cause to remove respondent Philips Semiconductors B.V. and to add NXP B.V. as a respondent and to withdraw claims 3, 4, 8, and 12 of the ‘945 patent and the asserted claims of the ‘628 patent and the ‘313 patent from the investigation. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. Having examined the record of this investigation, the Commission has determined not to review the ALJ's ID. 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 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42). By order of the Commission. Issued: February 22, 2007. Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on June 9, 2006, based on a complaint filed by Novo Nordisk A/S of Denmark, Novo Nordisk Inc., of New Jersey and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals Industries, Inc. of North Carolina. 71 FR 33484 (June 9, 2006). The complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain insulin delivery devices, including cartridges having adaptor tops, and components thereof, by reason of infringement of claims 1-3, 5-7, 11, 18, and 19 of U.S. Patent 5,693,027. The complaint further alleged that an industry in the United States exists or is in the process of being established as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainants requested that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order. The Commission named three companies as respondents: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH of Germany, Sanofi-Aventis of France, and Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of New Jersey. The ALJ set August 23, 2007 as the target date for completion of the investigation. On October 5, 2006, complainants filed a motion to withdraw the complaint and terminate the investigation as to all parties. The three respondents filed a response to the motion on October 13, 2006, arguing that while they did not oppose termination of the investigation, sanctions and termination with prejudice were appropriate. The Commission investigative attorney supported the motion for termination of the investigation and opposed imposition of sanctions and termination of the investigation with prejudice. On January 29, 2007, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 6) granting complainants' motion to terminate the investigation without prejudice based upon withdrawal of the complaint. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review this ID. This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rules 210.21 and 210.42, 19 CFR 210.21 and 210.42.

The complaint alleged violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain Modified Vaccinia Ankara (“MVA”) viruses and vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions based thereon by reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 6,761,893 and 6,913,752. The complaint also alleged violations of section 337 in the importation of certain MVA viruses and vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions based thereon or in the sale of such articles by reason of misappropriation of trade secrets, the threat or effect of which is to destroy or substantially injure an industry in the United States. The complaint named a single respondent, Acambis PLC (“Acambis”) of the United Kingdom. Only the patent allegations remain in this investigation. After a hearing and post-hearing briefing, the ALJ issued a final initial determination (“final ID”) on September 6, 2006, finding no violation of section 337. The ALJ held that the patents were infringed but invalid. Bavarian Nordic, Acambis, and the Commission investigative attorney filed petitions for review of the final ID.

E7-3273 Filed 2-26-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Occupational Safety and Health Administration [Docket No. NRTL1-88] MET Laboratories, Inc.; Expansion of Recognition AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's final decision expanding the recognition of MET Laboratories, Inc.,
(MET)as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory under 29 CFR 1910.7. DATES: The expansion of recognition becomes effective on February 27, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: MaryAnn Garrahan, Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities, NRTL Program, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-3655, Washington, DC 20210, or phone
(202)693-2110. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of Final Decision The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA)hereby gives notice of the expansion of recognition of MET Laboratories, Inc.,
(MET)as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). MET's expansion covers the use of additional test standards. OSHA's current scope of recognition for MET may be found in the following informational Web page: *http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/met.html.* OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization has met the legal requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety testing and certification of the specific products covered within its scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products properly approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require testing and certification. The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial recognition or for expansion or renewal of this recognition following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires that the Agency publish two notices in the **Federal Register** in processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the application and provides its preliminary finding and, in the second notice, the Agency provides its final decision on the application. These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of that scope. We maintain an informational Web page for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages can be accessed from our Web site at *http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.* MET submitted an application, dated August 23, 2005, (see Exhibit 39-1) to expand its recognition to include 10 additional test standards. MET later amended its application through a follow-up request to add 10 more test standards (see Exhibit 39-2). The NRTL Program staff determined that each of these standards is an “appropriate test standard” within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c). However, one of these standards is already included in MET's scope. Therefore, OSHA is approving 19 test standards for the expansion. In connection with this request, OSHA did not perform an on-site review of MET's NRTL testing facilities. However, NRTL Program assessment staff reviewed information pertinent to the request and recommended that MET's recognition be expanded to include the 19 additional test standards listed below (see Exhibit 39-3). The preliminary notice announcing the expansion application was published in the **Federal Register** on August 17, 2006 (71 FR 47532). Comments were requested by September 1, but no comments were received in response to this notice. The most recent application processed by OSHA specifically related to MET's recognition granted an expansion, and the final notice for this expansion was published on December 5, 2005 (70 FR 72470). You may obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the MET application by contacting the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-2625, Washington, DC, 20210. Docket No. NRTL1-88 contains all materials in the record concerning MET's recognition. The current address of the MET facility already recognized by OSHA is: MET Laboratories, Inc., 914 West Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21230. Final Decision and Order NRTL Program staff has examined the application, the assessor's recommendation, and other pertinent information. Based upon this examination and the assessor's recommendation, OSHA finds that MET has met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject to the limitation and conditions listed below. Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the recognition of MET, subject to the following limitation and conditions. Limitation OSHA limits the expansion of MET's recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed below. OSHA has determined that each of these standards meets the requirements for an appropriate test standard, within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c). UL 82 Electric Gardening Appliances. UL 234 Low Voltage Lighting Fixtures for Use in Recreational Vehicles. UL 298 Portable Electric Hand Lamps. UL 588 Seasonal and Holiday Decorative Products. UL 867 Electrostatic Air Cleaners. UL 917 Clock-Operated Switches. UL 987 Stationary and Fixed Electric Tools. UL 1081 Swimming Pool Pumps, Filters, and Chlorinators. UL 1090 Electric Snow Movers. UL 1363 Relocatable Power Taps. UL 1447 Electric Lawn Mowers. UL 1448 Electric Hedge Trimmers. UL 1450 Motor-Operated Air Compressors, Vacuum Pumps, and Painting Equipment. UL 1559 Insect-Control Equipment—Electrocution Type. UL 1563 Electric Spas, Equipment Assemblies, and Associated Equipment. UL 1662 Electric Chain Saws. UL 1776 High-Pressure Cleaning Machines. UL 1994 Luminous Egress Path Marking Systems. UL 2089 Vehicle Battery Adapters The designation and title of the above test standards were current at the time of the preparation of the notice of the preliminary finding. OSHA's recognition of MET, or any NRTL, for a particular test standard is limited to equipment or materials (i.e., products) for which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification before use in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any product(s) for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an NRTL's scope of recognition does not include that product(s). Many UL test standards also are approved as American National Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). However, for convenience, we use the designation of the standards developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under our procedures, any NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved test standard may use either the latest proprietary version of the test standard or the latest ANSI version of that standard. You may contact ANSI to find out whether or not a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. Conditions MET must also abide by the following conditions of the recognition, in addition to those already required by 29 CFR 1910.7: OSHA must be allowed access to MET's facilities and records for purposes of ascertaining continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition and to investigate as OSHA deems necessary; If MET has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it is using under this program, it must promptly inform the test standard developing organization of this fact and provide that organization with appropriate relevant information upon which its concerns are based; MET must not engage in or permit others to engage in any misrepresentation of the scope or conditions of its recognition. As part of this condition, MET agrees that it will allow no representation that it is either a recognized or an accredited Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
(NRTL)without clearly indicating the specific equipment or material to which this recognition is tied, or that its recognition is limited to certain products; MET must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major changes in its operations as an NRTL, including details; MET will meet all the terms of its recognition and will always comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and MET will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all areas where it has been recognized.
