Background

These preliminary results of review are made in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On September 10, 2018, Commerce published the notice of initiation for the administrative review. 1 Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the partial federal government closure from December 22, 2018 through the resumption of operations on January 29, 2019, moving the deadline to May 13, 2019. 2 On May 9, 2019, we extended the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of the review to no later than August 27, 2019. 3 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of the review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 4

A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and to all parties in the Central Records Unit, located in room B8094 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

The products covered by the scope of the order are certain steel nails from Malaysia. For a complete description of the scope, see Appendix I of this notice.

In the Initiation Notice, we initiated a review of nine companies. 5 Subsequently, the petitioner, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc., withdrew its request for review of five of these companies. No other parties had requested a review of these companies. Thus, in response to the petitioner's timely filed withdrawal request and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the administrative review of the following companies: Astrotech Steels Private Limited, Caribbean International Co. Ltd., Chia Pao Metal Co., Ltd., Jinhai Hardware Co. Ltd., and Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd.

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

We preliminarily determine that, for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, the following weighted-average dumping margins exist:

Commerce will disclose to parties to the proceeding any calculations performed in connection with these preliminary results of review within five days after the date of publication of this notice. 6 Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than seven days after the date on which the last verification report is issued in this administrative review. 7 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than five days after the deadline for filing case briefs. 8 Parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 9 Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS. 10

Interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice. 11 Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues parties intend to discuss. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a date and time to be determined. 12 Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.

Unless extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register , pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. 13 The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. 14 We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review.

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Inmax and Region listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or in the investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-others rate of 2.66 percent. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and sections 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 351.221(b)(4).

I. The National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee

Quantum information science (QIS) has the opportunity to revolutionize our scientific knowledge, improve our industrial base, and provide substantial economic and national security benefits. Many recognize that QIS technologies will likely underpin almost every aspect of technology two decades from now, as can be seen by the strong increase in industrial investment from both established firms and a host of new startups.

This base science and technology matters. Think to the impact of atomic clocks, an early quantum technology, on enabling the Global Positioning System and modern telecommunications. We are witnessing a second information technology (IT) revolution with quantum devices enabling previously undreamt of possibilities. Fundamentally, new technologies of this nature can come to underpin significant aspects of the national economic and defense ecosystem.

The National Quantum Initiative Act calls for the establishment of a whole-of-Government approach to QIST research and development—the NQI. This effort will leverage the leadership position of the United States in this area to expand our global edge in the face of increasing international and multinational pressure. This notice announces the establishment, as required by Statute, of the Committee to advise the President and the SCQIS on the direction and implementation of the NQI. One of the Committee's activities will be to provide biennial reports on the NQI to ensure that recommendations for improvements and changes are developed and promulgated on a regular basis, enabling research on the cutting edge of scientific discovery, the next generation workforce, the next generation industry, international collaboration, and economic and national security.

Unless otherwise extended, the Committee will terminate December 21, 2030, 11 years after the date of the NQIA signing, according to the exception to section 14 of the FACA in the NQIA. The Department of Energy shall provide the Committee with funding and administrative support as may be necessary for the performance of the Committee's functions.

The Committee will advise the President, the Secretary of Energy (Secretary), and the SCQIS in their efforts to maintain United States leadership in QIS.

Members must be able to actively participate in the tasks of the Committee including, but not limited to regularly attending and participating in meetings, reviewing materials, and participating in conference calls, working groups, and formal subcommittees. The Committee may advise the SCQIS in any of its efforts, so the Secretary will consider nominees who can best support, in an advisory capacity, any of the following functions:

• Devising a national strategy for maintaining leadership in QIS, including enabling new scientific discovers, empowering quantum-related industry, utilizing existing and new infrastructure, enabling international collaborations, and providing for improved economic and national security;

Two sections of the Clean Air Act (CAA) govern the establishment and revision of the NAAQS. Section 108 (42 U.S.C. 7408) directs the Administrator to identify and list certain air pollutants and then to issue air quality criteria for those pollutants. The Administrator is to list those air pollutants that in his “judgment, cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare”; “the presence of which in the ambient air results from numerous or diverse mobile or stationary sources”; and “for which . . . [the Administrator] plans to issue air quality criteria . . .” (42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(1)(A)-(C)). Air quality criteria are intended to “accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air . . .” (42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(2)). Under section 109 (42 U.S.C. 7409), the EPA establishes primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for pollutants for which air quality criteria are issued. Section 109(d) requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria. The revised air quality criteria reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health or welfare. The EPA is also required to periodically review and revise the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the revised criteria. Section 109(d)(2) requires that an independent scientific review committee “shall complete a review of the criteria . . . and the national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards . . . and shall recommend to the Administrator any new . . . standards and revisions of the existing criteria and standards as may be appropriate . . . .” Since the early 1980s, this independent review function has been performed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC).

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the air quality criteria and NAAQS for PM. The EPA's overall plan for this review is presented in the Integrated Review Plan for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter (IRP). 1 A draft of the Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter (ISA)  2 was reviewed by the CASAC at a public meeting in December 2018 (83 FR 55529, November 6, 2018) and discussed on a public teleconference in March 2019 (84 FR 8523, March 8, 2019). The draft PA announced today draws from the scientific evidence assessed in the draft ISA, together with the results of air quality and other quantitative analyses, as available. When final, the PA is intended to “bridge the gap” between the scientific and technical information available in the review and the judgments required of the Administrator in determining whether to retain or revise the existing PM NAAQS. The draft PA will be available on or about September 4, 2019, on the EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/naaqs/particulate-matter-pm-air-quality-standards.

The EPA is soliciting advice and recommendations from the CASAC by means of a review of the draft PA at an upcoming public meeting. Information about this public meeting, including the dates and location, will be published as a separate notice in the Federal Register . Following the CASAC meeting, the EPA will consider comments received from the CASAC and the public in preparing revisions to the draft PA.

The documents briefly described above do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, any final EPA policy, viewpoint, or determination. The EPA will consider any public comments submitted in response to this notice when revising the draft PA.

The proposed Settlement Agreement would resolve U.S. Steel's challenges, with respect to Minntac, to the following actions: 2013 RH FIP Rule, 78 FR 8,706 (February 6, 2013); 2013 RH SIP partial disapprovals for Michigan and Minnesota, 78 FR 59,825 (September 30, 2013); 2016 revised RH FIP for Michigan and Minnesota, 81 FR 21,672 (April 12, 2016); and EPA's denial of U.S. Steel's petitions for reconsideration of the 2013 FIP, 2013 SIP partial disapprovals, and 2016 revised FIP, 82 FR 57,125 (December 4, 2017). See United States Steel Corporation v. EPA, Case Nos. 13-3595 (8th Cir. filed November 29, 2013), 16-2668 (8th Cir. filed June 13, 2016), and 18-1249 (8th Cir. filed February 1, 2018).

The proposed Settlement Agreement would require EPA to propose a combined facility-wide NO X emission limit of 1.6 lbs NO X /MMBtu, based on a 30-day rolling average, for Minntac Lines 3 through 7. This limit would apply regardless of the fuel used. Under the terms of the proposed Settlement Agreement, EPA agrees to propose amendments to 40 CFR part 52 that, if finalized, would require U.S. Steel to begin complying with the new facility-wide limit for Minntac beginning with the 30-day period between September 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019, at the latest. The facility-wide NO X emission limit would replace the individual NO X emission limits currently required for each of Minntac's five lines pursuant to the 2013 RH FIP Rule. The proposed Settlement Agreement also provides that nothing in the terms of the proposed Settlement Agreement shall be construed to limit or modify the discretion accorded EPA by the Clean Air Act or by general principles of administrative law. See the proposed Settlement Agreement for specific details.

For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this action, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed Settlement Agreement from persons who are not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed Settlement Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act.

The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2019-0519) contains a copy of the proposed settlement agreement. The official public docket is available for public viewing at the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566-1752.

An electronic version of the public docket is available through www.regulations.gov. You may use www.regulations.gov to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the official public docket, and access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in the appropriate docket identification number then select “search.”

It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not included in the official public docket or in the electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket Center.

You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section. Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider late comments.

If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.

Use of the www.regulations.gov website to submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The electronic public docket system is an “anonymous access” system, which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail (email) system is not an “anonymous access” system. If you send an email comment directly to the Docket without going through www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

This action is directed to the public in general. Although this action may be of particular interest to those persons who conduct or sponsor research on pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action.

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

Under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or one acre or more of water.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the following EUP application may be of regional and national significance, and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP application:

Submitter: Oxitec, Ltd., (93167-EUP-E).

Pesticide Chemical: OX5034 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes expressing tetracycline Trans-Activator Variant (tTAV-OX5034) protein.

Summary of Request: Oxitec Ltd. is proposing to test OX5034 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes expressing tTAV-OX5034 protein in the states of Florida and Texas on up to 6600 total acres at a maximum rate of 0.000056 g active ingredient (tTAV-OX5034), equivalent to 20,000 male OX5034 mosquitoes, per acre per week. The proposed experiments are to evaluate the efficacy of OX5034 mosquitoes as a tool for suppression of wild Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. Female offspring of the OX5034 mosquitoes in the environment are expected to die before they mature into adults and therefore exposure to biting female mosquitoes is not anticipated.

Following the review of the application and any comments and data received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced in the Federal Register .

At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Abstract: The authority for EPA's oil pollution prevention requirements is derived from section 311(j)(1)(C) of the Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. EPA's regulation is codified at 40 CFR part 112. An SPCC Plan will help an owner or operator identify the necessary procedures, equipment, and resources to prevent an oil spill and to respond to an oil spill in a timely manner. If implemented effectively, the SPCC Plan is expected to prevent oil spills and reduce the impact and severity of oil spills. Although the owner or operator is the primary data user, EPA may also require the owner or operator to submit data to the Agency in certain situations to ensure facilities comply with the SPCC regulation and to help allocate response resources. State and local governments may use the data, which are not generally available elsewhere and can assist local emergency preparedness planning efforts. EPA does not require an owner or operator to submit their SPCC Plan but may request the SPCC Plan during a facility inspection or an oil spill incident for review. The SPCC regulation requires the owner or operator to maintain a complete copy of the Plan at the facility if the facility is normally attended at least four hours per day or at the nearest field office if the facility is not so attended. The rule also requires that the Plan be available to the Regional Administrator for on-site review during normal working hours (40 CFR 112.3(e)).

SPCC Plan Preparation. Under section 112.3(a) or (b), the owner or operator of an onshore or offshore facility subject to this section must prepare in writing and implement an SPCC Plan in accordance with section 112.7 and any other applicable sections in the regulation. Section 112.7 requires that the Plan be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. The section also requires that the Plan have the full approval of management at a level of authority to commit the necessary resources to fully implement the Plan. Specific provisions in this section, among others, require the owner or operator to predict the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as result of each type of major equipment failure (section112.7(b)); provide for appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge (section112.7(c)); provide for Professional Engineer (PE) certification or a qualified facility certification (section112.7(d)); and conduct inspections and tests and maintain records (section112.7(e)).

Plan Certification. Under section 112.3(d), a SPCC Plan must be reviewed and certified by a licensed PE for it to be effective to satisfy the requirements except as provided by 40 CFR 112.6, Qualified Facilities Plan Requirements. Under section 112.6, the owner or operator of a qualified facility may self-certify the Plan if the facility meets the eligibility criteria in section 112.3(g).

SPCC Plan Maintenance. Under section 112.5, the owner or operator must complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once every five years. As a result of this review and evaluation, the owner or operator must amend the Plan within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if the technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge of oil.

Recordkeeping. Under section 112.7(e), an owner or operator must conduct inspections and tests and maintain records. The inspections and tests must be conducted in accordance with written procedures the facility or the certifying engineer developed for the facility. The written procedures and a record of the inspections and tests must be signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector and kept with the SPCC Plan for a period of three years. Records of inspections and tests may be kept under usual and customary business practices.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are the owners or operators of facilities that are required to have a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan under the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation (40 CFR part 112). The applicability, definitions, and general requirements for all facilities and all types of oil are located in section 112.1 of the regulations and apply to any owner or operator of a non-transportation-related onshore or offshore facility engaged in drilling, producing, gathering, storing, processing, refining, transferring, distributing, using or consuming oil and oil products, which due to its location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines in quantities that may be harmful. (See 40 CFR 112.1(a) through (d) for further information about the applicability of the oil pollution prevention regulations.)

Entities potentially affected by this action are in the following industries: Oil and gas extraction, farms, electric utilities, petroleum refining and related industries, chemical manufacturing, food manufacturing, manufacturing facilities using and storing animal fats and vegetable oils, metal manufacturing, real estate rental and leasing, retail and wholesale trade, transportation, petroleum bulk stations and terminals, fuel oil dealers, hospitals and other health care, accommodation and food services, gasoline stations, finance and insurance, mining, warehousing and storage, pipelines, and government and military installations, among others.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, pursuant to 40 CFR 112.3(e).

Estimated number of respondents: 541,000 (total). This figure will be updated as needed during the 60-day OMB review period.

Frequency of response: Facilities must prepare and implement an SPCC Plan before beginning operations and review, evaluate and update the SPCC Plan every five years. In the event of certain discharges of oil into navigable waters, a facility owner or operator must submit certain information to the Regional Administrator within 60 days.

Total estimated burden: 6.2 million hours (per year). This figure will be updated as needed during the 60-day OMB review period. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $797 million (per year), includes $184 million annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. These figures will be updated with most recent available wage rates from BLS and to account for any changes in O&M costs, burden and number of respondents.

Changes in Estimates: The above burden estimates are based on the current approved ICR, OMB Control No. 0328.17. In the final notice for the renewal ICR, EPA will publish revised burden estimates based on updates to respondent data and unit costs. Any change in burden will be described and explained in this section when the updated ICR Supporting Statement is completed during the 60-day OMB review period. In this notice, the Agency is requesting comments on the burden and costs estimated in the current ICR. The Agency is also requesting comments on the ICR's characterizations, assumptions, data gaps, etc. that can help the Agency develop more refined and accurate burden estimates.

Background: The Children's Health Protection Advisory Committee is chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463. EPA established this Committee in 1997 to provide independent advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of environmental issues affecting children's health.

The EPA Administrator appoints members for three-year terms with a cap on service at six years. The Committee meets 2-3 times annually and the average workload is approximately 10 to 15 hours per month. EPA provides reimbursement for travel and other incidental expenses associated with official government business, but members must be able to cover expenses prior to reimbursement.

The CHPAC is looking for representatives from industry; tribal, state, county and local government; school systems; academia; health care providers (including pediatricians, obstetric professionals, occupational medicine practitioners and community nurses); and non-governmental organizations.

The types of experience necessary includes children's environmental health and development; epidemiology and toxicology; role of environmental chemicals in childhood diseases such as asthma, obesity and ADHD; prenatal environmental exposures and adverse health outcomes; specific environmental exposures to chemicals such as lead, mercury and other heavy metals that adversely impact children's health; tribal children's environmental health; children's environmental health disparities; research; air quality (indoor and outdoor); water quality; EPA regulation development; risk assessment; exposure assessment; science policy; public health information tracking; and outreach and risk communication.

—The background and experience that would contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the committee ( e.g., geographic, economic, social, cultural, racial, ethnicity, educational, and other considerations).

—Ability to volunteer time to attend meetings 2-3 times a year in Washington DC, participate in teleconference meetings, develop recommendations to the Administrator, and prepare reports and advice letters.

Nominations must include:

• Brief statement describing the nominee's interest in serving on the CHPAC.

• Short biography (no more than one page) describing the professional and educational qualifications, including a list of relevant activities, and any current or previous service on federal advisory committees.

• Statement about the perspective the nominee brings to the committee.

• Current contact information for the nominee, including name, organization (and position within that organization), business address, email address, and telephone number.

• Candidates may self-nominate; one letter of support is welcome.

Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521, federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. “Collection of information” means agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. 44 U.S.C. 3502(3); 5 CFR 1320.3(c). As required by section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the FTC is providing this opportunity for public comment before requesting that OMB extend the existing PRA clearance for the HSR Rules and Notification and Report Form, 16 CFR parts 801-803 (OMB Control Number 3084-0005).

Section 7A of the Clayton Act (“Act”), 15 U.S.C. 18a, as amended by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, Public Law 94-435, 90 Stat. 1390, requires all persons contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions to file notification with the Commission and the Assistant Attorney General and to wait a designated period of time before consummating such transactions. Congress empowered the Commission, with the concurrence of the Assistant Attorney General, to require “that the notification . . . be in such form and contain such documentary material and information . . . as is necessary and appropriate” to enable the agencies “to determine whether such acquisitions may, if consummated, violate the antitrust laws.” 15 U.S.C. 18a(d). Congress similarly granted rulemaking authority to, inter alia, “prescribe such other rules as may be necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of this section.” Id.

Pursuant to that section, the Commission, with the concurrence of the Assistant Attorney General, developed the HSR Rules and the corresponding Notification and Report Form. The following discussion presents the FTC's PRA burden analysis regarding completion of the Notification and Report Form. Under the HSR Rules, two types of filings are made: Non-index and index. “Index” filings pertain to banking transactions which Clayton Act Sections 7A(c)(6) and (c)(8) exempt from the requirements of the premerger notification program because they are subject to the approval of other agencies, but only if copies of the information submitted to these other agencies are also submitted to the FTC. Non-exempt transactions which are filed in accordance with HSR Rules are referred to as “non-index” filings.

The following burden estimates are primarily based on FTC data concerning the number of HSR filings and staff's informal consultations with leading HSR counsel for outside parties.

In fiscal year 2018, there were 4,188 non-index filings. Based on an average annual increase in filings of 5.3% in fiscal years 2016-2018, FTC staff projects a total of 4,410 non-index filings in fiscal year 2019. For fiscal years 2020-2022, the time-period for which PRA clearance will be requested from OMB, the FTC projects an average of 4,894 non-index filings per year, assuming a 5.3% increase each year. For index filings, staff bases its estimate on a rough average of five filings per year over that same interval (fiscal years 2016-2018) to project a total of five index filings for fiscal year 2019, as well as for fiscal years 2020-2022. Retaining prior assumptions, FTC staff estimates that non-index filings require, on average, approximately 37 hours per filing and that index filings require an average of two hours per filing. 1

On rare occasions, a transaction for which the HSR filing is automatically withdrawn during the merger review process (due to the parties' Securities and Exchange Commission filing indicating that the transaction has been terminated) could be subsequently restarted. Based on experience to date, this would occur approximately once every fifteen years, i.e., a historical frequency of 0.067 transactions per year. FTC staff believes that this new filing would require the same work and diligence as any new non-index filing. Assuming, then, an average of 37 hours for one transaction, when applied to a historical frequency of 0.067, this amounts to an annual average of three hours, rounded up, for a withdrawn transaction later restarted.

Thus, the total estimated hours burden is 181,091 hours [(4,894 non-index filings × 37 hours/each) + (three index filings × two hours/each) + (one withdrawn transaction later restarted × three hours))].

Using the burden hours (181,091) estimated above and applying an estimated average of $460/hour for executive and/or attorney compensation, staff estimates that the total labor cost associated with the HSR Rules and the Notification and Report Form is approximately $83,301,860.

The applicable requirements impose minimal start-up costs, as businesses subject to the HSR Rules generally have or obtain necessary equipment for other business purposes. Staff believes that the above requirements necessitate ongoing, regular training so that covered entities stay current and have a clear understanding of federal mandates, but such training would be subsumed within the ordinary training that employees receive.

The Patient Safety Act, 42 U.S.C. 299b-21 to 299b-26, and the related Patient Safety Rule, 42 CFR part 3, published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70732-70814, establish a framework by which individuals and entities that meet the definition of provider in the Patient Safety Rule may voluntarily report information to PSOs listed by AHRQ, on a privileged and confidential basis, for the aggregation and analysis of patient safety events.

The Patient Safety Act authorizes the listing of PSOs, which are entities or component organizations whose mission and primary activity are to conduct activities to improve patient safety and the quality of health care delivery.

HHS issued the Patient Safety Rule to implement the Patient Safety Act. AHRQ administers the provisions of the Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety Rule relating to the listing and operation of PSOs. The Patient Safety Rule authorizes AHRQ to list as a PSO an entity that attests that it meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for listing. A PSO can be “delisted” if it is found to no longer meet the requirements of the Patient Safety Act and Patient Safety Rule, when a PSO chooses to voluntarily relinquish its status as a PSO for any reason, or when a PSO's listing expires. Section 3.108(d) of the Patient Safety Rule requires AHRQ to provide public notice when it removes an organization from the list of PSOs.

AHRQ accepted requests to voluntarily relinquish their PSO status from Healthcare Quality Support, LLC (P0050); Premier Patient Safety Organization (P0054), a component entity of the Premier Incorporated; QA STATS LLC (P0140); Securus Medica, LLC (P0053); Vascular Study Group Patient Safety Organization, LLC (P0080), a component entity of the M2S, Inc.; and Washington State Patient Safety Organization PSO (P0060), a component entity of the Washington State Hospital Association. Accordingly, Healthcare Quality Support, LLC (P0050—February 9, 2011), Premier Patient Safety Organization (P0054—February 9, 2011), QA STATS LLC (P0140—January 7, 2015), Securus Medica, LLC (P0053—March 2, 2011), Vascular Study Group Patient Safety Organization, LLC (P0080—February 15, 2011) and Washington State Patient Safety Organization (P0060—March 2, 2011) PSOs, were delisted effective at 12:00 Midnight ET (2400) on the dates noted above. Notices of these delistings were not previously published in the Federal Register .

Healthcare Quality Support, LLC (P0050), Premier Patient Safety Organization (P0054), QA STATS LLC (P0140), Securus Medica, LLC (P0053), Vascular Study Group Patient Safety Organization, LLC (P0080) and Washington State Patient Safety Organization (P0060) had patient safety work product (PSWP) in their possession. The PSOs were required to meet the requirements of section 3.108(c)(2)(i) of the Patient Safety Rule regarding notification to providers that have reported to the PSO and of section 3.108(c)(2)(ii) regarding disposition of PSWP consistent with section 3.108(b)(3). According to section 3.108(b)(3) of the Patient Safety Rule, the PSO had 90 days from the effective date of delisting and revocation to complete the disposition of PSWP that was currently in the PSOs' possession.

More information on PSOs can be obtained through AHRQ's PSO website at http://www.pso.ahrq.gov.

Background on Common Formats Development

The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C. 299b-21 to 299b-26, (Patient Safety Act) and the related Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42 CFR part 3 (Patient Safety Rule), published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70731-70814, provide for the formation of Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs), which collect, and analyze confidential and privileged information regarding the quality and safety of health care delivery. The collection of patient safety work product allows the aggregation of data that help to identify and address underlying causal factors of patient safety and quality issues.

Aggregation of these data enables PSOs and others to identify and address underlying causal factors of patient safety and quality issues. The Patient Safety Act provides for the development of standardized reporting formats using common language and definitions to ensure that health care quality and patient safety data collected by PSOs and other entities are comparable. The Common Formats facilitate aggregation of comparable data at local, PSO, regional and national levels. In addition, the formats are intended to enhance the reporting of information that is standardized both clinically and electronically.

AHRQ has developed Common Formats for three settings of care—acute care hospitals, nursing homes, and community pharmacies—for use by health care providers and PSOs. AHRQ-listed PSOs are required to collect patient safety work product in a standardized manner to the extent practical and appropriate; this is a requirement the PSO can meet by collecting such information using Common Formats. Additionally, providers and other organizations not working with an AHRQ-listed PSO can use the Common Formats in their work to improve quality and safety; however, they cannot benefit from the federal confidentiality and privilege protections of the Patient Safety Act.

Since February 2005, AHRQ has convened the Federal Patient Safety Work Group (PSWG) to assist AHRQ in developing and maintaining the Common Formats. The PSWG includes major health agencies within HHS as well as the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The PSWG helps assure the consistency of definitions/formats with those of relevant government agencies. In addition, AHRQ has solicited comments from the private and public sectors regarding proposed versions of the Common Formats through a contract, since 2008, with the National Quality Forum (NQF), which is a non-profit organization focused on health care quality. After receiving comments, the NQF solicits review of the formats by its Common Formats Expert Panel. Subsequently, NQF provides this input to AHRQ who then uses it to refine the Common Formats.

The Common Formats Nursing Home Version 1.0 include five modules: Generic, falls, medication, pressure injury and device. AHRQ developed other elements of the Common Formats for Event Reporting—Nursing Homes including aggregate reports, data elements and algorithims, and technical specifications. All elements of the Common Formats for Event Reporting—Nursing Home will be posted at the PSOPPC website: https://www.psoppc.org/psoppc_web.

AHRQ is specifically interested in receiving feedback in order to guide the improvement of the formats. Information on how to comment on the Common Formats for Nursing Home Version 1.0 is available at: http://www.qualityforum.org/Project_Pages/Common_Formats_for_Patient_Safety_Data.aspx.

Additional information about the Common Formats can be obtained through AHRQ's PSO website: https://pso.ahrq.gov/.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term “collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment:

1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Part C Medicare Advantage Reporting Requirements and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 422.516(a); Use: Section 1852(m) of the Social Security Act (the Act) and CMS regulations at 42 CFR 422.135 allow Medicare Advantage (MA) plans the ability to provide “additional telehealth benefits” to enrollees starting in plan year 2020 and treat them as basic benefits. MA additional telehealth benefits are limited to services for which benefits are available under Medicare Part B but which are not payable under section 1834(m) of the Act. In addition, MA additional telehealth benefits are services that been identified by the MA plan for the applicable year as clinically appropriate to furnish through electronic information and telecommunications technology (or “electronic exchange”) when the physician (as defined in section 1861(r) of the Act) or practitioner (as defined in section 1842(b)(18)(C) of the Act) providing the service is not in the same location as the enrollee. Per § 422.135(d), MA plans may only furnish MA additional telehealth benefits using contracted providers.

The changes for the 2020 Reporting Requirements will require plans to report Telehealth benefits. The data collected in this measure will provide CMS with a better understanding of the number of organizations utilizing Telehealth per contract and to also capture those specialties used for both in-person and Telehealth. This data will allow CMS to improve its policy and process surrounding Telehealth. In addition, the specialist and facility data we are collecting aligns with some of the provider and facility specialty types that organizations are required to include in their networks and to submit on their HSD tables in the Network Management Module in Health Plan Management System. Form Number: CMS-10261 (OMB control number 0938-1054); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 594; Total Annual Responses: 4,752; Total Annual Hours: 187,926. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Mark Smith at 410-786-8015.)

2. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medical Necessity and Contract Amendments Under Mental Health Parity; Use: Upon request, regulated entities must provide a medical necessity disclosure. Receiving this information will enable potential and current enrollees to make more educated decisions given the choices available to them through their plans and may result in better treatment of their mental health or substance use disorder (MH/SUD) conditions. States use the information collected and reported as part of its contracting process with managed care entities, as well as its compliance oversight role. In states where a Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO) is responsible for providing the full scope of medical/surgical and MH/SUD services to beneficiaries, the state will review the parity analysis provided by the MCO to confirm that the MCO benefits are in compliance. CMS uses the information collected and reported in an oversight role of State Medicaid managed care programs. Form Number: CMS-10556 (OMB control number: 0938-1280); Frequency: Once and occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals and households, the Private sector, and State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 47,468,596; Total Annual Responses: 285,444; Total Annual Hours: 48,057. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Juliet Kuhn at 410-786-2480.)

3. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: External Quality Review (EQR) of Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and Supporting Regulations; Use: State agencies must provide to the external quality review organization (EQRO) information obtained through methods consistent with the protocols specified by CMS. This information is used by the EQRO to determine the quality of care furnished by an MCO. Since the EQR results are made available to the general public, this allows Medicaid/CHIP enrollees and potential enrollees to make informed choices regarding the selection of their providers. It also allows advocacy organizations, researchers, and other interested parties access to information on the quality of care provided to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP MCOs. States use the information during their oversight of these organizations. Form Number: CMS-R-305 (OMB control number 0938-0786); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 629; Total Annual Responses: 4,869; Total Annual Hours: 426,492. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Jennifer Sheer at 410-786-1769.)

4. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol; Use: Section 6409 of the ACA requires the Secretary to establish a voluntary self-disclosure process that allows providers of services and suppliers to self-disclose actual or potential violations of section 1877 of the Act. In addition, section 6409(b) of the ACA gives the Secretary authority to reduce the amounts due and owing for the violations. To determine the nature and extent of the noncompliance and the appropriate amount by which an overpayment may be reduced, the Secretary must collect relevant information regarding the arrangements and financial relationships at issue from disclosing parties. The Secretary may also collect supporting documentation, such as contracts, leases, communications, invoices, or other documents bearing on the actual or potential violation(s). Most of the information and documentation required for submission to CMS in accordance with the SRDP is information that health care providers of services and suppliers keep as part of customary and usual business practices. Form Number: CMS-10328 (OMB control number: 0938-1106); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector (business or other for-profits, not-for-profit institutions); Number of Respondents: 100; Total Annual Responses: 100; Total Annual Hours: 5,000. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Matthew Edgar at 410-786-0698.)

5. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Hospital Wage Index Occupational Mix Survey; Use: Section 304(c) of Public Law 106-554 mandates an occupational mix adjustment to the wage index, requiring the collection of data every 3 years on the occupational mix of employees for each short-term, acute care hospital participating in the Medicare program. The proposed data collection that is included in this submission complies with this statutory requirement. The purpose of the occupational mix adjustment is to control for the effect of hospitals' employment choices on the wage index. For example, hospitals may choose to employ different combinations of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nursing aides, and medical assistants for the purpose of providing nursing care to their patients. The varying labor costs associated with these choices reflect hospital management decisions rather than geographic differences in the costs of labor. Form Number: CMS-10079 (OMB control number: 0938-0907); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Business or Other for-Profits, Not-for-Profit Institutions; Number of Respondents: 3,300; Total Annual Responses: 3,300; Total Annual Hours: 1,584,000. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Tehila Lipschutz at 410-786-1344.)

Description: The final rule within 45 CFR part 309, published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2004, contains a regulatory reporting requirement that, in order to receive funding for a Tribal IV-D program a Tribe or Tribal organization must submit a plan describing how the Tribe or Tribal organization meets or plans to meet the objectives of section 455(f) of the Social Security Act, including establishing paternity; establishing, modifying, and enforcing support orders; and locating noncustodial parents. The plan is required for all Tribes requesting funding; however, once a Tribe has met the requirements to operate a comprehensive program, a new plan is not required annually unless a Tribe makes changes to its title IV-D program. If a Tribe or Tribal organization intends to make any substantial or material changes, a Tribal IV-D plan amendment must be submitted for approval. Tribes and Tribal organizations must have an approved plan and submit any required plan amendments in order to receive funding to operate a Tribal IV-D program. This paperwork collection activity is set to expire in March 2020.

Respondents: Tribes and Tribal Organizations.

Comments: The Department specifically requests comments on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted within 60 days of this publication.

I. Background

The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension an applicant may receive.

A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A testing phase and an approval phase. For medical devices, the testing phase begins with a clinical investigation of the device and runs until the approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial submission of an application to market the device and continues until permission to market the device is granted. Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward the actual amount of extension that the Director of USPTO may award (half the testing phase must be subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review period for a medical device will include all of the testing phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(3)(B).

FDA has approved for marketing the medical device EDWARDS PERICARDIAL AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS. EDWARDS PERICARDIAL AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS MODEL 11000A and MODEL 11500A are indicated for the replacement of native or prosthetic aortic heart valves. Subsequent to this approval, the USPTO received patent term restoration applications for EDWARDS PERICARDIAL AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS MODEL 11000A and MODEL 11500A (U.S. Patent Nos. 7,972,376; 8,007,992; 8,357,387; and 9,029,418) from Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, and the USPTO requested FDA's assistance in determining the patents' eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated April 5, 2018, FDA advised the USPTO that this medical device had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of EDWARDS PERICARDIAL AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the product. Thereafter, the USPTO requested that FDA determine the product's regulatory review period.

FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for EDWARDS PERICARDIAL AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS is 1,858 days. Of this time, 1,491 days occurred during the testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 367 days occurred during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the following dates:

1. The date an exemption for this device, under section 520(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(g)), became effective: May 30, 2012. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the date the investigational device exemption (IDE) for human tests to begin, as required under section 520(g) of the FD&C Act, became effective May 30, 2012.

2. The date an application was initially submitted with respect to the device under section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e): June 28, 2016. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the premarket approval application (PMA) for EDWARDS PERICARDIAL AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS (PMA P150048) was initially submitted June 28, 2016.

3. The date the application was approved: June 29, 2017. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that PMA P150048 was approved on June 29, 2017.

This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its applications for patent extension, this applicant seeks 572 days, 992 days, or 1,111 days of patent term extension.

Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under 21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES ). Furthermore, as specified in § 60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period. To meet its burden, the petition must comply with all the requirements of § 60.30, including but not limited to: must be timely (see DATES ), must be filed in accordance with § 10.20, must contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation, and must certify that a true and complete copy of the petition has been served upon the patent applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.

Submit petitions electronically to https://www.regulations.gov at Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Submit written petitions (two copies are required) to the Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on June 17, 2019, Vol. 84, No. 116 page 28065 (84 FR 28065) and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment.

The Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below.

Proposed Collection Title: Assurance (Interinstitutional, Foreign, and Domestic) and Annual Report, OMB #0925-NEW, Office of the Director (OD), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection: The Office of Laboratory Welfare (OLAW) is responsible for the implementation, general administration, and interpretation of the Public Health Service (PHS) Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Policy) as codified in 42 CFR 52.8. The PHS Policy implements the Health Research Extension Act (HREA) of 1985 (Pub. L. 99-158 as codified in 42 U.S.C. 289d). The PHS Policy requires entities that conduct research involving vertebrate animals using PHS funds to have an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), provide assurance that requirements of the Policy are met, and submit an annual report. An institution's animal care and use program is described in the Animal Welfare Assurance (Assurance) document and sets forth institutional compliance with PHS Policy. The purpose of the Assurance (Interinstitutional, Foreign, and Domestic) and Annual Report is to provide OLAW with documentation to satisfy the requirements of the HREA, illustrate institutional adherence to PHS Policy, and enable OLAW to carry out its mission to ensure the humane care and use of animals in PHS-supported research, testing, and training, thereby contributing to the quality of PHS-supported activities.

OMB approval is requested for 3 years. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 8,140.

NAVTEX is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) which has been incorporated into the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) treaty to which the U.S. is a party. The U.S. Coast Guard operates this system nationwide. For more information on MF NAVTEX in the U.S., please see the USCG Navigation Center website at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=NAVTEX.

The U.S. Coast Guard is proposing to cease operating MF NAVTEX and, instead making this information available via IMO recognized satellite services in waters under U.S. responsibility. The current MF NAVTEX equipment is in dire need of replacement. The equipment is antiquated and essential replacement parts are difficult to find and expensive, placing overall operation of MF NATEX at risk. Any approved GMDSS satellite terminal will be able to receive this information. We would like comments on this proposal to make the NAVTEX information available over satellite.

We believe the transition from terrestrial broadcast to satellite will provide for more reliable delivery of NAVTEX information and allow better, more cost-effective products in the future. We also believe this change will have a low impact on the maritime public as satellite receivers have become more prevalent onboard vessels. However, we would like your comments on how you would be affected if we did provide the NAVTEX information via satellite, particularly if you use MF NAVTEX and do not currently have a GMDSS satellite terminal onboard your vessel. We would also like your comments on what types of Maritime Safety Information products you would like to see added in the future if we did provide the NAVTEX information via satellite.

Before terminating the broadcast, we will consider comments from the public. After considering any comments received, the Coast Guard will issue a notice in the Federal Register indicating how the matter will be resolved.

This notice is issued under the authority of 14 U.S.C. 93(a)(16) and 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

The DHS Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of State for the Home Office of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Home Secretary), is establishing the TAIR to serve as a forum in which DHS; the U.K. Home Office; private sector companies; and stakeholders in the aviation sector discuss opportunities for enhanced coordination and furtherance of increased resiliency of the transatlantic aviation security environment.

Some of the issues to be reviewed by the TAIR will require access to, and discussion of, non-public classified information and other non-public law enforcement sensitive information. These matters include discussions on the current threat environment and potential enhancements to security technologies policy interventions, processes and procedures in aviation and overseas security development.

In recognition of the classified material utilized in TAIR activities and discussions, the DHS Secretary hereby exempts the TAIR from Public Law 92-463 (The Federal Advisory Committee Act, or “FACA”), 5 U.S.C. App).

The Department recognizes the importance of FACA. FACA, when applicable, generally requires advisory committees to meet in open session and make publicly available associated written materials. It also requires a 15-day notice before any meeting may be closed to public attendance.

These requirements prevent the Department from convening on short notice a committee to discuss the sensitive and classified information surrounding the review of transatlantic aviation security threats in an appropriate setting. FACA contains a number of exceptions to its general disclosure rules, but the applicability of those exceptions are not sufficient to address the proper handling of classified material and the protection of classified information in this unique context. The information that will be discussed and reviewed by this committee will be deliberative in nature and will involve law enforcement sensitive, sensitive security and or classified national security information that, if discussed in public, would result in the unauthorized disclosure of information that could reasonably be expected to result in threats to national security. The release of this information would enable criminals and enemies to use that information to circumvent the law and could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of individuals. Furthermore, some of the participants of the TAIR subgroups will be intelligence community (IC) personnel who cannot publicly disclose their identities or IC affiliations. Making the TAIR open to the public presents a significant security concern for revealing the identity and capabilities of the IC personnel.

Section 871 of the Homeland Security Act provides the Secretary of Homeland Security with the authority to establish advisory committees and exempt them from the FACA—6 U.S.C. 451(a). This authority allows the Department to freely and completely review, in a closed environment, the current threat environment in aviation, to discuss potential vulnerabilities, and to provide the Department with information and recommendations that could not otherwise be discussed in an open environment.

The Department respects the principles of open government and has judiciously exercised the authority Congress provided in Section 871. Given that the use of this authority will allow the Department to fully and completely review the issues and make recommendations surrounding transatlantic aviation security as described above, the Department is invoking that authority in the creation of the TAIR.

Collaboration among the TAIR committee members must involve many activities to include: Planning, coordination, protective security implementation, operational activities related to protective service security measures, as well as vulnerabilities, protective measures, best practices, and lessons learned. An effective committee must be able to have ongoing, immediate, and multi-directional communication and coordination under highly exigent circumstances. In furtherance of DHS' mission to protect the homeland, the public interest requires the establishment of the TAIR under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 451. Members of the TAIR will engage and collaborate on matters and issues affecting transatlantic aviation security including global security improvement, information sharing, insider threat and cybersecurity and may provide policy advice and recommendations on such matters. The TAIR will interact with government officials from the U.S. and the U.K. and representatives from the private sector companies and stakeholders in the aviation sector. The TAIR has no authority to establish Federal policy or otherwise undertake inherently governmental functions. Exemption from the FACA (Pub. L. 92-463): In recognition of the highlysensitive, and often confidential or classified nature of the subject matter involved in the activities of the TAIR, under the authority of section 871 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 451), the TAIR is hereby deemed exempt from the requirements of Public Law 92-463 (5 U.S.C. App.).

Membership: The TAIR is composed of members who are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the DHS Secretary and the Home Secretary, as appropriate. Term length will be determined by the TAIR co-chairs. Members will minimally consist of government officials from the United States and the United Kingdom, and private sector transatlantic aviation industry representatives in order to leverage each other's subject matter expertise. Non-governmental members (or representative members) who serve on the TAIR or subgroups are appointed to express the viewpoint of non-governmental entities, recognizable groups, or stakeholders that have interests in the transatlantic aviation security subject matter. They will not serve as Special Government Employees (SGE), as defined in Title 18, United States Code, section 202(a).

TAIR may meet as whole or in any combination of subgroups that is most conducive to the effective conduct of its activities.

Duration: The TAIR is expected to continue operating until such time as the DHS Secretary or the Home Secretary decide to terminate TAIR. TAIR may continue beyond the initial two years from the date of its establishment whenever the DHS Secretary determines in writing to extend the TAIR, consistent with section 871(b) of The Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6. U.S.C. 451(b).

I. Background

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal mines.

Under Section 313 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 873, any explosives used in underground coal mines must be permissible. The Mine Act also provides that, under safeguards prescribed by the Secretary, a mine operator may permit the firing of more than 20 shots and the use of nonpermissible explosives in sinking shafts and slopes from the surface in rock. Title 30 CFR 75.1321 outlines the procedures by which a permit may be issued for the firing of more than 20 boreholes and/or the use of nonpermissible shot-firing units in underground coal mines. In those instances in which there is a misfire of explosives, section 75.1327 requires that a qualified person post each accessible entrance to the affected area with a warning to prohibit entry. Section 77.1909-1 outlines the procedures by which a coal mine operator may apply for a permit to use nonpermissible explosives and/or shot-firing units in the blasting of rock while sinking shafts or slopes for underground coal mines.

MSHA is soliciting comments concerning the proposed information collection related to Application for a Permit to Fire More than 20 Boreholes and/or for the use of Nonpermissible Blasting Units, Explosives, and Shot-firing Units; Posting Notices of Misfires. MSHA is particularly interested in comments that:

• Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information has practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

• Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

The information collection request will be available on http://www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions the commenter against providing any information in the submission that should not be publicly disclosed. Full comments, including personal information provided, will be made available on www.regulations.gov and www.reginfo.gov.
