The Draft RMP/EIS documents the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts of four alternatives for management of BLM-administered public lands within the Rawlins Field Office. When completed, the revised RMP will fulfill the obligations set forth by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and associated Federal regulations. Four alternatives are analyzed in detail: 1. Alternative 1 (No Action Alternative): Continues existing management direction; 2. Alternative 2: Encourages development and use opportunities while minimizing impacts to cultural and natural resources; 3. Alternative 3: Fosters conservation of natural and cultural resources while providing for compatible development and use; and 4. Alternative 4: Provides development opportunities while protecting sensitive resources (Agency Preferred Alternative). There are four ACECs in the existing land use plan, the Great Divide RMP (1990): Como Bluff National Natural Landmark/ACEC (1,690 acres); Sand Hills ACEC (7,960 acres); Jep Canyon ACEC (13,810 acres); and the Shamrock Hills ACEC (18,400 acres). There are 11 potential new ACECs proposed in the Draft RMP/EIS and one proposed expansion of the Sand Hills ACEC. The ACECs are: • *Stratton Sagebrush Steppe Research Area ACEC* (5,530 acres): Values of Concern—continuous 30 year historic watershed study and infrastructure. Use Limitations—closed to locatable mineral entry, mineral material disposal, and land tenure adjustments, including sales. • *Chain Lakes ACEC* (30,560 acres): Values of Concern—unique, alkaline desert lake system and wildlife habitat. Use Limitations—may include use limitations to protect the desert lake system and its wetlands. • *Laramie Peak ACEC* (18,940 acres): Values of Concern—crucial winter habitat for big game and habitat for federally-listed threatened and endangered and BLM sensitive species. Use Limitations—proposed locatable mineral use, exploration and development when five or more acres of surface disturbance require a plan of operation. • *Red Rim Daley ACEC* (11,100 acres): Values of Concern—crucial winter habitat for pronghorn antelope. Use Limitations—plans of operations requirement for locatable mineral exploration and development for disturbance of 5 or more acres. • *Cave Creek Cave ACEC* (name changed from Shirley Mountain Bat Cave, 240 acres): Values of Concern—cave resources including hibernaculum for several species of bats. Use Limitations—seasonal closure of the Cave Creek cave gate from October 15 through April 30. • *Laramie Plains Lakes ACEC* (1,600 acres): Values of Concern—potential habitat and reintroduction sites for the endangered Wyoming toad. Use Limitations—activities may be limited to protect or avoid Wyoming toad habitat. • *Historic Trails ACEC* (40,990 acres): Values of Concern—the Overland and Cherokee Trails and the Rawlins-to-Baggs and Rawlins-to-Fort Washakie Freight Roads. Use Limitations—use/activities limited to maintain visual integrity from the trails; also includes minimizing the extent of surface disturbance, oil and gas lease stipulations regarding occupancy and closure of some areas near or including the trails, and closure to locatable mineral entry and operations. • *Blowout Penstemon ACEC* (17,050 acres): Values of Concern—occupied and potential sand dune habitat for the endangered blowout penstemon. Use Limitations—closure to mineral entry and mineral material disposals. • *Upper Muddy Creek Watershed/Grizzly ACEC* (35,200 acres): Values of Concern—unique fish habitats that support a rare community of native Colorado River Basin fish (bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, roundtail chub, mountain sucker, speckled dace), reintroduction area for the Colorado River cutthroat trout and big game crucial winter range. Use Limitations—motorized vehicle use limited to designated roads and vehicle routes and seasonal closures. • *White-Tailed Prairie Dog ACEC* (109,650 acres): Values of Concern—white tailed prairie dog complexes (element of the sagebrush steppe ecosystem). Use Limitations—motorized vehicle use limited to designated roads/vehicle routes. • *High Savery Dam ACEC* (530 acres): Values of Concern—Colorado River cutthroat trout fishery and potential for reintroduction. Use Limitations—public access restricted to foot travel only. • *JO Ranch expansion of Sand Hills ACEC* (4,740 acres): Values of Concern—same as Sand Hills with historic cultural properties through land exchange. Use Limitations—potential mineral resources use limitations dependent on surface ownership and use limitations may include those needed to protect and preserve the historical and cultural resources including the JO Ranch buildings and irrigation system and the stage stop along the historical Rawlins-to-Baggs Freight Road. Alternative 1 proposes to maintain the status of the four existing ACECs identified in the Great Divide RMP. Alternative 2 proposes to eliminate the four ACECs established in the Great Divide RMP to areas of general management. No new ACECs are proposed. Alternative 3 proposes to continue to maintain the status of two existing ACECs, Sand Hills and Como Bluffs, and establish all of the new
(11)ACECs listed above. (Alternative 3 does not include the *JO Ranch expansion of the Sand Hills ACEC.* ) As a result of public scoping and the alternative development process, Alternative 4 (Agency Preferred Alternative), proposes the following ACECs: Maintain the status of one existing ACEC, Sand Hills (7,960 acres) and include the JO Ranch expansion (4,740 acres), and establish two new ACECs: Cave Creek Cave (240 acres) and Blowout Penstemon (17,050 acres).

The complaint, as amended, alleged 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 laser bar code scanners or scan engines, components thereof, or products containing the same, by reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 5,457,308 (“the '308 patent”); 5,545,889 (“the '889 patent”); 6,220,514 (“the '514 patent”); 5,262,627 (“the '627 patent”); and 5,917,173 (“the '173 patent”). The complaint named two respondents: Metro Technologies Co., Ltd. of Suzhou, China; and Metrologic Instruments, Inc. of Blackwood, New Jersey (collectively, “Metrologic”). On January 29, 2007, the ALJ issued an initial determination (“ID”) finding a violation of Section 337 in the importation of certain laser bar code scanners and scan engines, components thereof, and products containing the same, in connection with certain asserted claims. The ID also issued monetary sanctions against Respondents for discovery abuses. Complainant, Respondents, and the Commission investigative attorney
(IA)each filed petitions for review of the ID on February 8, 2007. They each filed responses to each other's petitions on February 16, 2007. On February 21, 2007, the Commission extended the deadline for determining whether to review the subject ID by fifteen
(15)days, to March 30, 2007. On March 30, 2007, the Commission determined to review the final ID in part. Specifically, the Commission determined to review:
(1)The construction of “single, unitary, flexural component” in the '173 patent, and related issues of infringement, domestic industry, and validity;
(2)the construction of “oscillatory support means” in the '627 patent, and related issues of infringement, domestic industry, and validity;
(3)the construction of claims containing the so-called “central area” limitations in the '889 patent, and related issues of infringement, domestic industry, and validity;
(4)the construction of the “scan fragment” limitation in the '308 patent; and
(5)the construction of the term “plurality” in the '308 patent. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ's final ID, the Commission has determined to make the following modifications to the claim constructions set forth in the final ID:
(1)The “single, unitary, flexural component” in the '173 patent must include “portions integral with each other;”
(2)in the '627 patent, the “oscillatory support means” must oscillate;
(3)limitations in the '889 patent containing requirements that the folding mirror be “near” or “adjacent” the central area of the collecting mirror allow for the folding mirror to be positioned close to, and either in front of or behind, the central area of the collecting mirror, but not mounted to the collecting mirror outside of the central area;
(4)“scan fragment,” as used in the '308 patent, means “a scan that reads less than all of a bar code symbol and that would have been discarded before the advent of scan-stitching techniques;” and
(5)the term “plurality” in the '308 patent means “two or more.” These changes do not affect the ALJ's findings on validity, infringement, or domestic industry. The Commission therefore affirms those findings, as well as the finding of a violation of section 337 by Metrologic with regard to certain asserted claims of the '627 and '173 patents. 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 210.45 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.45).
