Background

This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 16, 2020. 1 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

The products covered by this investigation are utility scale wind towers from Malaysia. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I to this notice.

In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce's regulations, 3 we set aside a period of time in the Initiation Notice for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage ( i.e., scope). 4 We did not receive comments concerning the scope of the investigation of wind towers as it appeared in the Initiation Notice.

Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export price in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773(e) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist:

Commerce preliminarily determines that CS Wind has not made sales of wind towers at LTFV. Further, because CS Wind is the only party for which an estimated weighted-average dumping margin has been calculated for this preliminary determination, Commerce preliminarily determines that wind towers from Malaysia have not been sold in the United States at LTFV during the POI.

Consistent with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce has not calculated an estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters because it has not made an affirmative preliminary determination of sales at LTFV.

Because Commerce has made a negative preliminary determination of sales at LTFV with regard to subject merchandise, Commerce will not direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation or to require a cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties for entries of wind towers from Malaysia.

Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on-site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification.

Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Interested parties will be notified of the timeline for the submission of such case briefs and written comments at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs. 6 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation 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. Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for service documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice. 7

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.

Section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. On May 17, 2021, the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner) requested that Commerce postpone the final determination. 8 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act, because the preliminary determination is negative, and the petitioner has requested the postponement of the final determination, Commerce is postponing the final determination. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination by no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination, pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act.

In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine 75 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.

This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c).

This preliminary determination is made in accordance with section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 16, 2020. 1 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

The products covered by this investigation are utility scale wind towers from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I to this notice.

In accordance with the Preamble to Commerce's regulations, 3 we set aside a period of time in the Initiation Notice for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage ( i.e., scope). 4 We did not receive comments concerning the scope of the investigation of wind towers as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Therefore, Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice.

Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to Vestas Wind Technology India Private Limited (Vestas India) in this investigation because Vestas India failed to file a complete response to Commerce's supplemental section D questionnaire by the established deadline. As a result, for the reasons discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce is unable to rely on Vestas India's reported cost data to calculate a margin. Commerce also preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available to assign a dumping margin to the companies which did not provide timely responses to the quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaires during the respondent selection process. 5 Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily determining that Vestas India and the companies which did not provide timely responses to the Q&V questionnaire each failed to cooperate to the best of its ability to comply with Commerce's requests for information. Therefore, Commerce is using an adverse inference when selecting from among the facts otherwise available when determining the preliminary margins assigned to these companies, in accordance with section 776(b) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act.

Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis, or determined based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers or exporters. Commerce preliminarily determined the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the individually-examined respondent entirely under section 776 of the Act.

In the Petition, the petitioner  6 provided only one dumping margin, which was based on a price-to-constructed-value comparison. 7 Therefore, in the absence of another weighted-average dumping margin on the record of this investigation, we are preliminarily assigning the sole dumping margin in the Initiation Notice ( i.e., 54.03 percent) as the all-others rate. 8

Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist:

In accordance with section 773(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register .

To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of export subsidies determined in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, Commerce has made a preliminary affirmative determination for an export subsidy adjustment. Commerce has offset the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate rate. Any such adjusted rates may be found in the chart of estimated weighted-average dumping margins in the “Preliminary Determination” section above.

Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated in this preliminary determination unadjusted for export subsidies at the time the CVD provisional measures expire.

These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with a preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary determination in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily determined Vestas India's dumping margin in this investigation based on AFA, in accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to disclose.

Because Vestas India did not act to the best of its ability to provide information Commerce requested and, as a result, we preliminarily determine that Vestas India was uncooperative, we will not conduct verification.

Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination no later than 30 days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination. 10 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs. 11 Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for service of documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice. 12 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation 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.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, and a list of the issues to be discussed. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing. 13

Section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1) provide that Commerce will issue the final determination within 75 days after the date of its preliminary determination. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 75 days after the signature date of this preliminary determination.

In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.

This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c).

On February 2, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy for the period February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021. 1 On February 26, 2021, Core Pipe Products, Inc. and Taylor Forge Stainless, Inc. (the petitioners) timely requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order with respect to Filmag Italia, SpA (Filmag). 2 This request was in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b). Commerce received no other requests for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order for the POR.

On April 1, 2021, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order covering the POR with respect to Filmag. 3 On April 16, 2021, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for administrative review with respect to Filmag. 4

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioners withdrew their request for review within 90 days of the publication date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding in its entirety the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy covering the period February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021.

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy during the POR. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register .

This notice serves as a final 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 doubled antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C.

The regulations at 50 CFR part 660, subpart J describe the requirements for an EM program for the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program. Vessels participating in the EM program may use EM systems (cameras and associated sensors) in lieu of human observers to meet the requirements of the Catch Share Program for 100-percent at-sea monitoring. Interested vessel owners must submit an application to NMFS, including a VMP that describes how fishing operations on the vessel will be conducted and how the EM system and associated equipment will be configured to effectively monitor fishing activities and document any discards. Required components of the VMP are described in the Federal regulations at 50 CFR 660.604(e)(3)(iii). NMFS will review the VMP to ensure that the equipment installed and the proposed operations of the vessel would effectively monitor vessel operations. NMFS has created VMP Guidelines to provide vessel owners additional information on what NMFS is looking for in a VMP and describes best practices and suggested language to satisfy the required components. Vessel owners may propose and NMFS may consider alternative, but equivalent, methods to meet the requirements of the EM program in the VMP. Through this Federal Register notice, NMFS is notifying interested vessel owners of the availability of the VMP Guidelines on its website.

Vessel owners authorized to use EM are required to obtain an EM system from a NMFS-permitted service provider, as well as services to install and maintain the EM system, and to process, store, and report EM data to NMFS. EM service providers interested in providing EM services to participating vessels must apply to NMFS for a permit. EM service providers must develop and submit an EMSP as part of the application for an EM provider permit, and must describe in detail how the applicant will provide EM services to vessels. The required components of an EMSP are described in Federal regulations at 50 CFR 660.603(b)(1)(vii). NMFS will review EMSPs as part of the application to ensure that it meets all required components, and would effectively fulfill the EM service provider responsibilities. NMFS has created EMSP Guidelines that describe the requirements for EM service providers, the required elements of the EMSP, as well as best practices, recommendations, and other information that NMFS will use to evaluate proposed EMSPs and to evaluate the performance of EM service providers in meeting the regulations to achieve the purpose of the EM Program. Specific requirements and standards for EM data processing, reporting, and other services are contained in the EM Program Manual on NMFS's website. The EMSP need only address the regulations at 50 CFR 660.603 “Electronic monitoring provider permits and responsibilities”; additional best practices and recommendations in this document are only examples of how the EM service provider may meet the requirements. If the provider does not utilize the recommended best practices or procedures, the EM service provider should explain in its EMSP how it would otherwise meet the EM Program requirements. An EM service provider may propose alternative, but equivalent methods to any of the recommendations in this document in their EMSP, and NMFS may consider and approve those methods if they achieve the purpose of the EM program as defined at 50 CFR 660.600(b) “EM program purpose”.

Through this Federal Register notice, NMFS is notifying interested EM service providers of the availability of the EM Program Guidelines and EM Program Manual on its website, as required by 50 CFR 660.600(b).

On February 24, 2021, NMFS published a notice of availability of a draft MMP for the Monument (86 FR 11238). Presidential Proclamation 8335 (January 12, 2009, 74 FR 1557) requires the Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce to prepare management plans and promulgate implementing regulations that address specific actions necessary for the proper care and management of the Monument.

The draft MMP includes elements similar to a National Wildlife Refuge System Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP), and we are conducting the planning process for those elements in a manner similar to the CCP planning and public involvement process. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (Refuge Administration Act, 16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee), as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, requires the FWS to develop a CCP for each national wildlife refuge. This draft MMP would incorporate CCP requirements and would define each agency's management roles and responsibilities.

The draft MMP lays out the goals, objectives, and proposed management activities for the next 15 years, consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management, conservation, legal mandates, and consistent with FWS and NMFS policies. The draft MMP includes an environmental assessment to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of implementing the MMP. The FWS and NMFS would review and update the MMP at least every 15 years, in accordance with the Refuge Administration Act.

More information about the Monument's history, wildlife, and habitats is available in a Notice of Intent published on April 5, 2011 (76 FR 18773).

The FWS and NMFS seek comments on the draft MMP and EA. We will consider comments received when deciding whether to approve or modify the MMP. The original public comment period for the notice of availability of the MMP was scheduled to close on May 25, 2021. In response to a request from Mr. Ralph D.L.G. Torres, Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the FWS and NMFS are extending the comment period for 60 days, and are accepting public comments through July 26, 2021. The public may submit comments as described under ADDRESSES .

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) operates a voluntary fee-for-service seafood inspection program (Program) under the authorities of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as amended, the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, and the Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970. The regulations implementing the Program are contained in 50 CFR part 260. The program offers inspection grading and certification services, including the use of official quality grade marks which indicate that specific products have been federally inspected. Those wishing to participate in the program must request the services and submit specific compliance information. In July 1992, NMFS announced new inspection services, which were fully based on guidelines recommended by the National Academy of Sciences, known as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP).

Under the implementing regulations for the Program, fees are reviewed annually to ascertain that the hourly fees charged are adequate to recover the costs of the services rendered. Any necessary adjustments to fees are made in accordance with the requirements of 50 CFR 260.81 and notice is provided to program participants. This Federal Register notice serves to inform program participants of an adjusted fee schedule, effective June 1, 2021.

The Program will increase its fees as outlined in this notice, which will apply until notified otherwise. Fees will be charged to contract and non-contract customers requesting services as listed below. The cost of other applicable services rendered will be recovered through fee collection using the base rate of $143 per hour.

Effective June 1, 2021, per hour fees and charges for fishery products inspection services will be as follows, which represent an increase of 10% from prior levels and will apply until notified otherwise.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, NMFS prepared a DPEIS for public review and comment. The DPEIS analyzes the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of several offshore aquaculture management alternatives on the human, physical, and biological environment. NMFS and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council will consider comments received on this DPEIS to develop a final PEIS that would support a future management program for offshore aquaculture in the Pacific Islands.

To provide additional opportunities for the public to comment on the DPEIS, NMFS will hold four public meetings. At each meeting, NMFS will provide a brief presentation about the DPEIS, followed by the opportunity for the public to provide comments. Commenters will be limited to 2 minutes each. If time permits and all commenters have spoken, an opportunity for additional comments may be offered. NMFS may end any of the meetings before the 2-hour scheduled time if all comments have been received.

The public meeting dates are as follows. All times shown are in Hawaii Standard Time.

The Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-414), as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 114-182) (MEBA), amends the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA; 15 U.S.C. 2601-2629) to prohibit the sale, distribution, or transfer by Federal agencies to any other Federal agency, any state or local government agency, or any private individual or entity, of any elemental mercury under the control or jurisdiction of a Federal agency (with certain limited exceptions). MEBA also amends TSCA to prohibit the export of elemental mercury from the United States (with certain limited exceptions). Section 5 of MEBA, “Long-Term Storage” (42 U.S.C. 6939f), is codified with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA; 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. ) and directs DOE to designate a facility or facilities for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury generated within the United States. MEBA also requires DOE to assess a fee based upon the pro rata costs of long-term management and storage of elemental mercury delivered to the facility or facilities.

The primary sources of elemental mercury in the United States include elemental mercury generated as a byproduct of the gold mining process and mercury reclaimed from recycling and waste recovery activities. In addition, DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) stores approximately 1,200 metric tons of elemental mercury at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee, which was generated in support of NNSA's mission.

The 2011 Mercury Storage EIS evaluated seven candidate locations for the elemental mercury storage facility, as well as a No Action Alternative. The locations included new facility construction, use of existing facilities, or both. The candidate locations were: DOE Grand Junction Disposal site near Grand Junction, Colorado (new construction); DOE Hanford Site near Richland, Washington (new construction); Hawthorne Army Depot near Hawthorne, Nevada (existing facility); DOE Idaho National Laboratory near Idaho Falls, Idaho (new construction and existing facility); Bannister Federal Complex in Kansas City, Missouri (existing facility); DOE Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina (new construction); and the Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) site near Andrews, Texas (new construction and existing facility).

The 2013 Mercury Storage SEIS evaluated three additional alternative locations, at and in the vicinity of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico (all new construction). The 2013 Mercury Storage SEIS also updated the analysis of the alternatives presented in the 2011 Mercury Storage EIS.

For the 2011 Mercury Storage EIS and the 2013 Mercury Storage SEIS, DOE estimated that up to approximately 10,000 metric tons of elemental mercury would need to be managed and stored at the DOE facility during the 40-year period of analysis.

On December 6, 2019, DOE issued a Record of Decision (ROD) to document its designation of the WCS site near Andrews, Texas, for the management and storage of up to 6,800 metric tons of elemental mercury in leased portions of existing buildings, the Container Storage Building and Bin Storage Unit 1, at the WCS site (84 FR 66890). The ROD was supported by DOE's Supplement Analysis of the Final Long-Term Management and Storage of Elemental Mercury Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0423-SA-1), which determined that the long-term management and storage of up to 6,800 metric tons of elemental mercury in existing buildings at the WCS facility would not constitute a substantial change from the proposal evaluated in the 2011 Mercury Storage EIS and updated in the 2013 Mercury Storage SEIS. On December 23, 2019, DOE published a final rule to establish the fee for long-term management and storage of elemental mercury (84 FR 70402; Fee Rule).

Two domestic generators of elemental mercury subsequently filed complaints in United States District Court challenging, among other things, the validity of the Fee Rule and the ROD ( Coeur Rochester, Inc. v. Brouillette et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-03860-RJL (D.D.C. filed December 31, 2019); Nevada Gold Mines LLC v. Brouillette et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-00141-RJL (D.D.C filed January 17, 2020)). On August 21, 2020, DOE and Nevada Gold Mines, LLC (NGM) executed a settlement agreement intended to resolve NGM's complaint in its entirety. Consistent with that agreement, on September 3, 2020, DOE filed a motion in the District Court asking the Court to vacate and remand the Fee Rule. The District Court granted the motion to vacate and remand the Fee Rule on September 5, 2020. Given the rulemaking process required to establish a fee for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury, and the expiration of DOE's current lease with WCS in June 2021, DOE also agreed in the settlement with NGM to withdraw the designation of WCS pursuant to MEBA Section 5(a)(1) as a facility of DOE for the purpose of long-term management and storage of elemental mercury. DOE subsequently withdrew the designation of WCS under MEBA in an amended ROD on October 6, 2020 (85 FR 63105). The District Court granted a joint stipulation to dismiss the litigation from Coeur Rochester, Inc. on April 23, 2021.

DOE must designate a facility for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury generated within the United States, as required by MEBA. MEBA also requires DOE to assess and collect a fee to cover certain costs of long-term management and storage of elemental mercury.

MEBA establishes that by January 1, 2019, a DOE-designated facility shall be operational and accept custody, for the purpose of long-term management and storage, of elemental mercury generated within the United States. Fiscal Year 2021 Appropriations Act Explanatory Statements for Division D, Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies, includes the following statement, “The Department [DOE] is directed to finalize the Fee Rule for mercury storage as expeditiously as possible.”

DOE proposes to designate one or more facilities for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury in accordance with MEBA. Facilities must comply with applicable requirements of Section 5(d) of MEBA, “Management Standards for a Facility,” including the requirements of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended by RCRA, and other state-specific permitting requirements. Consistent with the Supplement Analysis prepared in 2019 but updated to account for accumulation of elemental mercury since then, the SEIS-II will evaluate the potential environmental impacts of an estimated inventory of up to 7,000 metric tons of elemental mercury that could require management and storage during the 40-year period of analysis.

After completion of DOE's Proposed Action, DOE would establish the fee for long-term management and storage of elemental mercury through rulemaking conducted pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq. ). DOE would evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the rulemaking in accordance with NEPA implementing procedures at 10 CFR 1021.213.

The 2011 Mercury Storage EIS and the 2013 Mercury Storage SEIS evaluated both new construction and the designation of existing facilities for management and storage of elemental mercury. In the SEIS-II, DOE's range of reasonable alternatives includes existing facilities that could be designated with only minor modifications to meet the permitting requirements for elemental mercury storage. Construction of new facilities would further negatively impact the schedule for DOE's receipt of elemental mercury, which was required by MEBA to begin acceptance by January 2019.

Of the four existing facilities evaluated in the 2011 Mercury Storage EIS, two remain as reasonable alternatives. Since 2011, portions of the Bannister Federal Complex in Kansas City have been transferred from DOE to a private entity and rezoned as an urban redevelopment district. Therefore, this facility is no longer considered a reasonable alternative for the storage of elemental mercury. Additionally, the planning basis for the existing facilities at the Idaho National Laboratory Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC) has changed and those facilities are no longer considered a reasonable alternative for storage of elemental mercury. DOE is planning to demolish these facilities and close the RWMC once its current radioactive waste mission is completed. Therefore, the SEIS-II will update the analysis for the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada and the WCS site in Texas.

In addition to the two sites identified previously, the SEIS-II will also evaluate other facilities that maintain or would be capable of maintaining a RCRA Part B permit for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury. DOE used four methods to identify these additional facilities: (1) DOE contacted commercial facilities that had previously certified to DOE that they meet the requirements to accept and store elemental mercury at least until the DOE-designated facility opens ( https://www.energy.gov/em/downloads/permitted-mercury-storage-facility-notifications ); (2) on December 3, 2020, DOE issued basic ordering agreements to companies to conduct nationwide waste management services, including ancillary services such as management and storage of elemental mercury; (3) on October 14, 2020, DOE issued a Sources Sought Synopsis/Request for Information to identify potential offerors to provide leased space and associated services for the management and storage of elemental mercury; and (4) DOE is re-evaluating existing facilities on DOE property that could be repurposed for management and storage of elemental mercury. Past and ongoing procurement actions were used only to assist in the identification of potential reasonable alternatives for consideration in the SEIS. They do not have a bearing on what future procurement actions that DOE would take to contract for services related to long-term management and storage of elemental mercury.

Through these outreach efforts, DOE has identified the following additional reasonable alternative locations that will be evaluated in the SEIS-II (in addition to those previously evaluated as discussed previously):

• Bethlehem Apparatus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania;

• Clean Harbors (facilities in Pecatonica, Illinois; Greenbrier, Tennessee; and Tooele, Utah);

• Veolia North America in Gum Springs, Arkansas; and

• Perma-Fix Diversified Scientific Services, Inc., in Kingston, Tennessee.

As part of the SEIS-II, DOE will update the analysis of the No-Action Alternative.

DOE has tentatively identified the following resource areas for analysis in the SEIS-II. The following list is not intended to be comprehensive or to pre-determine the potential impacts to be analyzed: Land use and visual resources; geology and soils; water resources; air quality and noise; ecological resources; cultural and paleontological resources; infrastructure; waste management; occupational and public health and safety; socioeconomics; transportation; and environmental justice.

DOE will prepare the SEIS-II in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500-1508  1 and DOE NEPA implementing procedures at 10 CFR part 1021. In accordance with 10 CFR 1021.311(f), a public scoping process is not required for a DOE-issued SEIS. DOE will issue a Federal Register notice detailing the release of the draft SEIS-II, dates of one or more internet-based public hearings, and directions on submitting public comments. DOE expects to issue the Draft SEIS-II in late 2021.

That document with the original signature and date is maintained by DOE.

Introduction. On September 29, 2020, in its continuing effort to combat illegal robocalls, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) adopted a Second Report and Order which, among other things, required all voice service providers to file certifications with the Commission regarding their efforts to stem the origination of illegal robocalls on their networks. The Commission further directed the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) to establish a publicly accessible database in which such certifications would be listed, and to issue a protective order regarding the treatment of any confidential and highly confidential information included in said certifications. Consistent with this direction, the Bureau now provides information and seeks comment on adopting a Protective Order similar to that used by the Bureau in other proceedings, with modifications appropriate in the context of the Robocall Mitigation Database.

The Commission's rules require voice service providers to certify that their traffic is either signed with STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication technology or subject to a robocall mitigation program. Voice service providers that certify that some or all of their traffic is subject to a robocall mitigation program are also required to detail in their certifications the reasonable steps they have taken to avoid originating illegal robocall traffic. In establishing this public database, the Commission stated its goals were to promote transparency and to allow and encourage industry to self-police by making robocall mitigation plans visible to other voice service providers and the public at large. A party could, for example, review a robocall mitigation plan to determine whether it wishes to do business with the voice service provider or to report insufficient robocall mitigation efforts to the Commission. At the same time, recognizing the potential sensitivity of this information, the Commission directed the Bureau to adopt a Protective Order governing submission of and access to confidential and highly confidential information included with the certifications. We seek comment below on the procedures for submitting and accessing confidential and highly confidential information submitted in conjunction with this proceeding.

Submission of Information. We propose to adopt in the Protective Order a process for submitting confidential information described in the Public Notice announcing the Robocall Mitigation Database. In that Public Notice, we explained that filers are “able to request that any materials or information submitted to the Commission in their certifications be withheld from public inspection.” We further explained that, to submit a confidential filing, a voice service provider “must first submit a confidentiality request in WC Docket No 17-97 through the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS)” and “will then be able to submit redacted ( i.e., public) and unredacted ( i.e., non-public) copies of its robocall mitigation program description via the Commission's portal.” Having considered the issue further, we propose formalizing this approach in the Protective Order. Rather than ask for redacted copies of confidential and highly confidential documents to be filed through the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), our proposed Protective Order would direct voice service providers to file a request for confidentiality in ECFS and then submit any redacted copies of documents directly through the portal accompanying the database. This proposed Protective Order would also direct providers to file unredacted copies of confidential and highly confidential documents through the database's portal, which differs from the typical Protective Order process of submitting these documents to the Secretary's Office and designated Bureau staff. We seek comment on these proposals and whether we should modify the process described in the earlier Public Notice.

Access to Information. We seek comment on which parties should and should not ultimately be granted access to the confidential and highly confidential information included by voice service providers in their certifications. We propose only allowing access to limited categories of entities and individuals and only after such entities or individuals complete an appropriate process. We propose that entities or individuals that may seek to obtain access include: Federal, state, local, and Tribal governmental entities involved in robocall enforcement; the registered industry traceback consortium; the STIR/SHAKEN Governance Authority; and intermediate providers and voice service providers who accept call traffic directly from a voice service provider listed in the database and request to review what actions that provider is taking to combat the origination of illegal robocalls. For this final group, we propose limiting access to the requesting party's outside counsel and consultants, as well as the employees and support personnel of these outside firms. We propose limiting access to these groups to balance the Commission's goals of promoting transparency in robocall mitigation efforts and protecting providers' sensitive information from competitors and bad actors attempting to circumvent these mitigation efforts. We seek comment on this proposed scope of eligible reviewing parties, and whether a broader or narrower group would better balance the goals of promoting transparency and protecting sensitive information. We also propose adopting the standard process for obtaining access to confidential and highly confidential information used by the Bureau in other proceedings. This process would require any person other than support personnel seeking access to confidential or highly confidential information pursuant to the Protective Order to sign and date an Acknowledgement of Confidentiality agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Protective Order, and to file the Acknowledgment with the Commission and deliver a copy to the filing provider.

Other Protective Order Provisions. Beyond the changes proposed above, we propose adopting the standard provisions found in other Commission Protective Orders. For example, we propose adopting standard provisions governing the designation of information as confidential or highly confidential, challenges to designations, the procedure for objecting to the disclosure of confidential or highly confidential information, and the review of confidential and highly confidential documents. Additionally, we propose adopting similar appendices, including one which contains an Acknowledgement of Confidentiality, and another which details what information and documents can be designated as highly confidential. We seek comment on whether and how we should modify these provisions or appendices in the context of the Robocall Mitigation Database.

Ex Parte Rules. This proceeding shall be treated as a “permit-but-disclose” proceeding in accordance with the Commission's ex parte rules. Persons making ex parte presentations must file a copy of any written presentation or a memorandum summarizing any oral presentation within two business days after the presentation (unless a different deadline applicable to the Sunshine period applies). Persons making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda summarizing the presentation must: (1) List all persons attending or otherwise participating in the meeting at which the ex parte presentation was made; and (2) summarize all data presented and arguments made during the presentation. If the presentation consisted in whole or in part of the presentation of data or arguments already reflected in the presenters written comments, memoranda, or other filings in the proceeding, the presenter may provide citations to such data or arguments in his or her prior comments, memoranda, or other filings (specifying the relevant page and/or paragraph numbers where such data or arguments can be found) in lieu of summarizing them in the memorandum. Documents shown or given to Commission staff during ex parte meetings are deemed to be written ex parte presentations and must be filed consistent with section 1.1206(b) of the Commission's rules. In proceedings governed by section 1.49(f) of the rules or for which the Commission has made available a method of electronic filing, written ex parte presentations and memoranda summarizing oral ex parte presentations, and all attachments thereto, must be filed through the electronic comment filing system available for that proceeding, and must be filed in their native format ( e.g., .doc, .xml., .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants in this proceeding should familiarize themselves with the Commission's ex parte rules.

The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.

As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might “further reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.”

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The FCC maintains a system of records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records” that covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that marine VHF radio licensees maintain under 47 CFR 80.103.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for confidentiality with respect to all owners of Marine VHF radios with Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability in this collection. The licensee records will be publicly available and routinely used in accordance with subsection (b) of the Privacy Act of 1974. FRN numbers and material which is afforded confidential treatment pursuant to a request made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules will not be available for public inspection. Any personally identifiable information (PII) that individual applicants provide is covered *14752 by a system of records, FCC/WTB-1, “Wireless Services Licensing Records”, and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to the Routine Uses as stated in the SORN.

Needs and Uses: The information collected is necessary to require owners of marine VHF radios with Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability to register information such as the name, address, type of vessel with a private entity issuing marine mobile service identities (MMSI). The information would be used by search and rescue personnel to identify vessels in distress and to select the proper rescue units and search methods.

The requirement to collect this information is contained in international agreements with the U.S. Coast Guard and private sector entities that issue MMSI's.

The information is used by private entities to maintain a database used to provide information about the vessel owner in distress using marine VHF radios with DSC capability. If the data were not collected, the U.S. Coast Guard would not have access to this information which would increase the time and effort needed to complete a search and rescue operation.

Technology description follows:

Emergence of highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern that are resistant to current therapeutic antibodies highlights the need for continuing discovery of broadly reactive antibodies.

Scientists at the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases discovered and characterized a group of human monoclonal antibodies that target unique epitopes on the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. These antibodies ultra-potently neutralize >12 variants of SARS-CoV-2, including P1, B.1.429, B.1.1.7 and B.1.351, as shown in a pseudovirus neutralization assay. These antibodies target 3 distinct epitopes in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein and function by blocking ACE2 binding. These antibodies are not impacted by spike mutations that knockout binding to other therapeutic antibodies, including E484K, N439K, Y453F, L452R and K417N. Several antibodies are able to simultaneously bind to the spike protein and are compatible for use in combination therapies. In in vitro assays, these combinations were shown to decrease the appearance of escape mutants suggesting the potential to mitigate resistance development when used as combination therapy.

This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.

Technology description follows.

Vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 are increasingly available under emergency use authorizations; however, indications are currently limited to individuals twelve (12) years or older. They also involve intramuscular immunization, which does not directly stimulate local immunity in the respiratory tract, the primary site of SARS-CoV-2 infection, shedding and spread. While the major burden of COVID-19 disease is in adults, infection and disease also occur in infants and young children, contributing to viral transmission. Therefore, the development of safe and effective pediatric COVID-19 vaccines is important. Ideally, a vaccine should be effective as a single dose, should induce mucosal immunity with the ability to restrict SARS-CoV-2 infection and respiratory shedding, and should easily coordinate with vaccines for other illnesses, such as HPIV3.

The live-attenuated vaccine candidates are based on a recombinant chimeric bovine/human parainfluenza virus 3 (rB/HPIV3) vector expressing prefusion-stabilized versions of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Spike (S) protein. The B/HPIV3-SARS CoV-2 vaccine candidates are designed to be administered intranasally by drops or spray to infants and young children. The vaccines are expected to induce durable and broad systemic and respiratory mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and HPIV3. Immunogenicity and protective efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 challenge was confirmed in experimental animals including non-human primates. Based on experience with this B/HPIV3 platform and other live-attenuated PIV vaccine candidates in previous pediatric clinical studies, the present candidates are anticipated to be well-tolerated in humans, including infants and young children, and are available for clinical evaluation. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has extensive experience and capability in evaluating live-attenuated respiratory virus vaccine candidates in pediatric clinical studies, including PIV vaccine candidates, and opportunity for collaboration exists.

This technology is available for nonexclusive licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, as well as for further development and evaluation under a research collaboration.

Proposed Collection Title: Electronic Individual Development Plans, 0925-NEW, expiration date XX/XX/XXXX, National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Eye Institute's (NEI) Office of the Scientific Director (OSD) goal is to train the next generation of vision researchers and ophthalmologists. Trainees who participate in NEI research come with different levels of education (student, postbaccalaureate, predoctoral including graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows) and for different amounts of time (6 months to 5 years). Training at the NEI focuses on scientific and professional skill development. To enhance their chances of obtaining their ideal career, completing an annual Individual Development Plan (IDP) is an important step in helping a trainee's career and professional development and is standard practice in graduate and postdoctoral education. An IDP is an effective tool for trainees to think about their career goals and skills needed to achieve them during their time at the NEI. Trainees work together with their research mentor to organize and summarize their research projects, consider career goals, and set training goals and expectations, both for the mentee and mentor.

This information collection request is to implement an electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP). The data collected comes from a detailed questionnaire focused on responses to professional goals and expectations while the they are at the NEI. It is expected that the trainees will complete the eIDP annually and by doing so, it will help enhance the effectiveness of their training by setting clear goals that can be monitored not only by the trainee themselves but also by their mentor, the Training Director, and their Administrative Officer. In addition to this eIDP, the system will also implement an electronic exit survey. The data collected comes from a detailed questionnaire focused on responses to questions focused on trainee mentoring and professional experiences at the NEI as well as their plans after they depart. It is expected that the trainees will complete at the end of their tenure and that by doing so, the NEI Training Program can learn about ways to improve career development opportunities for future trainees as well as learn more about trainee job choices to better advise fellows. Additionally, we can use the survey to help determine mentor effectiveness and help identify problems in mentoring at the NEI.

FEMA proposes to make flood hazard determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).

These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM and FIS report become effective.

The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report become effective.

Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.

The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each community are available for inspection at both the online location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in accordance with section 10(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ), as amended, provide a list to the public of the permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A) and 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits take of listed species unless a Federal permit is issued that authorizes the taking, or the take is exempted through section 7 of the ESA. Under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA, we issue enhancement of survival permits in conjunction with candidate conservation agreements with assurances (CCAAs) and safe harbor agreements (SHAs). Section 10(a)(1)(A) also authorizes recovery permits. Section 10(a)(1)(B) permits authorize take of listed species incidental to otherwise lawful activities associated with habitat conservation plans (HCPs). We provide this list to the public as a summary of our permit issuances for CCAAs, SHAs, HCPs, and recovery permits for calendar year 2020.

Under the authority of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA, we have issued enhancement of survival permits to conduct activities that provide a conservation benefit for endangered or threatened species, or for unlisted species should they become listed in the future, in response to permit applications that we received in conjunction with a SHA or a CCAA.

Recovery permits have been issued under ESA section 10(a)(1)(A) to allow for take as part of activities intended to foster the recovery of listed species, typically for scientific research in order to understand better the species' long-term survival needs.

Under ESA section 10(a)(1)(B), we may issue permits for any taking otherwise prohibited by ESA section 9 if such taking is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity (known as an incidental take permit (ITP)) and the permit applicant submits a habitat conservation plan (HCP) that meets the permit issuance criteria under section 10(a)(2)(B). Typically, applicants seek an ITP to conduct activities such as residential and commercial development, infrastructure development or maintenance, and energy development projects that range in scale from small to landscape-level planning efforts.

The permits associated with SHAs, CCAAs, HCPs, and recovery activities that we issued between January 1 and December 31, 2020, are listed in the tables below.

Under section 10(a)(1)(A), we issued each permit only after we determined that it was applied for in good faith, that granting the permit would not be to the disadvantage of the listed species, or to the unlisted species should it be listed; that the proposed activities would benefit the recovery or the enhancement of survival of the species; and that the terms and conditions of the permits were consistent with the purposes and policy set forth in the ESA. Under section 10(a)(1)(B), we issued permits only after we determined that the applicant is eligible and has submitted a complete application and HCP that fully meets the permit issuance criteria consistent with section 10(a)(2)(B).
