NRCS plans to revise the conservation practice standards in the NHCP. This notice provides an overview of the planned changes and gives the public an opportunity to offer comments on the specific conservation practice standards and NRCS's proposed changes.

NRCS State Conservationists who choose to adopt these practices in their States will incorporate these practices into the respective electronic Field Office Technical Guide. These practices may be used in conservation systems that treat highly erodible land (HEL) or on land determined to be a wetland. Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 requires NRCS to make available for public review and comment all proposed revisions to conservation practice standards used to carry out HEL and wetland provisions of the law.

The amount of the proposed changes varies considerably for each of the conservation practice standards addressed in this notice. To fully understand the proposed changes, individuals are encouraged to compare these changes with each standard's current version, which can be found at: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detailfull/national/technical/cp/ncps/?cid=nrcs143_026849.

NRCS is requesting comments on the following conservation practice standards:

• Aquatic Organism Passage (Code 396);

• Clearing and Snagging (Code 326);

• Constructed Wetland (Code 656);

• Dike and Levee (Code 356);

• Diversion (Code 362);

• Feed Management (Code 592);

• Firebreak (Code 394);

• Forest Stand Improvement (Code 666);

• Fuel Break (Code 383);

• Hillside Ditch (Code 423);

• Range Planting (Code 550); and

• Soil Carbon Amendment (Code 336).

The following are highlights of some of the proposed changes to each standard:

Aquatic Organism Passage (Code 396): Revisions have been made to clarify the differences between the biological and ecological requirements versus the engineering structural design elements. The Criteria section has been reorganized into subsections that list application criteria for specific barrier situations. References have been updated and minor revisions were made for clarity and readability.

Clearing and Snagging (Code 326): The definition has been changed to clarify that the term stream includes channels. The purposes have been reworded to better clarify the resource concerns being addressed by the standard. Changes have been made in the Criteria section to the capacity analysis to add flexibility for emergency work and to clarify hazardous materials such as propane tanks and car bodies for debris disposal.

Costructed Wetland (Code 656): Changes were made to the Purposes and Conditions Where Practice Applies section of the standard to clarify that the practice can be used to treat tile drainage outflow. References were added and the formatting and writing style were updated to meet current agency requirements. Minor revisions were made for clarity and readability.

Dike and Levee (Code 356): This revision retitles CPS 356 from Dike to Dike and Levee to allow distinction between dikes and levees. A clear distinction is drawn between what is a dike and what is a levee based on purpose and levee hazard potential. This distinction is necessary to align with the definition of a levee used by other Federal agencies. Potential future revisions include splitting this standard into two separate standards after National Levee Safety Guidelines are developed, but the timeframe for that is currently unknown.

Diversion (Code 362): Formatting and writing style were updated to meet current agency requirements. The purposes were consolidated from nine statements to three statements. In the Criteria section, the subsection for cross section would provide additional protection for sensitive sites and vegetative establishment subsection changes would clarify non-vegetated diversions are allowable. The Considerations section addressing potential wetland impacts was expanded to include subsurface seepage and to address the potential water quality impacts of concentrating flows.

Feed Management (Code 592): Multiple changes and additions would be made throughout the standard to meet current agency requirements and language updated to improve clarity. The purpose for Air Quality was expanded to include ammonia, volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases, and dust to be consistent with the Air Quality policy.

Firebreak (Code 394): Firebreak definition would be changed to distinguish this practice from Fuel Break (383). Language would be updated throughout the document to improve clarity. Considerations section was reorganized to put similar considerations together. References were updated by adding relevant publications.

Forest Stand Improvement (Code 666): The Definition, Purpose, Criteria, Considerations, and Operation and Maintenance sections were refined to add clarity. The purposes were revised to align with resource concerns. Criteria and Considerations sections were reorganized and revised to match the updated purposes and link to enhancements. New considerations for the use of biomass for bioenergy, renewable energy production, or biochar were added. The References section was updated with relevant publications.

Fuel Break (Code 383): Language was added to better distinguish Fuel Break (383) from Firebreak (394). Purpose, Criteria, and Considerations sections were further refined. The sections on Plans and Specifications and Operation and Maintenance were revised to improve clarity. The References section was updated with relevant publications.

Hillside Ditch (Code 423): The formatting and writing style were updated to meet current agency requirements and minor revisions were made for clarity and readability. The Capacity subsection of Criteria was revised to remove specific limitations for stable channel grade and expanded to be the Channel Stability and Capacity subsection. The required capacity was reduced from conveying runoff from a 10 year-24 hour storm to a 5 year-24 hour storm.

Range Planting (Code 550): The Definition and Conditions Where Practice Applies sections were edited for clarity. In the Criteria section, the general criteria applicable to all purposes was edited for completeness and a multi‐year seeding strategy was added to Considerations. References were updated to include a Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) study and the PLANTS database.

Soil Carbon Amendment (Code 336): Supports the application of biochar, compost, and other state‐approved carbon amendments (for example, harvested aquatic plant biomass, bagasse, distillation residue) to increase soil carbon sequestration and improve soil health on all land uses. The evaluation and monitoring of soil properties, amendment characterization, and short and long‐term conservation objectives form the basis for the soil carbon amendment practice plan.

In accordance with Federal civil rights law and USDA civil rights regulations and policies, USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family or parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA (not all bases apply to all programs). Remedies and complaint filing deadlines vary by program or incident.

Commerce published the Final Results of this review on March 10, 2022. 1 On March 14, 2022, we received timely submitted ministerial error comments from the petitioner  2 and interested party Shandong Province Sanli Tire Manufactured Co. Ltd (Sanli). 3 On March 18, 2022, Sumitomo Rubber (Hunan) Co., Ltd. (SRH), filed comments rebutting the petitioner's assertion that Commerce committed a ministerial error. 4 Commerce is amending its Final Results to correct the ministerial error raised by the petitioner.

A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), includes “errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which the administering authority considers ministerial.”  5 With respect to final results of administrative reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce “will analyze any comments received and if appropriate, correct any ministerial error by amending . . . the final results of review. . . .”

Commerce determines that, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it made a ministerial error in the Final Results. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the Final Results to reflect the correction of this ministerial error in the calculation of the countervailable subsidy rate assigned to SRH, which changes from 24.79 percent to 25.63 percent. 6 For a detailed discussion of Commerce's analysis, see Amended Final Analysis Memorandum. 7 As a result of this change, the rate for the three non-selected companies under review also changes to 25.63 percent. Finally, the adverse facts available (AFA) rate for Triangle Tyre Co., Ltd. changes to 125.17 percent.

As a result of correcting the ministerial error described above, Commerce determines the following net countervailable subsidy rates for the period of review (POR), January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019:

We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these amended final results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final results of this review. We will calculate importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered values of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212.(b)(1).

We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the amended Final Results of this review. However, as stated in the Final Results, we will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired.

In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the companies subject to this review. For all non-reviewed companies, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposits, effective upon publication of these amended final results, shall remain in effect until further notice.

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

We are issuing and publishing these amended final results of review in accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. “Collection of Information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public obtain or report information. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, the CFTC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information listed below. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 1

Title: “Qualification Information for Candidates to Advisory Committees and Subcommittees.” This is a request for a new OMB control number.

Abstract: The CFTC's advisory committees were created to provide input and make recommendations to the Commission on a variety of regulatory and market issues that affect the integrity and competitiveness of U.S. derivatives markets. The committees facilitate communication between the Commission and U.S. derivatives markets, trading firms, market participants, and end users. The CFTC currently has five advisory committees. The Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, and subsequently codified in the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 1 et seq., at 7 U.S.C. 2(a)(15), and is not subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-463 codified as 5 U.S.C. App. 2. The Agricultural Advisory Committee, Global Markets Advisory Committee, Market Risk Advisory Committee, and the Technology Advisory Committee are discretionary committees under the FACA. The Commission also establishes subcommittees that report to advisory committees as needed. Advisory committee and subcommittee members are generally representatives, but depending on the issues to be addressed, the Commission will appoint special government employees and officials from other federal agencies from time to time. Representatives provide the viewpoints of entities or recognizable groups, and they are expected to represent a particular and known bias. On the other hand, special government employees are expected to provide their own independent judgment in committee deliberations and are expected to discuss and deliberate in a manner that is free from conflicts of interest. 2 Advisory committee and subcommittee members generally serve 2, 3 or 4-year terms, and appointments are made following the establishment of a new subcommittee or as committee or subcommittee vacancies arise.

The CFTC identifies candidates for advisory committee and subcommittee membership through a variety of methods, including public requests for nominations; recommendations from existing advisory committee members; consultations with knowledgeable persons outside the CFTC (industry, consumer groups, other state or federal government agencies, academia, etc.); requests to be represented received from individuals and organizations; and Commissioners' and CFTC staff's professional knowledge of those experienced in the derivatives and underlying commodities markets. Following the identification process, the CFTC develops a list of proposed members with the relevant points of view needed to ensure membership balance. The Commission then votes to appoint individuals, or specified organizations, to serve. 3

The collection of information is necessary to support the CFTC Advisory Committee Program which includes committees, most of which are governed by the FACA, and subcommittees that report directly to the CFTC FACA committees, as noted above. Pursuant to the FACA, an agency must ensure that a committee is balanced with respect to the viewpoints represented and the functions to be performed by that committee. Consistent with this, in order to select individuals for potential membership on an advisory committee, the CFTC must determine that potential members are qualified to serve on an advisory committee and that the viewpoints are properly balanced on the committee. The CFTC is also required to ensure that committee members are properly designated as special government employees or representatives. 4 While CFTC subcommittees are not subject to the FACA, the selection process for subcommittee members who are not already serving on the parent committee is similar to that of new committee members. Additionally, the agency follows similar member selection procedures for the agency's non-FACA committee.

CFTC staff would use the information collected to determine the experience and expertise of potential advisory committee and subcommittee members, ensure that the membership on a committee or subcommittee is balanced, and ensure that committee and subcommittee members are properly designated as representatives or special government employees.

The CFTC seeks to collect the following information: Information that supports an individual's experience and expertise to serve on an advisory committee or subcommittee, including letters of interest, recommendation letters, nomination letters (including self-nominations), resumes, curriculum vitae or other similar biographical information document. Additionally, information that ensures membership balance ( e.g., represented viewpoint category) and appropriate designation of an individual as either a representative or special government employee.

With respect to the collection of information, the CFTC invites comments on:

• Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have a practical use;

• The accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

• Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

• Ways to minimize the burden of 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.

You should submit only information that you wish to make available publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider information that you believe is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, a petition for confidential treatment of the exempt information may be submitted according to the procedures established in § 145.9 of the Commission's regulations. 5

The Commission reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to review, pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or remove any or all of your submission from http://www.cftc.gov that it may deem to be inappropriate for publication, such as obscene language. All submissions that have been redacted or removed that contain comments on the merits of the Information Collection Request will be retained in the public comment file and will be considered as required under the Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable laws, and may be accessible under the Freedom of Information Act.

Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows:

Estimated Number of Respondents: 91.

Estimated Average Burden Hours Per Respondent: 1 hour.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 91 hours.

Frequency of Collection: As needed.

There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.

Authority: Section 3(c)(10) of the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 U.S.C. 635a(c)(10)).

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020  1 recognizes a self-regulatory nonprofit organization, the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, which is charged with developing proposed rules on a variety of subjects. Those proposed rules and later proposed rule modifications take effect only if approved by the Federal Trade Commission. 2 The proposed rules and rule modifications must be published in the Federal Register for public comment. 3 Thereafter, the Commission has 60 days from the date of publication to approve or disapprove the proposed rule or rule modification. 4

Pursuant to Section 3053(a) of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020 and Commission Rule 1.142, notice is hereby given that, on April 25, 2022, the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (“HISA” or the “Authority”) filed with the Federal Trade Commission a proposed Registration rule and supporting documentation as described in Items I, II, III, IV, and IX below, which Items have been prepared by HISA. The Office of the Secretary of the Commission determined that the filing complied with the Commission's rule governing such submissions. 5 The Commission publishes this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from interested persons.

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020 (“Act”) recognizes that the establishment of a national set of uniform standards for racetrack safety and medication control will enhance the safety and integrity of horseracing. The Act specifically states that the Commission, the Authority, and the anti-doping medication control enforcement agency “shall have safety, performance, and anti-doping and medication control authority over covered persons similar to such authority of the State racing commissions before the program effective date.” State racing commissions routinely license participants in horse racing as a prerequisite for participation in the sport. In the same manner, Congress mandated in the Act that the Authority require the registration of Covered Persons: “As a condition of participating in covered races and in the care, ownership, treatment, and training of covered horses, a covered person shall register with the Authority in accordance with rules promulgated by the Authority and approved by the Commission in accordance with section 3053 of this title.”  6

In requiring the registration of Covered Persons, Congress recognized that the effective regulation of horseracing under the Act requires that Covered Persons participating in Covered Horseraces must be identifiable as individuals to the Authority. This is necessary for a number of reasons, including the need to contact a Covered Person to request information required under Authority rules and to initiate disciplinary proceedings if a Covered Person fails to comply with the rules. To this end, the Registration proposed rule requires a Covered Person to register with the Authority, providing his or her name, contact information, state licensing status, and other pertinent information to the Authority. The Registration proposed rule fulfills Congress's registration mandate by establishing the procedures and rules under which Covered Persons register with the Authority. The Registration proposed rule also requires Covered Persons to ensure that Covered Horses for which they are responsible are registered with the Authority. In registering Covered Horses, Covered Persons must identify the location of the Covered Horse and provide the equine vaccine and health information required by Rule 2143 of the Authority's Racetrack Safety Rules. These requirements serve the vital function of enabling the Authority to quickly locate a Covered Horse if medication testing is required or if a Covered Horse's health and safety becomes a concern and to review the health and vaccine information entered into the Authority's database at the time of registration.

In developing the Registration proposed rule, the Authority considered creating a registration system that paralleled existing state licensing requirements. State licensing schemes routinely require substantial amounts of information from a license applicant, including the applicant's licensing and disciplinary history, citizenship status, criminal history, civil judgments entered against the applicant, and employment status; similar information is often required regarding an applicant's spouse. (Attached as supporting documentation are the licensing rules and applications that the Authority consulted in developing the Registration proposed rule). Ultimately, the Authority opted not to fully duplicate state licensing information requirements, since the Authority may obtain information concerning state licensees from cooperating state racing commissions, the Association of Racing Commissioners International, and The Jockey Club. The Authority's Registration proposed rule therefore creates a narrower and more streamlined process that focuses primarily on requiring Covered Persons to provide and update contact information, to register Covered Horses as necessary, and to agree to comply with the rules, standards, and procedures developed and approved under 15 U.S.C. 3054(c). Certain categories of Covered Persons are required to submit additional information. Veterinarians are required to list the jurisdictions in which they are currently licensed by state veterinary licensing authorities. Jockeys are required to provide the names of the jockey agents who represent them, and jockey agents are in turn required to identify the jockeys they represent. Racetracks are required to identify the majority or controlling interests of the Racetrack and to report any changes in ownership and control to the Authority.

The Registration proposed rule will affect Covered Persons by requiring them to register with the Authority and provide and update the information specified in the proposed rule. The Registration proposed rule also requires Covered Persons to agree to comply with all rules, standards, and procedures developed and approved under 15 U.S.C. 3054(c). As noted previously, the registration process is necessary for the effective regulation of Covered Persons, but it is not overly burdensome and is less extensive than state licensing requirements. The Registration proposed rule affects Covered Horses by requiring a Covered Person to register with the Authority all Covered Horses for which the Covered Person is the Responsible Person. (The Responsible Person concept is more fully described below in Item II of this Notice, the “Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rules”). The safety and welfare of Covered Horses will be enhanced by their registration with the Authority, since, as described previously, the Authority will be able to locate a horse for testing and safety purposes and to review the horse health information provided during registration. The registration of Covered Horses and Covered Persons, including racetracks, will further the purpose of enhancing the safety, welfare, and integrity of Covered Persons and Covered Horses, and the safe conduct of Covered Horseraces will be significantly enhanced as a result.

The Registration proposed rule is consistent with the Act in that it complies with and fulfills the Act's specific mandate in 15 U.S.C. 3054(d)(1) to require the registration of Covered Persons with the Authority in accordance with rules promulgated by the Authority and approved by the Commission. The Registration proposed rule provides Covered Persons with the information and guidance necessary to properly register with the Authority, establishes certain exemptions to registration, requires that registration information be updated as necessary, and provides for the registration of Covered Horses.

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020, 15 U.S.C. 3051 through 3060.

The Authority's Registration proposed rule was guided by the purposes and objectives of the Act, in particular the Act's explicit directive in 15 U.S.C. 3054(d)(1) that Covered Persons be required to register with the Authority in accordance with rules promulgated by the Authority and approved by the Commission. The Registration proposed rule establishes the requirements and procedures for the registration of Covered Persons.

Covered Persons are required to register for 12-month periods and, at the end of this period, to review and update registration information previously submitted to the Authority. The Registration proposed rule sets forth the information required for a Covered Person to register, including name and contact information, identification of the states in which the Covered Person is currently licensed, and the occupations for which the Covered Person is licensed. The registration website allows a registrant to upload a copy of a currently valid racing license, from which the computerized registration system extracts information that permits the Authority to verify the registrant's identity and compare it with the databases of The Jockey Club and the Association of Racing Commissioners International. If the user is unable to upload a photo of the racing license, the website will allow the user to manually enter all required information.

Particular provisions have been included regarding certain categories of Covered Persons. Veterinarians are required to identity those states in which they are licensed to practice veterinary medicine. Jockeys are required to provide the names of the jockey agents who represent them, and jockey agents are similarly required to identify the jockeys they represent. Racetracks are defined in the Act as Covered Persons, and are required to provide the racetrack's physical address, mailing address, phone number, and general delivery email address. In addition, racetracks are required to provide the name and contact information for the Director or Officer with the principal responsibility for conducting Covered Horseraces. This person will serve as the Authority's primary point of contact in communicating with the racetrack. Racetracks are also required to identify the majority or controlling ownership interests of the racetrack.

The Registration proposed rule includes a provision exempting from the registration requirement persons performing certain functions at a racetrack. The exemption is set forth in paragraph (f) of the rule as follows: “Vendors of goods or services and racetrack employees or contractors who do not have access to restricted areas of a Racetrack in the ordinary course of carrying out their duties are not required to register with the Authority. For purposes of this rule, mutuel employees are deemed not to have access to restricted areas of a Racetrack.”

The Act, in 15 U.S.C. 3054(d)(2), specifically requires that registration include “an agreement by the covered person to be subject to and comply with the rules, standards, and procedures developed and approved under [15 U.S.C. 3054(c)].” The Registration proposed rule includes a provision that requires a Covered Person to agree to these rules, standards, and procedures, and further states that these rules, standards, and procedures are set forth in the Authority's Rule 8000 Series. The Authority's registration website also requires the Covered Person to affirm this agreement and provides a link to the Rule 8000 Series if the Covered Person desires to read the rules.

The Registration proposed rule further requires that the information provided by a Covered Person be complete and correct, and it requires Covered Persons to update registration information to accurately report any material changes in the information required for registration. The Registration proposed rule also establishes penalties for failure to register with the Authority, for making a knowingly false statement or omission of information in an application for registration with the Authority, and for failure to advise the Authority of material changes in information provided to the Authority as required under any provision in Authority rules.

The Act defines Covered Horse at 15 U.S.C. 3051(4). 7 A key requirement in the Authority's regulation scheme is that all Covered Horses shall have at all times a Responsible Person who is ultimately responsible for the safety and welfare of the Covered Horse. The definition of Responsible Person was developed by the Racetrack Safety Committee and is set forth in the Racetrack Safety and Accreditation Rule 2000 Series. 8 The Registration proposed rule requires that Responsible Persons, as defined in Rule 2010 of the Racetrack Safety Rules, shall ensure that Covered Horses are registered with the Authority. The Registration proposed rule specifies the information to be submitted, including the Covered Horse's name and year of birth, the dam of the Covered Horse, the ID number of the Owner of the covered Horse, the horse's location and Vaccine and Health Information required in Rule 2143 of the Racetrack Safety Regulations, and other information reasonably required by the Authority to fulfill its statutory duties under the Act. The Registration proposed rule also makes clear that failure to register a Covered Horse shall constitute a violation and is subject to the sanctions set forth in Rule 8200 and the disciplinary procedures set forth in Rule 8300.

As encouraged by the Commission's procedural rule, the Authority, before finalizing this submission to the Commission, made a draft of the Registration proposed rule available to the public for review and comment on the HISA website, https://www.hisausregs.org/. Comments on the Registration proposed rule were received from various individuals and groups in the horseracing industry.

Some commenters urged that accommodation be made for members of the horseracing industry who do not have access to computers or are not computer literate. 9 The Authority recognizes that this can be a concern. But the registration process is not complex, and assistance is often available from other members of the industry and from horseracing organizations such as the Jockey's Guild. Concerns were also expressed about members of the horseracing industry who do not speak English. 10 The Authority is developing the website to accommodate the many Spanish-speaking members of the horseracing industry. One commenter asked whether a fee will be imposed for registration. 11 The Authority will not be imposing registration fees at this time.

One commenter offered suggested language to be added to the Registration proposed rule, similar to the more extensive information requirements of state licensing applications. 12 Other commenters asked whether the Authority would collaborate with state racing commissions in obtaining information pertaining to HISA registrants that has previously been submitted to state racing commissions. 13 Some commenters assumed that the HISA registration system would duplicate the state licensing system in many respects. As noted elsewhere in this filing, the Registration proposed rule will not require the extensive licensing, disciplinary, employment, and spousal information that state racing commissions routinely require, and it will therefore not duplicate state licensing information requirements. The Registration proposed rule will focus primarily on the identification of Covered Persons and Covered Horses. The Authority will collaborate with the state racing commissions and other organizations as needed if additional information specific to a particular individual is required.

A commenter asked how information concerning horses will be kept current, in view of the fact that horse ownership, custody, and control can change frequently. 14 The commenter asked whether it is realistic to assume that owners and trainers will be in frequent contact with HISA to update ownership and control. The commenter asked whether this information can be obtained directly from the racetracks through their internal systems or InCompass. In response to these comments, the Authority notes that the InCompass system records the name of the trainer at the time of entry and of racing but does not track the identity of the trainer at any other time. The Authority believes that the registration of horses is vital to securing horse safety and welfare and that the requirements placed upon Responsible Persons are not unreasonable or burdensome. The Authority's website registration system has been specifically designed to be user-friendly and to make registration a relatively simple and time-efficient process. The commenter asked several questions as to how personal information will be maintained and the privacy of rights of individual secured. The Authority has developed privacy policies and a terms-and-conditions policy that will govern these matters.

A commenter asked whether certain classes of individuals are Covered Persons required to register, including personnel working for horsemen's organizations and suppliers who have access to certain areas of the racetrack. In response, the Authority states that the Registration proposed rule and the exemption provision in paragraph 9000(f) of the rule make clear those persons who are required to register. Another commenter offered suggestions to clarify the language in an early draft of the Registration proposed rule concerning persons who are exempted from registration. 15 The suggestions were helpful to the Authority in finalizing the language in the registration exemption.

A commenter asked whether Covered Persons will include jockeys engaged in quarter horse racing. 16 Currently, quarter horse racing is not subject to the Act. Quarter horse jockeys will not be required to register, unless they participate in thoroughbred races. 17

A commenter asked whether the current penalty structure in Rule 8300, which authorizes penalties of up to $50,000.00 for a first violation, can be tailored to the specific violations of the Registration proposed rule, including the failure to update contact information. 18 The commenter noted that some of the penalties would be excessive as applied to a person who fails to update contact information. The Authority believes that the current penalty structure, which offers considerable flexibility in tailoring penalties to the nature of a violation, will not result in excessive penalties for failure to update contact information or other violations.

A commenter asked whether changes in jockey and agent relationships, which are currently provided to the racing office or stewards at the track where the jockey is riding, can be automatically updated. 19 In response, the Authority states that it would be impractical to attempt to obtain this information from every racetrack in operation in the United States. The HISA website provides a centralized method of obtaining the information, and it is a simple process for jockeys and jockey agents to record and update the required information on the website.

One commenter asked to be kept informed as to whether horses at the two-year-old training sales will be considered Covered Horses. 20 Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 3051(4) and Rule 2010, a horse is not a Covered Horse until the horse's first timed and reported workout. Workouts at two-year-old training sales are not considered timed and reported workouts. It is possible that the Authority may be addressing this issue in the anti-doping and medication control rules, which will be published at a future date.

One commenter noted that owners do not always receive photo IDs from the various state racing commissions by which they are licensed. 21 The HISA registration system does not require that a license contain a photo of the licensee. The commenter also noted that the National Racing License issued by the National Racing Compact is not a physical document that can be uploaded. In response to this comment and to avoid confusion, the Authority deleted a reference to the National Racing License in the Registration proposed rule.

Several commenters offered suggestions concerning helpful minor adjustments of the language used in early drafts of the Registration proposed rule. These comments were carefully reviewed, and several of the changes were incorporated into the draft Registration proposed rule as it developed into its final form. 22

This rule is proposed by the Authority for approval or disapproval by the Commission under 15 U.S.C. 3053(c)(1).

If approved by the Commission, this proposed rule will take effect on July 1, 2022.

Members of the public are invited to comment on the Authority's proposed rule. The Commission requests that factual data on which the comments are based be submitted with the comments. The supporting documentation referred to in the Authority's filing, as well as the written comments it received before submitting the proposed rule to the Commission, are available for public inspection at https://www.regulations.gov under docket number FTC-2022-0028.

The Commission seeks comments that address the decisional criteria provided by the Act. The Act gives the Commission two criteria against which to measure proposed rules and rule modifications: “The Commission shall approve a proposed rule or modification if the Commission finds that the proposed rule or modification is consistent with—(A) this chapter; and (B) applicable rules approved by the Commission.”  23 In other words, the Commission will evaluate the proposed rule for its consistency with the specific requirements, factors, standards, or considerations in the text of the Act as well as the Commission's procedural rule.

Although the Commission must approve the proposed rule if the Commission finds that the proposed rule is consistent with the Act and the Commission's procedural rule, the Commission may consider broader questions about the health and safety of horses or the integrity of horseraces and wagering on horseraces in another context: “The Commission may adopt an interim final rule, to take effect immediately, . . . if the Commission finds that such a rule is necessary to protect—(1) the health and safety of covered horses; or (2) the integrity of covered horseraces and wagering on those horseraces.”  24 The Commission may exercise its power to issue an interim final rule on its own initiative or in response to a petition from a member from the public. If members of the public wish to provide comments to the Commission that bear on protecting the health and safety of horses or the integrity of horseraces and wagering on horseraces but do not discuss whether HISA's proposed rule on Registration is consistent with the Act or the applicable rules, they should not submit a comment here. Instead, they are encouraged to submit a petition requesting that the Commission issue an interim final rule addressing the subject of interest. The petition must meet all the criteria established in the Rules of Practice (Part 1, Subpart D);  25 if it does, the petition will be published in the Federal Register for public comment. In particular, the petition for an interim final rule must “identify the problem the requested action is intended to address and explain why the requested action is necessary to address the problem.”  26 As relevant here, the petition should provide sufficient information for the public to comment on, and for the Commission to find, that the requested interim final rule is “necessary to protect—(1) the health and safety of covered horses; or (2) the integrity of covered horseraces and wagering on those horseraces.”  27

9000. Registration of Covered Persons and Covered Horses.

(a) Registration Requirement for Covered Persons. A Covered Person as defined by 15 U.S.C. 3051(6) shall register with the Authority in accordance with this rule on the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority website at https://portal.hisausapps.org/registration. At the end of each successive twelve-month period, calculated from the date of a Covered Person's initial registration, a Covered Person shall be required to review the accuracy of information previously submitted on the website and to update the information as necessary. An individual who is no longer a Covered Person may request the Authority to have his or her name removed from registration with Authority.

(b) Information Required for Registration of Covered Persons. The following information shall be provided by all Covered Persons who register as individuals with the Authority:

This bulletin announces the redesignation of a Federal building. Public Law 117-74, dated December 21, 2021, redesignated the Federal building located at 167 North Main Street in Memphis, TN, as the “Odell Horton Federal Building.”

Section 306(b)(1)(D) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 335a(b)(1)(D)) permits debarment of an individual from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States if FDA finds, as required by section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act, that the individual has been convicted of a felony for conduct relating to the importation into the United States of any drug or controlled substance.

On November 2, 2021, Mr. Head was convicted, as defined in section 306(l)(1) of FD&C Act, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky-Central Division of Frankfort, when the court entered judgment against him for the offense of conspiracy to import misbranded prescription drugs, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371. FDA's finding that debarment is appropriate is based on the felony conviction referenced herein. The factual basis for this conviction is as follows:

As contained in the indictment, filed on November 5, 2020, and in the plea agreement in Mr. Head's case, filed June 10, 2021, in or about June 2015 and continuing through October 2019, Mr. Head conducted a business under the name “Dr. Head's Meds.” In conducting this business, on multiple occasions Mr. Head purchased thousands of generic medication tablets for erectile dysfunction from overseas suppliers located in countries such as India and Singapore. At his request, these suppliers sent packages containing generic versions of VIAGRA and CIALIS to Mr. Head's residence and other locations via the U.S. Postal Service. The labeling accompanying these packages described their contents in an inaccurate or misleading manner, such as “Supplement.” After receiving the bulk shipments of generic erectile dysfunction tablets, Mr. Head sold them in smaller quantities to customers in the United States.

As a result of this conviction, FDA sent Mr. Head, by certified mail, on January 21, 2022, a notice proposing to debar him for a 5-year period from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. The proposal was based on a finding under section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act that Mr. Head's felony conviction under Federal law for conspiracy to import misbranded prescription drugs, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371, was for conduct relating to the importation into the United States of any drug or controlled substance because he illegally imported and introduced misbranded prescription drug products into interstate commerce. In proposing a debarment period, FDA weighed the considerations set forth in section 306(c)(3) of the FD&C Act that it considered applicable to Mr. Head's offense and concluded that the offense warranted the imposition of a 5-year period of debarment.

The proposal informed Mr. Head of the proposed debarment and offered him an opportunity to request a hearing, providing him 30 days from the date of receipt of the letter in which to file the request, and advised him that failure to request a hearing constituted a waiver of the opportunity for a hearing and of any contentions concerning this action. U.S. Postal Service records indicate that after a delivery attempt to Mr. Head's residence was made and a notice left, the proposal and notice of opportunity for a hearing letter was picked up at his local post office on February 22, 2022. Mr. Head failed to request a hearing within the timeframe prescribed by regulation and has, therefore, waived his opportunity for a hearing and waived any contentions concerning his debarment (21 CFR part 12).

Therefore, the Assistant Commissioner, Office of Human and Animal Food Operations, under section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act, under authority delegated to the Assistant Commissioner, finds that Mr. Howard Stanley Head, Jr. has been convicted of a felony under Federal law for conduct relating to the importation into the United States of any drug or controlled substance. FDA finds that the offense should be accorded a debarment period of 5 years as provided by section 306(c)(2)(A)(iii) of the FD&C Act.

As a result of the foregoing finding, Mr. Head is debarred for a period of five years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States, effective (see DATES ).

Title of Information Collection: Promise Zones Preference Point Certification Form.

OMB Approval Number: 2501-0033.

Type of Request: Revision.

Form Number: HUD Form 50153.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This collection is a revision of the Promise Zone Preference Point Certification Form (HUD Form 50153). The revisions to the form include the addition of a Paperwork Reduction Act burden statement; the addition of drop-down options to two of the information fields in the form, which will result in less typing for the applicant and fewer typos; the addition of HUD's agency name to the top of the form; and the addition of descriptions to interactive fields to ensure 508 complaince. The Promise Zone Certification Form is used by federal agencies to document that an application or proposal should receive preferences for certain competitive federal programs and technical assistance. The Certification Form should be submitted by organizations applying for federal assistance, in the specific manner described in notices, application materials and other documents, providing instructions on applying for the specific federal program from which the assistance is sought. The Certification Form should be signed by the primary contact of the Lead Organization of a designated Promise Zones community, an individual authorized to make commitments on behalf of and legally bind the Lead Organization. The Certification Form provides evidence to the federal agency administering the program that the entity or entities named in the Form are:

1. Engaged in activities, that in consultation with the Promise Zone lead organization further the purposes of the initiative;

2. Proposing activities that either directly reflect the goals of the Promise Zone or will result in the delivery of services that are consistent with the goals of Promise Zone; and

3. Committed to maintain an on-going relationship with the Promise Zone lead organization for the purposes of coordinating with other Promise Zone activities, reporting on milestones and outcomes, and collaborating with the lead organization and other Promise Zone organizations in securing additional resources and partnerships, as necessary.

HUD designated fourteen communities as urban Promise Zones between 2014 and 2016. Under the Promise Zones initiative, the federal government invests in and partners with high-poverty urban, rural, and tribal communities to create jobs, increase economic activity, improve educational opportunities, leverage private investment, and reduce violent crime. Additional information about the Promise Zones initiative can be found at https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/field_policy_mgt/fieldpolicymgtpz, and questions can be addressed to promisezone@hud.gov.

Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ) and its implementing regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 5 CFR 1320, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.

As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following:

(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) How might the agency 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 response.

Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's regional migratory bird permit offices use information that we collect on permit applications to determine the eligibility of applicants for permits requested in accordance with the criteria in various Federal wildlife conservation laws and international treaties, including:

(1) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq. ).

(2) Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42; 16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq. ).

(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq. ).

Service regulations implementing these statutes and treaties are in chapter I, subchapter B of title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 10, 13, 20, and 21. These regulations stipulate general and specific requirements that, when met, allow us to issue permits to authorize activities that are otherwise prohibited.

Generally, with the exception of forms 3-186 and 3-186a, all Service migratory bird permit application and report forms are in the 3-200 and 3-202 series of forms, each tailored to a specific activity based on the requirements for specific types of permits. We collect standard identifier information for all permits. The information that we collect on applications and reports is the minimum necessary for us to determine if the applicant meets/continues to meet issuance requirements for the particular activity.

In accordance with Federal regulations at 50 CFR 13.12, we collect standard identifier information for all permit applications, such as:

• Applicant's full name and address (street address, city, county, State, and zip code; and mailing address if different from street address); home and work telephone numbers; and a fax number and email address (if available), and

• Location where the requested permitted activity is to occur or be conducted;

• Certification containing the following language:

• Requested effective date of permit (except where issuance date is fixed by the part under which the permit is issued);

• Current date;

• Signature of the applicant;

• Such other information as the Director determines relevant to the processing of the application, including but not limited to

Standardization of general information common to the application forms makes the filing of applications easier for the public, as well as expediting our review of applications. The information that we collect on applications and reports is the minimum necessary for us to determine if the applicant meets/continues to meet issuance requirements for the particular activity.

With this submission, we are proposing the following revisions to the existing information collection:

In 2020, the Service implemented a new automated permit application called ePermits. The ePermits system allowed the Service to move towards a streamlined permitting process to reduce the information collection burden on the public, particularly small businesses. Public burden reduction is a priority for the Service; the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks; and senior leadership at the Department of the Interior. The intent of the ePermits system is to fully automate the permitting process to improve the customer experience and to reduce time burden on respondents. This system enhances the user experience by allowing users to enter data from any device that has internet access, including personal computers, tablets, and smartphones. It also links the permit applicant to the Pay.gov system for payment of the associated permit application fee.

Users of the ePermits system register for and use an account which will then automatically populate the forms they complete with the required identification information. The system eliminates the need for applicants to enter their information multiple times when they apply for separate permits and reducing burden on the applicant. The account registration process will also provide private sector users an opportunity to self-identify as a small business which will enable the Service to more accurately report burden associated with information collection requirements placed on them.

At this time, the ePermits system is unable to fully automate Section E of the permit application process. Section E of each permit application is customized based on the permit type. We anticipate being able to begin digitizing Section E on our forms in calendar year 2022. As a result of challenges with the development of forms within the ePermits system, we do not have a timeline for full automation of Section E. We anticipate beginning the digitization of the report forms contained in this collection by 2023 and believe the digitization of Section E on application forms should be finalized by fiscal year 2024, as funding and resources become available.

We do not anticipate changes to the questions within Section E of each application form. We also do not plan to make changes to the annual report forms contained in this collection. However, we do anticipate proposing the following changes to certain permit application forms contained in this collection, to include:

• Applicants will be able to select the type of business they manage (for-profit, small business, farm, not-for-profit, or government entity).

• Requesting businesses using ePermits provide email addresses for both the principal officer and the business.

• The signature block will be replaced by with electronic submission of the online applications.

• The ePermits system will also:

We propose to modify FWS Form 3-186A to update the field “USFWS Band Number” to say “USFWS/State/Tribe/Territory band number” and ”USFWS Permit Number” to “USFWS/State/Tribe/Territory permit number.”

With this submission, we will seek OMB approval of the Migratory Bird Permit Program Handbook and associated Service Manual chapters at 724 FW 1 (“Migratory Bird Permits”) and 724 FW 2 (“Migratory Bird Management”), all of which contain information collections. The Handbook provides detailed procedures and other operational information to implement the Service Manual chapters in part 724 and more generally in part 720.

New and existing information collections contained in the Handbook requiring OMB approval include the following:

• Renewal procedures associated with the reauthorization of an existing permit (with or without changes to the conditions);

• Reinstatement procedures associated with the reauthorization of an existing permit (with or without changes to the conditions);

• Discontinuance procedures at the permittee's request to discontinue a valid permit;

• Solicitation of appropriate documentation from entities authorized to act on behalf of State, local, Tribal, and Federal government agencies to verify their exempt status for fee exemption purposes;

• Fee waiver request process as outlined in 50 CFR 13.11(d)(3)(iii);

• Requests for reconsideration of a denial, partial denial, suspension, or revocation of a permit (requiring submission of a written request with the required information in 50 CFR 13.29(b) within 45 days after the permit decision); and

• Appeals of reconsideration request decisions (requiring the permittee submit a written request to the Regional Director (see 50 CFR 13.29(e)) within 45 days of the reconsideration decision).

The public may request copies of any form or document contained in this information collection by sending a request to the Service Information Collection Clearance Officer in ADDRESSES , above.

Abstract: As part of a long-term effort to quantify and report on the ambient groundwater quality in upstate New York, the USGS New York Water Science Center will sample pre-existing wells drilled in bedrock and glacial-drift aquifers. The well selection process will include mailing an informational postcard, with a QR code linked to a survey, to well owners within the study region. For respondents who allow their well to be sampled, construction logs and information about the well set-up, treatment, and usage will be used to determine if the well meets the project requirements for sampling. Samples will be analyzed for a broad suite of properties and constituents, including physicochemical properties and concentrations of dissolved gases, major ions, nutrients, trace elements, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, radionuclides, and indicator bacteria. The resulting dataset will contribute to characterizing the ambient groundwater-quality conditions in New York State and can be used to identify long-term trends. The results will be provided to the well owners and will be available to the public through the USGS National Water Information System database ( https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/qw ), published reports, and published data releases.

Background. —On March 7, 2022, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (86 FR 68278, December 1, 2021) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. 1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).

For further information concerning the conduct of this review and rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).

Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https://edis.usitc.gov ). No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic filings will be accepted until further notice.

Staff report. —A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on June 13, 2022. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.

Written submissions. —As provided in section 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution, 2 and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before June 21, 2022 and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by June 21, 2022. However, should the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.

In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.

Determination. —The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

On May 9, 2022, the Commission determined that it should proceed to full reviews in the subject five-year reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). The Commission found that both the domestic and respondent interested party group responses to its notice of institution (87 FR 5503, February 1, 2022) were adequate. A record of the Commissioners' votes will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.

Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to § 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

The Commission instituted this investigation on February 5, 2021, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (“section 337”), based on a complaint filed by complainants One World Technologies, Inc.

D579,868 (“the '868 patent”); D580,353 (“the '353 patent”); and D593,944 (“the '944 patent”). Id. at 8379. The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id. The notice of investigation (“NOI”) names thirteen (13) respondents: Darui Development Limited (“Darui Development”); Dongguan Xinjitong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dongguan Electronic”); Shenzhen Laipaili Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Laipaili”); Shenzhen MingYang Creation Electronic Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen MingYang”); Shenzhen Rich Hao Yuan Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Rich Hao”); Shenzhen Runsensheng Trading Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Runsensheng”); Shenzhen Saen Trading Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Saen”); Shenzhen Shengruixiang E-Commerce Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen E-Commerce”); Shenzhen Uni-Sun Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Uni-Sun”); and Shenzhen Vmartego Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Vmartego”) (collectively, the “Defaulted Respondents”); Shenzhen Liancheng Weiye Industrial Co., Ltd.; Shenzhen Ollop Technology Co. Ltd.; and Shenzhen Tuo Yu Technology Co., Ltd. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (“OUII”) is participating in this investigation. Id.

On May 17, 2021, Commission terminated the investigation based upon the withdrawal of the complaint with respect to respondents Shenzhen Liancheng Weiye Industrial Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Ollop Technology Co. Ltd., and Shenzhen Tuo Yu Technology Co., Ltd., after Complainants were unable to serve these respondents with copies of the Complaint and NOI. Order No. 7 (Apr. 21, 2021), unreviewed by Notice (May 17, 2021).

On April 20, 2021, Complainants filed a motion for an order to show cause why the remaining ten (10) named respondents ( i.e., the Defaulted Respondents) should not be found in default after failing to respond to the Complaint and NOI, which had been duly served upon them. On May 4, 2021, the motion was granted and an order to show cause was issued. Order No. 8 (May 4, 2021). On June 3, 2021, after they failed to respond to the order to show cause, ALJ issued an ID finding all ten Defaulted Respondents to be in default. Order No. 9 (June 3, 2021), unreviewed by Notice (June 23, 2021).

On June 21, 2021, Complainants moved for a summary determination of violation of Section 337 by the Defaulted Respondents and for a recommended determination recommending entry of a general exclusion order and a bond at the rate of 100 percent during the Presidential review period.

On July 16, 2021, OUII filed a response to Complainants' motion supporting a finding of summary determination against only four (4) of the Defaulted Respondents: Darui Development, Dongguan Electronic, Shenzhen Rich Hao, and Shenzhen Saen. Specifically, OUII argued Complainants did not sufficiently connect the importation, sale, or sale after importation of certain of the Accused Products to the Defaulted Respondents. Otherwise, OUII stated it generally supports a finding that Complainants have satisfied the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement under section 337(a)(3)(A) and (B) (19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)(A), (B)) and also supports Complainants' remedy requests.

On March 25, 2022, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 15) granting in part and denying in part Complainants' motion for summary determination. The ID finds that Complainants have shown by reliable, probative, and substantial evidence that a violation of section 337 has occurred with respect to the Asserted Patents as to the following four Defaulted Respondents: Darui Development, Dongguan Electronic, Shenzhen Rich Hao, and Shenzhen Saen. The ID finds that no violation has been established as to any other respondent. The ALJ's recommended determination on remedy and bonding (“RD”) recommends issuance of a general exclusion order with respect to the asserted patents. The RD does not recommend issuance of any cease and desist order.

On April 6, 2022, the IA petitioned for review of certain aspects of the subject ID. No other petitions or responses to petitions were filed.

Having examined the record in this investigation, including the final ID and the petition for review, the Commission has determined to review the ID's findings regarding the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement. In addition, the Commission has determined to review in part the ID with the limited purpose of modifying the ID on review by making certain corrections in the ID.

Specifically, the Commission has determined to modify the subject ID as follows: (1) On page 8 of the ID, to strike the specific identification of the “remaining six (6) Defaulted Respondents” from summary finding number thirteen (13); (2) on page 34 of the ID, to strike the sentence that reads “The model numbers of the Lasica batteries that Defaulted Respondent Shenzhen MingYang offered for sale on the Amazon website are among the DI Products identified in this investigation.”; (3) on page 34 of the ID, to strike the sentence that reads “A Lasica battery that was purchased from the Defaulted Respondent Shenzhen MingYang Amazon website was received in the United States on July 23, 2018 and is clearly marked as `Made in China.' (Memo. at 17; SMF No. 69.).”; (4) on page 37 of the ID, to strike the sentence that reads “It is undisputed that Defaulted Respondent Shenzhen E-Commerce has sold for importation, imported, and/or sold in the United States after importation the accused FUZADEL Battery. (Memo. at 15-16; SMF No. 57; Staff Resp. at 33.).”; (5) on page 38 of the ID, to strike the sentence that reads “The RYOBI TM battery pack model numbers that are offered for sale as a FUZADEL battery pack that Defaulted Respondent Shenzhen E-Commerce offers for sale on the Amazon website are among the DI Products identified in this investigation.”; (6) on page 39 of the ID, to strike the sentence that reads “The RYOBI TM model numbers identified on the jolege battery pack that Defaulted Respondent Shenzhen Uni-Sun offers for sale on the Amazon website are among the DI Products identified in this investigation.”; (7) on page 29 of the ID, to modify the last line to read “Dongguan Electronic” instead of “Darui Development;” (8) on page 30 of the ID, to modify the first line on page 30 of the ID by striking the word “Dongguan;” (9) to modify the last line to read “Shenzhen Rich Hao” instead of “Darui Development;” (10) on page 31 of the ID, to modify the first line to read “Shenzhen Saen” instead of “Dongguan Shenzhen Rich Hao;” (11) on page 31 of the ID, to modify the last line to read “Shenzhen Saen” instead of “Darui Development;” (12) on page 36 of the ID, to modify the fifth line from the top by striking the symbols “4.”; (13) on page 37 of the ID, to modify the sixth line from the bottom to read “Respondent Shenzhen Runsensheng, either alone or in association with Defaulted Respondent Vmartego, is the owner or seller of the Enegitech Accused Product” instead of “Respondent MingYang is the owner or seller of the Lasica Accused Product;” (14) on page 39 of the ID, to modify the fourth line from the bottom to read “Respondent Shenzhen Uni-Sun” instead of “Respondent Shenzhen E-Commerce”; (15) on page 47 of the ID, to strike the text “(Memo at 26 (citing SMF No. 102 and Fletcher Decl. at upper end chamfered and the extrusion of this surface to the Foot Platform. . . .' ” on lines eight and nine from the bottom; (16) on page 63 of the ID, to modify the citation on lines 9 and 10 to read “(Fletcher Decl. at ¶¶ 105-115 ('868 patent); ¶¶ 170-181 ('353 patent); ¶¶ 241-252 ('944 patent))” instead of “(Fletcher Decl. at ¶¶ 105- 114 ('868 patent); ¶¶ 133-142 ('353 patent); ¶¶ 161-170).)”); and (17) on page 65 of the ID, to insert “takes place” after “engineering” to read “engineering takes place in the United States.”

In connection with its review, the Commission requests responses to the following question. The parties are requested to brief their positions with reference to the applicable law and the existing evidentiary record.

1. Please discuss what evidence of record supports a finding that complainants' investments under Section 337(a)(3)(A) and (B), 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)(A), (B), are quantitatively and qualitatively significant.

The parties are invited to brief only the discrete issues requested above. The parties are not to brief other issues on review, which are adequately presented in the parties' existing filings.

In connection with the final disposition of this investigation, the statute authorizes issuance of, inter alia, (1) an exclusion order that could result in the exclusion of the subject articles from entry into the United States; and/or (2) cease and desist orders that could result in the respondents being required to cease and desist from engaging in unfair acts in the importation and sale of such articles. Accordingly, the Commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered. If a party seeks exclusion of an article from entry into the United States for purposes other than entry for consumption, the party should so indicate and provide information establishing that activities involving other types of entry either are adversely affecting it or likely to do so. For background, see Certain Devices for Connecting Computers via Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337-TA-360, USITC Pub. No. 2843, Comm'n Op. at 7-10 (Dec. 1994).

The statute requires the Commission to consider the effects of that remedy upon the public interest. The public interest factors the Commission will consider include the effect that an exclusion order and/or a cease and desist order would have on: (1) The public health and welfare, (2) competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, (3) U.S. production of articles that are like or directly competitive with those that are subject to investigation, and (4) U.S. consumers. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving written submissions that address the aforementioned public interest factors in the context of this investigation.

If the Commission orders some form of remedy, the U.S. Trade Representative, as delegated by the President, has 60 days to approve or disapprove the Commission's action. See Presidential Memorandum of July 21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005). During this period, the subject articles would be entitled to enter the United States under bond, in an amount determined by the Commission and prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Commission is therefore interested in receiving submissions concerning the amount of the bond that should be imposed if a remedy is ordered.

Written Submissions: The parties to the investigation are requested to file written submissions on the issue identified in this notice. Parties to the investigation, interested government agencies, and any other interested parties are encouraged to file written submissions on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. Such submissions should address the recommended determination by the ALJ on remedy and bonding.

In their initial submissions, Complainants are also requested to identify the remedy sought and Complainants and OUII are also requested to submit proposed remedial orders for the Commission's consideration. Complainants are also requested to state the dates on which the asserted patents expire, the HTSUS subheadings under which the accused products are imported, and to supply the names of known importers of the products at issue in this investigation. The initial written submissions and proposed remedial orders must be filed no later than close of business on May 25, 2022. Reply submissions must be filed no later than the close of business on June 1, 2022. No further submissions on these issues will be permitted unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.

Persons filing written submissions must file the original document electronically on or before the deadlines stated above. The Commission's paper filing requirements in 19 CFR 210.4(f) are currently waived. 85 FR 15798 (March 19, 2020). Submissions should refer to the investigation number (“Inv. No. 337-TA-1244”) in a prominent place on the cover page and/or the first page. ( See Handbook for Electronic Filing Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/documents/handbookonfilingprocedures.pdf ). Persons with questions regarding filing should contact the Secretary at (202) 205-2000.

Any person desiring to submit a document to the Commission in confidence must request confidential treatment by marking each document with a header indicating that the document contains confidential information. This marking will be deemed to satisfy the request procedure set forth in Rules 201.6(b) and 210.5(e)(2) (19 CFR 201.6(b) & 210.5(e)(2)). Documents for which confidential treatment by the Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly. Any non-party wishing to submit comments containing confidential information must serve those comments on the parties to the investigation pursuant to the applicable Administrative Protective Order. A redacted non-confidential version of the document must also be filed with the Commission and served on any parties to the investigation within two business days of any confidential filing. All information, including confidential business information and documents for which confidential treatment is properly sought, submitted to the Commission for purposes of this investigation may be disclosed to and used: (i) By the Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for developing or maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity purposes. All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure agreements. All nonconfidential written submissions will be available for public inspection on EDIS.

The Commission vote for this determination took place on May 11, 2022.

The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and in part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR part 210.

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Business Supplement (QBS) is a versatile collection instrument designed to capture information on the U.S. economy quicky and efficiently using the BLS Annual Refiling Survey as the data collection platform. The QBS collection is designed to incorporate new questionnaires as the need arises to allow BLS to collect and publish information quickly so that stakeholders and data users can understand the impact of specific events on the U.S. economy as they occur. The initial QBS survey, the 2021 Business Response Survey, collected information on how establishments were coping with the transition from the height of the coronavirus pandemic into a period of relative economic recovery. It followed the 2020 Business Response Survey (1220-0197), a one-time survey which captured information about changes to business operations, employment and workforce flexibilities, and benefits that occurred as a result of the onset of the pandemic. The BLS is now seeking approval to conduct another survey under the QBS information collection to capture information on telework, hiring and vacancies at establishments. This second QBS survey will ask questions about the availability of telework at businesses, hiring and current vacancies in an attempted to better understand current labor market conditions at this stage of the coronavirus pandemic. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2021 (86 FRN 8037).

This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. DOL seeks authorization for this information collection under OMB Control Number 1220-0198. The current approval is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2024.

The text of the Order is attached.

The licensees that are subject to this order are authorized by the NRC through the general licenses granted in sections 110.21 through 110.24 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), pursuant to Sections 54, 64, 82, and 109b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), to export radioactive material, and deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation.

The Executive Branch has determined that exports of radioactive material, and of deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation under these 10 CFR part 110 general licenses would be inimical to the common defense and security of the United States. For this reason, the Executive Branch has requested that the NRC suspend the general license authority in 10 CFR 110.21 through 110.24 for any exports of radioactive material and deuterium for nuclear end use to the Russian Federation. It is the view of the Executive Branch that this action is necessary to further the national security interests of the United States and to enhance the United States common defense and security and is consistent with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b., 161i., 183, and 186 of the AEA, and 10 CFR 110.20(b) and (f) and 10 CFR 110.50(a)(1) and (2), NRC general license authority to export radioactive material, and deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation under Sections 54, 64, 82 and 109b of the AEA and 10 CFR 110.21 through 110.24 is suspended, effective immediately. This suspension will remain in effect until further notice. Any person wishing to export radioactive material, or deuterium for nuclear end use, to the Russian Federation must apply for a specific license in accordance with 10 CFR 110.31.

For the facility-specific amendment requests shown in this notice, the Commission finds that the licensees' analyses provided, consistent with section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), are sufficient to support the proposed determinations that these amendment requests involve NSHC. Under the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities in accordance with the proposed amendments would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The Commission is seeking public comments on these proposed determinations. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered in making any final determinations.

Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendments until the expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The Commission may issue any of these license amendments before expiration of the 60-day period provided that its final determination is that the amendment involves NSHC. In addition, the Commission may issue any of these amendments prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period if circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that failure to act in a timely way would result, for example in derating or shutdown of the facility. If the Commission takes action on any of these amendments prior to the expiration of either the comment period or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice of issuance. If the Commission makes a final NSHC determination for any of these amendments, any hearing will take place after issuance. The Commission expects that the need to take action on any amendment before 60 days have elapsed will occur very infrequently.

Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by any of these actions may file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to intervene (petition) with respect to that action. Petitions shall be filed in accordance with the Commission's “Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure” in 10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC's regulations are accessible electronically from the NRC Library on the NRC's website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr. If a petition is filed, the Commission or a presiding officer will rule on the petition and, if appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be issued.

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the following general requirements for standing: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; (2) the nature of the petitioner's right to be made a party to the proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of the petitioner's property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (4) the possible effect of any decision or order which may be entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), the petition must also set forth the specific contentions that the petitioner seeks to have litigated in the proceeding. Each contention must consist of a specific statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted. In addition, the petitioner must provide a brief explanation of the bases for the contention and a concise statement of the alleged facts or expert opinion that support the contention and on which the petitioner intends to rely in proving the contention at the hearing. The petitioner must also provide references to the specific sources and documents on which the petitioner intends to rely to support its position on the issue. The petition must include sufficient information to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant or licensee on a material issue of law or fact. Contentions must be limited to matters within the scope of the proceeding. The contention must be one that, if proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A petitioner who fails to satisfy the requirements at 10 CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least one contention will not be permitted to participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene. Parties have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing with respect to resolution of that party's admitted contentions, including the opportunity to present evidence, consistent with the NRC's regulations, policies, and procedures.

Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. Petitions and motions for leave to file new or amended contentions that are filed after the deadline will not be entertained absent a determination by the presiding officer that the filing demonstrates good cause by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition must be filed in accordance with the filing instructions in the “Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)” section of this document.

If a hearing is requested, and the Commission has not made a final determination on the issue of NSHC, the Commission will make a final determination on the issue of NSHC. The final determination will serve to establish when the hearing is held. If the final determination is that the amendment request involves NSHC, the Commission may issue the amendment and make it immediately effective, notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing would take place after issuance of the amendment. If the final determination is that the amendment request involves a significant hazards consideration, then any hearing held would take place before the issuance of the amendment unless the Commission finds an imminent danger to the health or safety of the public, in which case it will issue an appropriate order or rule under 10 CFR part 2.

A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof, may submit a petition to the Commission to participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition should state the nature and extent of the petitioner's interest in the proceeding. The petition should be submitted to the Commission no later than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. The petition must be filed in accordance with the filing instructions in the “Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)” section of this document, and should meet the requirements for petitions set forth in this section, except that under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local governmental body, or Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof does not need to address the standing requirements in 10 CFR 2.309(d) if the facility is located within its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof may participate as a non-party under 10 CFR 2.315(c).

If a petition is submitted, any person who is not a party to the proceeding and is not affiliated with or represented by a party may, at the discretion of the presiding officer, be permitted to make a limited appearance pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person making a limited appearance may make an oral or written statement of his or her position on the issues but may not otherwise participate in the proceeding. A limited appearance may be made at any session of the hearing or at any prehearing conference, subject to the limits and conditions as may be imposed by the presiding officer. Details regarding the opportunity to make a limited appearance will be provided by the presiding officer if such sessions are scheduled.

All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings including documents filed by an interested State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or designated agency thereof that requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302. The E-Filing process requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the internet, or in some cases, to mail copies on electronic storage media, unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing method, as discussed in this notice, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is located in the Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC (ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) and on the NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html .

To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the Office of the Secretary by email at Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital identification (ID) certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which the participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.

Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html . After a digital ID certificate is obtained and a docket created, the participant must submit adjudicatory documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance on submissions is available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html . A filing is considered complete at the time the document is submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing system timestamps the document and sends the submitter an email confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing system also distributes an email that provides access to the document to the NRC's Office of the General Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the document on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before adjudicatory documents are filed to obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing system.

A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic Filing Help Desk through the “Contact Us” link located on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by email to MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.

Participants who believe that they have good cause for not submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper format. Such filings must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner are responsible for serving their documents on all other participants. Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1).

Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the NRC's electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available at https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the presiding officer. If you do not have an NRC-issued digital ID certificate as described above, click “cancel” when the link requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to the NRC's electronic hearing dockets where you will be able to access any publicly available documents in a particular hearing docket. Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or other law requires submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants should not include copyrighted materials in their submission.

OMB has approved and issued control numbers for three collections of information in PBGC's regulations relating to multiemployer plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). These collections of information are described below. OMB approvals for these collections of information expire June 30, 2022. On March 8, 2022, PBGC published (at 87 FR 13020) a notice of its intent to request that OMB extend approval of these collections of information. No comments were received. PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of these collections of information for three years. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Section 4041A(f)(2) of ERISA authorizes PBGC to prescribe reporting requirements and other rules and standards for administering terminated multiemployer plans. Section 4041A(c) and (f)(1) of ERISA prohibit the payment by a mass-withdrawal-terminated plan of lump sums greater than $1,750 or of nonvested plan benefits unless authorized by PBGC.

The regulation requires the plan sponsor of a terminated plan to file a notice of termination with PBGC. The notice of termination must contain the information and certification specified in the instructions for the notice of termination on http://www.pbgc.gov. The regulation also requires the plan sponsor of a mass-withdrawal-terminated plan that is closing out to give notices to participants regarding the election of alternative forms of benefit distribution and, if the plan is not closing out, to obtain PBGC approval to pay lump sums greater than $1,750 or to pay nonvested plan benefits.

PBGC uses the information in a notice of termination to assess the likelihood that PBGC financial assistance will be needed. Plan participants and beneficiaries use the information on alternative forms of benefit to make personal financial decisions. PBGC uses the information in an application for approval to pay lump sums greater than $1,750 or to pay nonvested plan benefits to determine whether such payments should be permitted.

The regulation also requires plans terminated by mass withdrawal, plans terminated by plan amendment that are expected to become insolvent, and insolvent plans under part 4245 receiving financial assistance from PBGC (whether terminated or not terminated) to file with PBGC withdrawal liability information and actuarial valuations or, for smaller plans receiving financial assistance where the present value of the plan's nonforfeitable benefits is $50 million or less, alternative information. PBGC uses the withdrawal liability and actuarial valuation information to estimate PBGC's multiemployer liabilities for purposes of its financial statements and to provide financial assistance to plans that become insolvent.

PBGC estimates that each year, plan sponsors submit notices of termination for five plans, distribute election notices to participants in one of those plans and submit requests to pay benefits or benefit forms not otherwise permitted for one of those plans. The estimated annual burden of this part of this collection of information is 25 hours and $25,000.

Furthermore, PBGC estimates that each year, plan sponsors file actuarial valuations electronically for 100 plans that are terminated or insolvent, and that only 1 smaller plan will file alternative information. The estimated annual burden of this part of the collection of information is 26 hours and $10,400.

PBGC estimates that each year plan sponsors file withdrawal liability payment information from approximately 10 plans. The estimated annual burden of this part of the collection of information is 10 hours and $4,000.

The estimated total hour burden is 61 hours (25 + 26 + 10). The estimated annual burden of the collection of information is estimated to be $39,400 ($25,000 + $4,000 + $10,400).

Section 4245(e) of ERISA requires two types of notice: A “notice of insolvency,” stating a plan sponsor's determination that the plan is or may become insolvent, and a “notice of insolvency benefit level,” stating the level of benefits that will be paid during an insolvency year. The recipients of these notices are PBGC, contributing employers, employee organizations representing participants, and participants and beneficiaries.

The regulation establishes the procedure for complying with these notice requirements. It allows a plan sponsor to combine the notice of insolvency and notice of insolvency benefit level. In addition, the regulation only requires a plan sponsor to provide an updated notice to participants and beneficiaries if there is a change in the amount of benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries. PBGC uses the information submitted to estimate cash needs for financial assistance to troubled plans. The collective bargaining parties use the information to decide whether additional plan contributions will be made to avoid the insolvency and consequent benefit suspensions. Plan participants and beneficiaries use the information in personal financial decisions.

PBGC estimates that at most one plan sponsor of an ongoing plan gives notices each year under section 4245. The estimated annual burden of the collection of information is 16 hours and $10,000.

Section 4281 of ERISA provides rules for plans that have terminated by mass withdrawal. Under section 4281, if nonforfeitable benefits exceed plan assets, the plan sponsor must amend the plan to reduce benefits. If the plan nevertheless becomes insolvent, the plan sponsor must suspend certain benefits that cannot be paid. If available resources are inadequate to pay guaranteed benefits, the plan sponsor must request financial assistance from PBGC.

The regulation requires a plan sponsor to give notices of benefit reduction, notices of insolvency, and notices of insolvency benefit level to PBGC and to participants and beneficiaries and, if necessary, to apply to PBGC for financial assistance. A plan sponsor can combine the notice of insolvency and the notice of insolvency benefit level.

PBGC uses the information it receives to make determinations required by ERISA, to identify and estimate the cash needed for financial assistance to terminated plans, and to verify the appropriateness of financial assistance payments. Plan participants and beneficiaries use the information to make personal financial decisions.

PBGC estimates that plan sponsors of terminated plans each year will file with PBGC 1 notice of benefit reduction, 7 notices of insolvency, 3 combined notices of insolvency and insolvency benefit level, and 5 notices of insolvency benefit level. PBGC also estimates that plan sponsors each year will file initial requests for financial assistance for 10 plans and will submit 425 non-initial applications for financial assistance. The estimated annual burden of the collection of information is 241 hours and $420,400.
