                    The final rule USDA's Privacy Act regulations in 7 CFR 1.123 to exempt a system of records, titled “Smuggling Interdiction and Trade Compliance (SITC) National Information Communication Activity System (SNICAS), USDA/APHIS-21,” from certain provisions of the Privacy Act in order to avoid interference with law enforcement functions. In addition, we updated the list of systems exempt from certain provisions of the Privacy Act in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) to reflect administrative changes as a result of a notice published in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     on November 16, 2001 (66 FR 57698-57700, Docket No. 99-024-1), announcing that USDA combined three system of records (Plant Protection and Quarantine Program-Regulatory Actions, USDA/APHIS-1; Veterinary Services Programs-Animal Quarantine Regulatory Actions, USDA/APHIS-3; and Veterinary Services Programs—Animal Welfare and Horse Protection Regulatory Actions, USDA/APHIS-4) into one system of record: Investigative and Enforcement Records Regarding Regulatory Activities, USDA/APHIS-1. The reason for combining the system of records was to bring all records concerning investigation and enforcement together. However, USDA's Privacy Act regulations were not amended to reflect this consolidation, which we proposed to rectify.

                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    , based on the good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3), respectively. Seeking public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. The delay in the effective date until April 11, 2025, is necessary to give Department officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of new regulation, consistent with the President's memorandum of January 20, 2025. Given the imminence of the effective date and the brief length of the delay of the effective date, seeking prior public comment on this delay would have been impractical, as well as contrary to the public interest in the orderly promulgation and implementation of regulations.

                <P>
                    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-120, -120ER, -120FC, -120QC, and -120RT airplanes. The NPRM published in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     on September 17, 2024 (89 FR 75977). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2024-04-02R01, effective May 31, 2024, issued by ANAC, which is the aviation authority for Brazil (ANAC AD 2024-04-02R01) (also referred to as the MCAI). The MCAI states that a structural assessment found that the fuselage center I longitudinal skin splice and panel between frames 22 and 23 are susceptible to cracking.
                </P>
                <P>In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require performing repetitive inspections of the fuselage center I longitudinal skin splice and applicable corrective actions, as specified in ANAC AD 2024-04-02R01. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.</P>
                <P>
                    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at 
                    <E T="03">regulations.gov</E>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive</HD>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Comments</HD>
                <P>The FAA received a comment from Embraer. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's response.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Extension of Compliance Times</HD>
                <P>Embraer requested the FAA extend the compliance times of the proposed AD. The commenter stated analysis of data of the lower fuselage center I longitudinal skin splice and panel between frames 22 and 23 under operational conditions showed the probability of cracks is less than one percent at 60,000 flight cycles. The commenter stated inspections prior to the accumulation of 50,000 total flight cycles, or within 800 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, as specified in the proposed AD, is overly conservative. The commenter suggested inspections prior to the accumulation of 60,000 total flight cycles, or within 2,000 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, would meet the intent of this AD. Embraer added that the compliance times of this AD should be extended to avoid an unnecessary burden for operators.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees with the request. Embraer did not provide data to support its request to extend the compliance times of the proposed AD. However, ANAC, the state of design authority, has advised the FAA that it defined the threshold, intervals, and grace period based on a methodology considering the findings in the full-scale fatigue test (FSFT) and conservative equivalent damage. The FAA concurs with ANAC's determination. The FAA has not changed this AD as a result of this comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Conclusion</HD>
                <P>This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.</P>

                    <P>The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes; Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (THSAs) being delivered to operators having erroneous information (accumulated life) in the authorized release certificate. This AD requires contacting Collins Aerospace for amended authorized release certificates for the affected parts and replacing the affected parts if necessary, and prohibits the installation of affected parts, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.</P>

                <P>EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2024-0247, dated December 18, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0247) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318 and A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, 212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; Model A321 series airplanes; Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -243, -223F, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, -343, -743L, -841, and -941 airplanes; and Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, -313, -541, -542, -642, and -643 airplanes. Model A320-215, A330-743L, A340-542, and A340-643 airplanes are not certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the applicability. The MCAI states that occurrences were reported of THSAs delivered to operators having erroneous information (accumulated life) in the authorized release certificates. These THSAs were released to service between 2014 and 2024 at some Collins Aerospace Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities where the THSA screw jack assemblies were replaced with parts having higher cumulative operating life than was documented on the authorized release certificates.</P>
                <P>The FAA is issuing this AD to address erroneous accumulated life information in the THSA release certificate, which could lead to operation of the THSA beyond the certificated life limit; operation of the THSA beyond the certificated life limit could result in failure of the THSA and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.</P>
                <P>

                <P>EASA AD 2024-0247 specifies procedures for contacting Collins Aerospace for approved instructions for obtaining amended authorized release certificates, which will allow operators to correctly manage the maintenance consequences of erroneous accumulated life values and ensure compliance with ADs and required airworthiness limitations (Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4). EASA AD 2024-0247 also specifies procedures for replacement of affected THSAs and prohibits the installation of affected THSAs.</P>
                <P>This AD also requires Collins Aerospace Vendor Service Information Letter FA3T1-27-04, dated August 6, 2024, which provides a list of affected THSAs that were repaired at Collins Aerospace MRO facilities between 2014 and 2024 and released with incorrect authorized release certificates containing erroneous accumulated life values.</P>

                <P>This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and material referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Requirements of This AD</HD>
                <P>This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the material described previously, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Explanation of Required Compliance Information</HD>
                <P>
                    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, EASA AD 2024-0247 is incorporated by reference in this AD. This AD requires compliance with EASA AD 2024-0247 in its entirety through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2024-0247 does not mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to “all required actions and compliance times,” compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section titled “Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)” in EASA AD 2024-0247. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0247 for compliance will be available at 
                    <E T="03">regulations.gov</E>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective Date</HD>
                <P>
                    Section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551 
                    <E T="03">et seq.</E>
                    ) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency, for “good cause,” finds that those procedures are “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days, upon a finding of good cause.
                </P>
                <P>
                    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies forgoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because erroneous accumulated life 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9288"/>
                    values could significantly affect the operator's ability to accurately manage compliance with ADs and ALS Part 4 (airworthiness limitations) and cause operation of the THSA beyond the certificated life limit, which could result in failure of the THSA and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
                </P>
                <P>In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days, for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forgo notice and comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)</HD>
                <P>The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.</P>

                <P>The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.</P>

                    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the agency is required to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     before the provisions of a rule take effect. In addition, section 553(d) of the APA mandates a 30-day delay in the effective date after issuance or publication of a rule. However, to the extent that 5 U.S.C. 553 applies to this action, it is exempt from such requirements because it constitutes a rule of procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
                </P>
                <P>
                    Alternatively, HHS's implementation of this action without opportunity for public comment, effective immediately, is based on the good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3). Seeking public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. The temporary delay in the effective date until April 14, 2025, is necessary to give agency officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of the new regulation, consistent with the memorandum described previously. Given the imminence of the effective date and the brief length of the extension of the effective date, seeking prior public comment on this temporary delay would have been impracticable, as well as contrary to the public interest in the orderly promulgation and implementation of regulations. HHS also believes that affected entities need 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9290"/>
                    to be informed as soon as possible of the extension and its length in order to plan and adjust their implementation process accordingly.

                <P>
                    Moreover, we are cognizant that the final rule that appeared in the December 13, 2024, 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     (89 FR 100763) requires publication in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     of a correction document as a technical error was made in the calculation of the date of the 8-month transition period prior to full compliance with the retail pharmacy and Medicaid pharmacy subrogation standards. References in that final rule to August 11, 2027 should, instead, read June 11, 2027. The delay by virtue of this final rule will permit more time to publish those corrections, while also signaling the nature of those forthcoming corrections, thereby minimizing public confusion.
                </P>
                <P>
                    Consistent with the Presidential memorandum of January 20, 2025, “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review”, we are postponing for 60 days the effective date of the final rule that appeared in the December 13, 2024, 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     (89 FR 100763), for the purpose of reviewing any questions of fact, law, and policy. As a result, undertaking notice and comment procedures for this rule is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest, and we find good cause to waive the notice and comment requirements and the 30-day delay in the effective date. Based on these findings, this rule is effective immediately upon publication in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>

                    <P>The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the identification of an erroneous value of the main landing gear (MLG) tire width in the aircraft data files used for aircraft performance computation. This proposed AD would require revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to incorporate a complementary performance data file (CPDF) update as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.</P>

                <P>
                    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2024-0151, dated July 31, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0151) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. The MCAI states an erroneous value of the MLG tire width has been identified in the aircraft data files used for aircraft performance computation. The MLG tire width is used for the calculation of performance on contaminated runways (water, slush, dry snow, and wet snow runway states), especially for drag modelling. An erroneous value of the MLG tire width, if not corrected, could result in the erroneous calculation of certain data, including, but not limited to, takeoff

                <P>This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD 2024-0151 described previously, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Compliance With AFM Revisions</HD>
                <P>EASA AD 2024-0151 requires operators to “inform all flight crews” of revisions to the AFM, and thereafter to “operate the aeroplane accordingly.” However, this proposed AD does not specifically require those actions as those actions are already required by FAA regulations. FAA regulations require operators furnish to pilots any changes to the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 121.137), and to ensure the pilots are familiar with the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 91.505). As with any other flightcrew training requirement, training on the updated AFM content is tracked by the operators and recorded in each pilot's training record, which is available for the FAA to review. FAA regulations also require pilots to follow the procedures in the existing AFM including all updates. 14 CFR 91.9 requires that any person operating a civil aircraft must comply with the operating limitations specified in the AFM. Therefore, including a requirement in this proposed AD to operate the airplane according to the revised AFM would be redundant and unnecessary.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Explanation of Required Compliance Information</HD>
                <P>
                    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2024-0151 by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2024-0151 in its entirety through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2024-0151 does not mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to “all required actions and compliance times,” compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section titled “Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)” in EASA AD 2024-0151. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0151 for compliance will be available at 
                    <E T="03">regulations.gov</E>
                     under Docket No. FAA-2025-0197 after the FAA final rule is published.

                <P>Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.</P>
                <P>The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.</P>

                <P>The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.</P>
                <P>For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed regulation:</P>
                <P>(1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866,</P>
                <P>(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and</P>
                <P>(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.</P>

                    <P>The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that applied to all airplanes with certain Pacific Scientific Company rotary buckle assemblies (buckles) installed. This action revises the NPRM by expanding the applicability and updating the referenced material. As an option to the actions proposed by this SNPRM, this SNPRM would allow removing the male side from the lap of the restraint system assembly and installing a placard stating that use of the seat is prohibited; use of that crewmember seat or passenger seat would then be prohibited until the actions proposed by this SNPRM are accomplished and the male side from the lap of the restraint system assembly is reinstalled. The NPRM was prompted by a report of a manufacturing defect in the screws used inside the buckle; this SNPRM is prompted by the discovery that additional screws are affected by the unsafe condition. The FAA is proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions would impose an additional burden over that in the NPRM, the FAA is requesting comments on this SNPRM.</P>

                <P>
                    The FAA issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all airplanes with a Pacific Scientific Company buckle part number (P/N) 1111475 (all dash numbers) or P/N 1111548-01 installed, if the buckle was manufactured between January 2012 and September 2012 inclusive or has an unknown date of manufacture (DOM). The NPRM published in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     on February 29, 2024 (89 FR 14783). The NPRM was prompted by a report of a 2012 manufacturing defect in the screws used inside Pacific Scientific Company buckle P/N 1111475 (all dash numbers) and P/N 1111548-01. The screws used to fasten the load plate to the body of the buckle were found to be susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement due to improper baking during the electroplating process. This condition leads the screwhead to separate from the body of the screw when under load, which could result in the buckle failing to restrain the occupant to the seat. This condition was identified in screw Lots 348601-A and 348994-A, which were manufactured between January 2012 and September 2012, and were the first two lots of screws received by Pacific Scientific Company from a new supplier.
                </P>
                <P>In the NPRM for airplanes with the identified buckle, the FAA proposed to require inspecting each buckle screw for cracked, loose, and missing screw heads and, depending on the results, replacing the buckle or inspecting each screw to determine if any screw has a Torx head. Depending on the results of that screw inspection, the NPRM proposed to require reassembling the buckle (if necessary) and reidentifying it with “INS. A” or replacing each Torx head screw with a hex head screw, reassembling the buckle, and reidentifying the buckle with “MOD. A.” If a screw head broke off during disassembly, the NPRM proposed to require replacing the buckle with an airworthy buckle. Lastly, the NPRM proposed to prohibit installing an identified buckle unless it was marked with “MOD. A” or “INS. A.”</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued</HD>
                <P>Since the FAA issued the NPRM, further review by the manufacturer revealed that an additional lot of screws, Lot 358764-A, is also affected by the same unsafe condition, which expands the DOM to April 2013 inclusive. These same part-numbered buckles may also be installed in helicopters; the FAA published separate rulemaking, AD 2024-20-04, Amendment 39-22863 (89 FR 85040, October 25, 2024) (AD 2024-20-04), to address all helicopters with a Pacific Scientific Company buckle P/N 1111475 (all dash numbers) or P/N 1111548-01 having a DOM between January 2012 and April 2013 inclusive, or an unknown DOM installed.</P>
                <P>
                    Parker Meggitt also revised Service Bulletin (SB) 1111475-25-001-2023 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023, each Revision 001 and dated December 1, 2023 (SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 001 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 001), to SB 1111475-25-001-2023 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023, each Revision 002 and dated April 1, 2024 (SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 002 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 002). SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 002 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 002 specify the same procedures as SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 001 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 001, except SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 002 and SB 1111548-
                    <PRTPAGE P="9295"/>
                    25-001-2023 Rev 002 expand the applicability, update material and tooling information, add and clarify certain Accomplishment Instructions procedures, and update figures. A paragraph was added to this proposed AD to provide credit if certain actions were accomplished using SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 001 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 001.
                </P>
                <P>The subject matter has been updated to reflect both the Air Transport Assoction (ATA) and Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Codes.</P>
                <P>Additionally, based on comments received on AD 2024-01-11 questioning if the AD was a rotorcraft or appliance AD, the FAA has updated the project ID by adding the letters “A” and “T” to show the project types for this proposed action as small airplane and transport airplane in addition to the letter “Q” which signifies that the product type is appliance.</P>
                <P>The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Comments to the NPRM</HD>
                <P>The FAA received comments from nine commenters, including Air Canada, Airbus Atlantic, Airbus SAS, American Airlines, Boeing, Collins Aerospace, Delta Air Lines, Inc., Qatar Airways, and Southwest Airlines. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each relevant comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Clarification of the Applicability and Compliance Time</HD>
                <P>Air Canada, Collins Aerospace, and Qatar Airways requested clarification regarding the applicability and proposed AD compliance time. Commenters requested clarification regarding the proposed inspections and if the AD would require inspecting all buckles despite the DOM and if compliance with this AD would start with checking the applicability or by inspecting the screws.</P>
                <P>The FAA acknowledges these comments and infers concern that some buckles may be repaired or replaced unnecessarily due to the date of manufacture not being legible. Applicable part-numbered buckles with an illegible or missing DOM, including those that may have never been marked, are considered as having an unknown DOM for the purposes of this proposed AD and would be required to comply with the proposed AD requirements. Additionally, the proposed compliance time to accomplish the inspections is within 12 months after the AD's effective date; only if, as a result of the inspections, it is determined that a Torx head screw is installed, is replacing each Torx head screw is required before further flight. The DOM marking was added to buckle P/N 1111475 (all dash numbers) after the initial 2012 investigation while buckle P/N 1111548-01 has always been marked with the DOM. Additionally, part marking preservation and reidentification is the responsibility of operators. As regards to if the applicability applies to all buckles, the proposed AD has limited the applicibilty to certain buckles with a DOM between January 2012 and April 2013 or if the DOM is not legible.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Requests Regarding the Magnet Used for the Magnet Test</HD>
                <P>Southwest Airlines stated that the magnetism strength of the magnet is the representative physical quantity to determine if each screw has a Torx head or hex head in the magnet test. Airbus Atlantic and Southwest Airlines asked if Meggitt would provide more precise information concerning the magnet, particularly its magnetism strength. In addition, Airbus Atlantic requested that Meggitt specify the magnet as a special tool within the applicable Service Bulletin and provide the magnet to operators. Southwest Airlines commented that different magnets could lead to erroneous results.</P>
                <P>The FAA agrees that information regarding the magnet used for the magnet test is beneficial for accomplishing the proposed inspections. Since the NPRM was issued, SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 001 has been revised to Rev 002, to incorporate various changes, including the addition of a website link to magnet P/N 5862K104 under the Material Information, paragraph G.—Special Tooling. The website at this link provides various magnet specification information. SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 002 also recommends certain magnet dimensions and explains that a magnet that is strong enough to not slip off the buckle suffices for the purposes of the magnet test. The FAA does not agree that the use of different magnets could lead to erroneous results. If a magnet is not strong enough, the procedures require that a different inspection method is used. Regarding the request for Meggitt to provide a magnet, the FAA does not have the authority to require a manufacturer to send any tooling to an operator.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Clarification for Using the Magnet</HD>
                <P>Airbus SAS requested additional guidance for using the magnet and commented that during the magnet test to inspect for the type of screw, the magnet must be in the hands of the person in charge of the inspection at all times and not in proximity of any aircraft system.</P>
                <P>The FAA agrees that a magnet should not be in proximity to any aircraft system because magnets can cause damage to those systems. This is reasonably understood to be standard maintenance practice. We disagree with the statement that the magnet needs to always be in the hands of the person performing the inspections. No changes are made to this SNPRM as a result of this comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Clarification of the Torque Values and Tools Required</HD>
                <P>Airbus SAS requested clarification of the tools and the specified torque values required to complete the proposed actions. Airbus SAS state that torque values and dimensions of the thin metal stock should be provided.</P>
                <P>The FAA agrees and SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 001, as well as SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 001, were revised to Rev 002, to incorporate various changes, including the torque values, dimensions of the thin metal stock, and magnet specifications. The FAA has updated this SNPRM to reference revision 002 of the service bulletins.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Clarification of the Disassembly Inspection</HD>
                <P>Airbus SAS states a concern with foreign object debris inside the flight deck and proposes that any opening of the rotational buckle be done outside of the aircraft, in-shop, or in any facility approved by the suppler for this task.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees that the task must be performed outside the aircraft. These comments do not correct any proposed actions in the NPRM, and it is reasonably understood to be standard maintenance practices to maintain a clean workspace and proper tool containment to prevent foreign object debris. No changes were made to this SNPRM.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Clarification of the Visual Inspection</HD>
                <P>Airbus SAS commented that the risk of operator error in determining the screw head type based on the method described in the SB can be questioned due to limited visual access to the screws. Therefore, the proposed AD should emphasize that in case of any doubt, the operator shall confirm head types using either method #1 or method #3 (outside aircraft only).</P>
                <P>
                    The FAA disagrees with this comment. The FAA concluded the 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9296"/>
                    methods described in the SBs are appropriate for inspection of the screws. No changes are made in this SNPRM.
                </P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request for Clarification of the Applicability</HD>
                <P>American Airlines requested clarification regarding affected parts. They asked whether the FAA thinks there is a concern that any buckle with the applicable P/Ns may have had affected screws installed during repair and therefore all buckles with the affected part numbers must be inspected for screw installation and not DOM. American Airlines further states that they repair their associated restraint assemblies and they believe there may be a possibility of affected screws being installed on belts manufactured before or after the DOM provided in the applicability of the proposed AD and service information, though Parker Meggitt communicated to American Airlines that none of the lots of screws were shipped out individually as subcomponent spares orders and that screw replacement is uncommon.</P>
                <P>The FAA is not aware of any non-conforming screws installed in any buckle assemblies other than those identified in the applicability of this SNPRM. Accordingly, the FAA determines there is insufficient data at this time to support further expanding the applicability above what is proposed in this SNPRM. However, should additional information reveal otherwise, the FAA may consider further rulemaking to expand the applicability.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Reidentify Buckles With “INS A”</HD>
                <P>American Airlines commented that in the NPRM, paragraph 2.(g)(2)(ii) does not offer the same options as paragraph 2.(g)(1)(ii)(A) and (B) to determine if there are Torx head screws and reassemble the buckle if there are none. American Airlines requests that instructions similar to paragraph 2.(g)(1)(ii)(A) and (B) be added to paragraph 2.(g)(2)(ii) to allow the buckle to be reassembled and reidentified with “INS. A” if no Torx head screws are discovered. Parker Meggitt has communicated that SB 1111548-25-001-2023 will be revised with instructions to reidentify the buckle with “INS. A” if no Torx head screws are discovered.</P>
                <P>The FAA agrees, SB 1111548-25-001-2023 was revised to include additional steps to mark the buckle with “INS A” if the correct screws were installed and the FAA has revised this SNPRM accordingly.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Use Later-Approved Service Bulletins</HD>
                <P>American Airlines requests that the use of future revisions of the service bulletin to comply with the proposed AD be allowed.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees with the commenter's request. The FAA may not refer to any document that does not yet exist in an AD. In general terms, the FAA is required by Office of the Federal Register (OFR) regulations for approval of materials incorporated by reference, as specified in 1 CFR 51.1(f), to either publish the service document contents as part of the actual AD language; or submit the service document to the OFR for approval as referenced material, in which case the FAA may only refer to such material in the text of an AD. The AD may refer to the service document only if the OFR approved it for incorporation by reference.</P>
                <P>To allow operators to use later revisions of the referenced document (issued after publication of the AD), the FAA must either supersede the AD to reference specific later revisions, or operators must request approval to use later revisions as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) under the provisions of paragraph (j) of this proposed AD. No changes are made in this SNPRM.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Clarify Spare Parts</HD>
                <P>American Airlines stated that there are no actions for spare parts except that no affected parts should be installed after the effective date of the proposed AD. American Airlines requests that the FAA clarify if it was intentional that spare parts owned by the airline do not require inspection by the effective date.</P>
                <P>The FAA position is that spare buckles that have not been inspected or repaired are considered unairworthy and must not be installed on aircraft. Paragraph (h) of this proposed AD prohibits installing any affected buckle unless it is inspected or modified and the 12 month compliance time does not apply to spare parts. To the extent that spare parts may not be available to replace parts that fail the inspection requirements of this proposd AD, the FAA cannot base AD actions on parts availablilty. While every effort is made to avoid grounding aircraft, the FAA must address the unsafe condition. No changes are made in this SNPRM.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Change the Buckle Part Number</HD>
                <P>Airbus Atlantic, American Airlines, and Southwest Airlines requested that the design approval holder change the P/N of the buckle after completing the inspection or repair. The three commenters requested that newly-manufactured buckles be marked with a new P/N, “INS.A”, or a secondary method of markingto easily distinguish between potentially suspect buckles with Torx head and AD-compliant parts that have stainless steel hex heads. The commenters are concerned that lack of a differentiating P/N to suspect buckles will drive higher compliance risk to the operators. In addition, the commenters request changing to a more durable label on the P/N 1111475 series buckles because the current label with the part number and DOM wears prematurely, making the markings unreadable, and potentially increasing the number of inspections.</P>
                <P>The FAA acknowledges that the manufacturer introducing a new P/N for newly-manufactured parts is ideal; however, the FAA cannot mandate a company to change a P/N for an article. Applicable part-numbered buckles with an illegible or missing DOM, including those that may have never been marked, are considered as having an unknown DOM for the purposes of this proposed AD and would be required to comply with the proposed AD actions. The DOM marking was added to buckle P/N 1111475 (all dash numbers) after the initial 2012 investigation while buckle P/N 1111548-01 has always been marked with the DOM. Additionally, part marking preservation and reidentification is the responsibility of operators. No changes are made in this SNPRM.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Clarify the Proposed AD's Applicabilty</HD>
                <P>Boeing requested that the proposed AD's applicability include the DOM. Boeing states that, as writtern, paragraph (g) of the proposed AD could be confused to mean that all part-numbered buckles, regardless of DOM, would require an in-depth inspection and repair, or replacement.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees with this request because the applicability, as written, clearly specifies that AD applies to airplanes with specific part-numbered buckles with specific dates of manufacture or an unknown DOM; this SNPRM contains no changes in regard to the comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Clarify the Installation Prohibition</HD>
                <P>
                    Boeing requested the applicability be changed to account for buckles installed on airplanes manufactured after the date specified in the applicability. Boeing requested that airplanes with an original manufacture date after issuance of this proposed AD be exempt from the 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9297"/>
                    proposed required actions but still be required to comply with installation prohibition; Boeing stated that these airplanes would not have the suspected buckles installed.
                </P>
                <P>The FAA agrees, this proposed AD is for all airplanes with a certain buckle installed. Aircraft manufactured after April 2013 might not have the affected buckles installed, but an affected buckle might have been installed after delivery. Therefore, all aircraft must comply with the installation prohibition paragraph and not install an affected buckle. No changes are made in this SNPRM.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request to a Define Airworthy</HD>
                <P>Collins Aerospace requested a definition be added to the proposed AD to define an “airworthy” buckle as a buckle with a known DOM to be outside of DOM or repaired buckle that is within the DOM and includes the “MOD. A” etching.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees that a definition of airworthy is needed and made no changes to this SNPRM in that regard.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request to a Clarify Repairing a Buckle</HD>
                <P>Collins Aerospace and Delta Air Lines both requested that the FAA specifiy where a buckle can be repaired and questioned whether the buckle can be repaired instead of replaced. Delta Air Lines also requested that the statement “except you are not required to return any parts to Parker Meggitt” in paragraph (g)(1)(B) of the proposed AD be similarly added to paragraph (g)(1)(i) and (g)(2)(i) of the proposed AD.</P>
                <P>The FAA determination is that a repaired buckle is an airworthy buckle. The Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Referenced Material section also clarifies that this proposed AD would not require returning the buckle to Parker Meggitt. Although the service information requires returning buckles to Parker Meggitt, this proposed AD would not have this requirement because the FAA does not have the authority to direct operators to return defective components to the manufacturer in this proposed AD. If an operator chooses to return a damaged buckle to Parker Meggitt for repair as the proposed AD would not prohibit an operator from doing so. Operators may also request approval of any specific actions, including any specific corrective actions, as an AMOC under the provisions of paragraph (j) of this proposed AD. No changes in this regard are made in this SNPRM.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Update the Number of Affected Buckles and Date of Manufacture</HD>
                <P>Collins Aerospace requested that the number of affected buckles be updated in the Cost of Compliance and the DOM be changed in the applicability because the DOM has increased from September 2012 to April 2013.</P>
                <P>The FAA agrees and has included an updated number for the affected population and has changed DOM in the applicability from September 2012 to April 2013.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Include Link to Service Bulletin in Required Actions</HD>
                <P>Collins Aerospace requested a link to the service bulletin be provided in the required actions if a bulletin is referenced.</P>
                <P>
                    The FAA disagrees as links to referenced material are not provided in the required actions. The

                <P>American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Qatar Airways requested an extension of the compliance time ranging from 18-36 months due to spare lead times, maintenance program intervals, and fleet size.</P>
                <P>The FAA disagrees; the proposed 12-month compliance time was determined after factoring an estimated 12-month processing time before issuance of the final rule of this proposed AD and evaluating risks. According to the manufacturer, an ample number of spare parts and screws are in stock and will be available to modify the U.S. fleet within the proposed compliance time. To the extent that spare parts may not be available to replace parts that fail the inspection requirements of this proposd AD, the FAA cannot base AD actions on parts availablilty. While every effort is made to avoid grounding aircraft, the FAA must address the unsafe condition. The FAA did not make any changes to this SNPRM as a result of this comment.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Request To Replace the Buckle Instead of Complying With the AD</HD>
                <P>American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines requested an option to replace the buckle with an airworthy buckle instead of inspecting and repairing it. Southwest Airlines requested clarification of the FAA's position regarding deactivating non-operational seats per their approved MEL (Minimum Equipment List).</P>
                <P>The FAA agrees to clarify. It is understood that when an affected buckle is replaced with an airworthy buckle the AD no longer applies per the applicability paragraph. The FAA infers that Southwest Airlines is requesting the FAA change the AD to allow deactivating and placarding observer and flight attendant seats with affected parts as “inoperative”. The FAA agrees with the commenter's request and has added an optional action for the proposed AD requirements. This AD would allow, for a crewmember seat or passenger seat with a restraint system with an affected buckle installed, removing the male side from the lap of the restraint system assembly and fabricating and installing a placard on the seat stating that use of the seat is prohibited. Use of that crewmember seat or passenger seat would then be prohibited until the actions proposed by this SNPRM are accomplished and the male side from the lap of the restraint system assembly is reinstalled.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">FAA's Determination</HD>
                <P>The FAA is proposing this AD after determining the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design. Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a result, it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide additional opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM.</P>

                    The FAA reviewed SB 1111475-25-001-2023 Rev 002 for buckle P/N 1111475 and SB 1111548-25-001-2023 Rev 002 for buckle P/N 1111548-01. This material specifies procedures for inspecting the buckle for any missing or loose screw heads and, depending on the results, replacing the buckle and sending the removed buckle to Parker Meggitt for repair or replacement. If after that first inspection, all of the screw heads are intact, this material specifies procedures for inspecting the buckle for any Torx head screws (alloy steel) and, depending on the results, allowing the buckle assembly to remain in-service temporarily, replacing any Torx head screws (alloy steel) with new hex head screws (stainless steel), and checking the functionality of the buckle.

                <P>This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in the material described previously, except as discussed under “Differences Between this SNPRM and the Referenced Material.”</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Differences Between This SNPRM and the Referenced Material</HD>
                <P>The material proposed for incorporation by reference does not specify any compliance times, whereas this proposed AD would require accomplishing the required actions within twelve months. This proposed AD would also prohibit installing an affected buckle on any airplane unless the buckle includes “MOD A” or “INS A” on the buckle as of the effective date of this AD.</P>
                <P>The material proposed for incorporation by reference specifies sending any damaged buckles to Parker Meggitt for repair or replacement, and this proposed AD would not. Instead, this proposed AD would require replacing the buckle with an airworthy buckle.</P>
                <P>The material proposed for incorporation by reference allows buckles with a Torx head (alloy steel) screw to remain in service temporarily and be replaced at a time convenient to the operator, and this proposed AD would not. If a buckle has any number of Torx head (alloy steel) screws installed, this proposed AD would require replacing all four screws with hex head screws before further flight.</P>
                <P>If a screw head breaks off during disassembly of a buckle or if reassembly of a buckle is not possible, the material proposed for incorporation by reference specifies returning the buckle to Parker Meggitt, whereas this proposed AD would not. If a screw head breaks off during disassembly, this proposed AD would require replacing the buckle with an airworthy buckle. If reassembly of a buckle is not possible, then the buckle is not airworthy.</P>
                <P>This proposed AD has the optional action, for a crewmember seat or passenger seat with a restraint system with an affected buckle installed, within 12 months after the effective date, of removing the male side from the lap of the restraint system assembly and fabricating and installing a placard on the seat stating that use of the seat is prohibited. Use of that crewmember seat or passenger seat would then be prohibited until the actions required by this proposed AD are accomplished and the male side from the lap of the restraint system assembly is reinstalled. The material proposed for incorporation by reference does not include this optional action.</P>

                <P>The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 21,313 buckles installed on restraint systems in aircraft worldwide. The FAA has no way of knowing the number of airplanes of U.S. Registry that may have a restraint system with an affected buckle installed. The estimated costs on U.S. operators reflects the maximum possible costs based on affected buckles installed on restraint systems in aircraft worldwide. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:</P>

                <P>The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.</P>

                     Agricultural Surveys Program—Substantive Change.
                </P>
                <P>

                    <E T="03">Summary of Collection:</E>
                     General authority for these data collection activities is granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies that “The Secretary of Agriculture shall procure and preserve all information concerning agriculture which he can obtain . . . by the collection of statistics. . .”. The primary objective of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to provide data users with timely and reliable agricultural production and economic statistics, as well as environmental and specialty agricultural related statistics. To accomplish this objective, NASS relies on the use of diverse surveys that show changes within the farming industry over time.
                </P>
                <P>The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the Agricultural Surveys Program information collection request (OMB No. 0535-0213) for changes to the June Area Survey as well as reinstate the annual July Cattle Survey. The proposed changes to the methodology and data collection are proposed to increase cost efficiency while sustaining public data products. The changes in this request increases burden hours.</P>
                <P>
                    <E T="03">Need and Use of the Information:</E>
                     The surveys provide the basis for estimates of the current season's crop and livestock production and supplies of grain in storage. Crop and livestock statistics help develop a stable economic atmosphere and reduce risk for production, marketing, and distribution operations. These commodities affect the well being of the nation's farmers, commodities markets, and national and global agricultural policy. Users of agricultural statistics are farm organizations, agribusiness, state and national farm policy makers, and foreign buyers of agricultural products but the primary user of the statistical information is the producer. Agricultural statistics are also used to plan and administer other related federal and state programs in such areas as school lunch program, conservation, foreign trade, education, and recreation. Collecting the information less frequent would eliminate needed data to keep the government and agricultural industry abreast of changes at the state and national levels.

                <P>SITC officials use the information in SNICAS to identify and close pathways used for the introduction of prohibited commodities and those regulated commodities that lack the necessary certificates and permits to enter U.S. commerce. SITC officials also use SNICAS to perform activities such as legal and regulatory actions; scientific research; risk, trend, pathway and targeting analyses; trade support; administrative and budgetary support; supervision and program management; and overall decision support services. Additionally, SITC officials use SNICAS to generate reports to evaluate the risk status of the commercial sites where regulated commodities are seized, the effectiveness of the program, and quality control of the data.</P>
                <P>APHIS will share information from the system pursuant to the requirements of the Privacy Act and, in the case of its routine uses, when the disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the information was compiled. However, the notice allowed for the exemption of specific records in the system from certain Privacy Act requirements in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) (Investigative Law Enforcement Materials). APHIS exempted the system from Privacy Act access requirements including 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1); (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I); and (f), and indicated that an individual who is the subject of a record in this system may not seek access to those records that are exempt from the access provisions. A determination of whether a record may be accessed would be made at the time a request is received.</P>

                     the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), U.S. Department of Commerce, through its Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”), has requested the issuance of an Order temporarily denying, for a period of 180 days, the export privileges under the Regulations of: Kirill Gordei (“Gordei”), Apelsin Logistics Inc. (“Apelsin”), FC Marakanda 7777 LLC (“Marakanda”), Alinda Chemical Trade Company LTD (“Alinda”), Element Uluslararasi Nakliyat Ve Lojistick Tic. LTD (“Element”), Astec Astronomy FZCO (“Astec”), and AvioChem (collectively, the “Respondents”). OEE's request and related information indicate that these parties are located at the respective addresses listed on the caption page of this order. The OEE investigation has shown that Gordei, through his Florida-based freight forwarding company Apelsin, has facilitated the transshipment of U.S.-origin goods to Russia by communicating with parties in Russia and Türkiye to instruct them on how to circumvent U.S. export controls, falsifying shipping documentation, and utilizing freight forwarders located abroad in order to transship items to Russia.

                         The Regulations, currently codified at 15 CFR parts 730 through 774 (2025), were originally issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 4601-4623 (Supp. III 2015) (“EAA”), which lapsed on August 21, 2001. The President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as extended by successive Presidential Notices, continued the Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701,

                         (2012)) (“IEEPA”). On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which includes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 50 U.S.C. 4801-4852 (“ECRA”). While section 1766 of ECRA repeals the provisions of the EAA (except for three sections which are inapplicable here), section 1768 of ECRA provides, in pertinent part, that all orders, rules, regulations, and other forms of administrative action that were made or issued under the EAA, including as continued in effect pursuant to IEEPA, and were in effect as of ECRA's date of enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked through action undertaken pursuant to the authority provided under ECRA. Moreover, section 1761(a)(5) of ECRA authorizes the issuance of temporary denial orders.

                    Pursuant to section 766.24, BIS may issue an order temporarily denying a respondent's export privileges upon a showing that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an “imminent violation” of the Regulations. 15 CFR 766.24(b)(1) and 766.24(d). “A violation may be `imminent' either in time or degree of likelihood.” 15 CFR 766.24(b)(3).

                <P>The U.S. Commerce Department, through BIS, responded to the Russian Federation's (“Russia's”) further invasion of Ukraine by implementing a sweeping series of stringent export controls that severely restrict Russia's access to technologies and other items that it needs to sustain its aggressive military capabilities. These controls primarily target Russia's defense, aerospace, and maritime sectors and are intended to cut off Russia's access to vital technological inputs, atrophy key sectors of its industrial base, and undercut Russia's strategic ambitions to exert influence on the world stage.</P>

                <P>OEE has presented evidence that on or about August 4, 2023, Gordei, who at all relevant times was the President of Apelsin, was provided falsified shipping documents from an individual associated with Alinda (hereinafter “Individual 1”) for the purposes of shipping the Mass Spectrometer to Russia. The Mass Spectrometer was purchased from a U.S. company located in California (hereinafter “U.S. Company 1”) by Marakanda. Individual 1 informed Gordei that this type of item requires a BIS export license to Russia otherwise it would be detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). Moreover, Individual 1 instructed Gordei that U.S. Company 1 should not be reflected in the documents and instead provided Gordei with at least two sets of falsified shipping documentation, including false commercial invoices reflecting two different, unrelated, U.S. companies as the sellers. These documents also reflected that the Mass Spectrometer would be shipped to Element, in Türkiye.</P>
                <P>
                    On or about August 21, 2023, through on or about August 25, 2023, Gordei 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9307"/>
                    arranged the transshipment of the Mass Spectrometer from Element in Türkiye to a company operating in Moscow, Russia. After informing Element that the “real” ultimate consignee for the shipment was located in Moscow, Russia, Gordei provided Element with the falsified shipping documentation, and confirmed to Individual 1 that Element agreed to transship the item to the consignee located in Moscow. This consignee was listed at the same address as Alinda and likely served as front or fictitious name for Alinda.
                </P>
                <P>Gordei and Apelsin then directed a U.S.-based freight forwarder to file Electronic Export Information using the falsified documents. These documents falsely stated that Marakanda in Uzbekistan was the ultimate consignee, with the shipment to be routed initially to Element in Türkiye. On or about August 28, 2023, Element sent an email to Gordei advising him that the estimated departure date of the Mass Spectrometer from Türkiye to Russia was going to be August 29, 2023, and attached an air waybill issued by a Russian airline. Customs data obtained by OEE indicates that the items were imported into Russia on or about September 13, 2023.</P>

                <P>
                    OEE provided evidence that Gordei, Apelsin, and Element were also involved in further attempts to transship items to Russia, frequently using falsified shipping documents. On or about September 14, 2023, OEE special agents detained an ocean shipment destined to the U.A.E. that contained three (3) consolidated shipments consisting of diesel engine parts and agriculture tractor parts. Gordei and Apelsin arranged for the shipment of these items through a U.S. freight forwarder. OEE determined that this shipment was ultimately destined to a company located in Moscow, Russia, and that the shipment required a license from BIS for export to Russia because the items were EAR99 but classified by an HTS code that appears on Supplement no. 4 to Part 746 of the EAR.

Gordei and Apelsin arranged for the shipment to be exported using a U.S. freight forwarder based in Miami, Florida. The shipping documentation listed Element, in Türkiye, as the ultimate consignee, and an unrelated U.S. company as the seller (“U.S. Company 2”). U.S. Company 2 confirmed to OEE agents that the shipping documentation, including a commercial invoice, had been falsified and the items were not sold by U.S. Company 2. The shipment was ultimately seized by CBP under suspicion of violations of export control laws.</P>

In the shipment's EEI, Apelsin was listed as the freight forwarder, while Astec in Dubai, U.A.E. was listed as the ultimate consignee. Investigation by OEE revealed Astec has previously sourced other aircraft parts from companies located in the United States, and that quotes for these items came from an individual associated with Astec and AvioChem, in Belgrade, Serbia.

                <HD SOURCE="HD2">D. Risk of Imminent Violation</HD>
                <P>Since the implementation of enhanced licensing requirements imposed on exports to Russia on February 24, 2022, OEE has investigated eight (8) exports or attempted exports worth approximately $1.2 million involving the Respondents that were either suspected to be destined to Russia or imported into Russia. Because Gordei and Apelsin usually hire a separate, unrelated, freight forwarder in the U.S. to handle the exportation of goods, Apelsin does not appear on the EEI filing as a party to the transaction, which obfuscates Gordei's and Apelsin's export history. Gordei and Apelsin also provide falsified documents to these U.S. freight forwarders, while knowingly arranging the transshipment of the items to Russia once exported. It is therefore OEE's belief that Apelsin and Gordei are likely involved in violations of the EAR additional to those detailed herein. This belief is supported by customs data from both the U.S. and Russia demonstrating the Respondents as exporters and consignees of numerous shipments destined to Russia.</P>
                <P>On April 23, 2024, Gordei, the President of Apelsin, was indicted in the District of Massachusetts and charged with one count of conspiracy (18 U.S.C. 371), one count of violation of the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4819(a)(1)), and one count of smuggling (18 U.S.C. 554(a)). Gordei has been released pre-trial. Given the conduct detailed in OEE's request, including Gordei's and Apelsin's deliberate obfuscation of involvement in the transshipment of items to Russia, it is OEE's belief that despite Gordei's arrest, he and Apelsin, and the remaining respondents who are located abroad, continue to present an imminent risk of violation of the EAR.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">III. Findings</HD>
                <P>Under the applicable standard set forth in section 766.24 of the Regulations and my review of the entire record, I find that the evidence presented by BIS convincingly demonstrates that the Respondents have acted in violation of the Regulations; that such violations have been significant and deliberate; and that given the foregoing and the nature of the matters under investigation, there is a likelihood of imminent violations. Therefore, the TDO is necessary in the public interest to prevent imminent violation of the Regulations and to give notice to companies and individuals in the United States and abroad that they should avoid dealing with the Respondents, in connection with export and reexport transactions involving items subject to the Regulations and in connection with any other activity subject to the Regulations.</P>

                    On October 11, 2023, the CIT remanded the First Redetermination and ordered Commerce to either: (1) determine a new margin for the SGRE/Windar collapsed entity that would “substitute” for the rate calculated for Windar in the original investigation; or (2) reverse its collapsing decision with regard to SGRE and Windar and submit a new rate for SGRE, while leaving standing the rate calculated for Windar.

                     On January 24, 2025, Commerce published its revocation of the 
                    <E T="03">Order</E>

                    <FTREF/>
                     Thus, Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to subject merchandise produced and exported by Vinh Hoan because there is no further basis for conducting an administrative review of the

                     for the POR with respect to such merchandise. Consistent with Vinh Hoan's revocation, Commerce will continue to review entries where Vinh Hoan was the exporter but not the producer of subject merchandise or where Vinh Hoan was the producer but not the exporter of subject merchandise to the extent the relevant exporter is subject to our ongoing review, as applicable.

                <P>In accordance with section 702(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the petitioner alleges that the Government of China (GOC) is providing countervailable subsidies, within the meaning of sections 701 and 771(5) of the Act, to producers of temporary steel fencing in China, and that such imports are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the domestic industry producing temporary steel fencing in the United States. Consistent with section 702(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.202(b), for those alleged programs on which we are initiating a CVD investigation, the Petition was accompanied by information reasonably available to the petitioner supporting its allegations.</P>
                <P>
                    Commerce finds that the petitioner filed the Petition on behalf of the domestic industry, because the petitioner is an interested party, as defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. Commerce also finds that the petitioner demonstrated sufficient industry support with respect to the initiation of the requested CVD investigation.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Determination of Industry Support for the Petition</HD>
                <P>Section 702(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on behalf of the domestic industry. Section 702(c)(4)(A) of the Act provides that a petition meets this requirement if the domestic producers or workers who support the petition account for: (i) at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition. Moreover, section 702(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling method to poll the “industry.”</P>
                <P>
                    Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines the “industry” as the producers as a whole of a domestic like product. Thus, to determine whether a petition has the requisite industry support, the statute directs Commerce to look to producers and workers who produce the domestic like product. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), which is responsible for determining whether “the domestic industry” has been injured, must also determine what constitutes a domestic like product in order to define the industry. While both Commerce and the ITC apply the same statutory definition regarding the domestic like product,
                    <SU>14</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     they do so for different purposes and pursuant to a separate and distinct authority. In addition, Commerce's determination is subject to limitations of time and information. Although this may result in different definitions of the like product, such differences do not render the decision of either agency contrary to law.

To establish industry support, the petitioner provided the 2024 production of the domestic like product for the U.S. producers that support the Petition and compared this to the estimated total production of the domestic like product in 2024 by the entire U.S. temporary steel fencing industry.

                <P>
                    Our review of the data provided in the Petition and other information readily available to Commerce indicates that the petitioner has established industry support for the Petition.

                    <FTREF/>
                     First, the Petition established support from domestic producers (or workers) accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product and, as such, Commerce is not 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9313"/>
                    required to take further action in order to evaluate industry support (

                     Second, the domestic producers (or workers) have met the statutory criteria for industry support under section 702(c)(4)(A)(i) of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) who support the Petition account for at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product.
                    <SU>22</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Finally, the domestic producers (or workers) have met the statutory criteria for industry support under section 702(c)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) who support the Petition account for more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the Petition.

                    The petitioner alleges that imports of the subject merchandise are benefiting from countervailable subsidies and that such imports are causing, or threaten to cause, material injury to the U.S. industry producing the domestic like product. In addition, the petitioner alleges that subject imports from China exceed the negligibility threshold provided for under section 771(24)(A) of the Act.

                <P>
                    The petitioner contends that the industry's injured condition is illustrated by the significant volume and market share of subject imports; underselling and price depression and/or suppression; lost sales and revenues; and declines in the domestic industry's production, capacity utilization, employment variables, and financial performances.

                <P>Based upon the examination of the Petition and supplemental responses, we find that they meet the requirements of section 702 of the Act. Therefore, we are initiating a CVD investigation to determine whether imports of temporary steel fencing from China benefit from countervailable subsidies conferred by the GOC. In accordance with section 703(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), unless postponed, we will make our preliminary determination no later than 65 days after the date of this initiation.</P>

                    Based on our review of the Petition, we find that there is sufficient information to initiate a CVD investigation on 28 of the 30 programs alleged by the petitioner. For a full discussion of the basis for our decision to initiate on each program,

                <P>
                    In the Petition, the petitioner identified over 150 companies in China as producers and/or exporters of temporary steel fencing.
                    <SU>28</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Commerce intends to follow its standard practice in CVD investigations and calculate company-specific subsidy rates in this investigation. In the event that Commerce determines that the number of companies is large and it cannot individually examine each company based on Commerce's resources, Commerce intends to select mandatory respondents based on quantity and value (Q&amp;V) questionnaires issued to the potential respondents. Commerce normally selects mandatory respondents in CVD investigations using U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry data for U.S. imports under the appropriate Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading(s) listed in the “Scope of the Investigation” in the appendix. However, for these investigations, the main HTSUS subheading under which the subject merchandise would enter (7308.90.9590) is a basket category under which non-subject merchandise may also enter. Therefore, we cannot rely on CBP entry data in selecting respondents. Notwithstanding the decision to rely on Q&amp;V questionnaires for respondent selection, due to the large number of producers and/or exporters identified in the Petition, Commerce has determined to limit the number of Q&amp;V questionnaires that it will issue to exporters and producers based on CBP data for temporary steel fencing from China during the POI under the appropriate HTSUS subheading listed in the “Scope of the Investigation,” in the appendix.

                    <HD SOURCE="HD1">Scope of the Investigation</HD>
                    <P>The merchandise subject to this investigation is temporary steel fencing. Temporary steel fencing consists of temporary steel fence panels and temporary steel fence stands. Temporary steel fence panels, when assembled with temporary steel fence stands or other types of stands outside of the scope, with each other, or with posts, create a free-standing fence. Temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of whether they attach to a stand or the type of stand to which they connect.</P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fence panels have a welded frame of steel tubing and an interior consisting of chain link, steel wire mesh, or other steel materials that are not more than 10 millimeters in actual diameter or width. The steel tubing may surround all edges of the temporary steel fence panel or only be attached along two parallel sides of the panel. All temporary steel fence panels with at least two framed sides are covered by the scope, regardless of the number of edges framed with steel tubing.</P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fence panels are typically between 10 and 12 feet long and six to eight feet high, though all temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of dimension or weight as long as a single panel is over six square feet in actual surface area and weighs more than four pounds. Temporary steel fence panels may be square, rectangular, or have rounded edges, and may or may not have gates, doors, wheels, or barbed wire or other features, though all temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of shape and other features. Temporary steel fence panels may have one or more horizontal, vertical, or diagonal reinforcement tubes made of steel welded to the inside frame, though all temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of the existence, number, or type of reinforcement tubes attached to the panel. Temporary steel fence panels may have extensions, pins, tubes, or holes at the bottom of the panel, but all temporary steel fence panels are covered regardless of the existence of such features.</P>
                    <P>
                        Steel fence stands are shapes made of steel that stand flat on the ground and have one or two open tubes or solid pins into which temporary steel fence panels are inserted to stand erect. The steel fence stand may be made of welded steel tubing or may be a flat 
                        <PRTPAGE P="9315"/>
                        steel plate with one or two tubes or pins welded onto the plate for connecting the panels.
                    </P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fencing is covered by the scope regardless of coating, painting, or other finish. Both temporary steel fence panels and temporary steel fence stands are covered by the scope, whether imported assembled or unassembled, and whether imported together or separately.</P>
                    <P>Subject merchandise includes material matching the above description that has been finished, assembled, or packaged in a third country, including by coating, painting, assembling, attaching to, or packaging with another product, or any other finishing, assembly, or packaging operation that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the temporary steel fencing.</P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fencing is included in the scope of this investigation whether or not imported attached to, or in conjunction with, other parts and accessories such as posts, hooks, rings, brackets, couplers, clips, connectors, handles, brackets, or latches. If temporary steel fencing is imported attached to, or in conjunction with, such non-subject merchandise, only the temporary steel fencing is included in the scope.</P>
                    <P>Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under the subheading 7308.90.9590. Subject merchandise may also enter under subheadings 7326.90.8688 and 7323.99.9080 of the HTSUS. The HTSUS subheadings set forth above are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs purposes only. The written description of the scope is dispositive.</P>

                <P>
                    On October 18, 2023, Commerce initiated a review of the AD order on fish fillets from Vietnam

                    <FTREF/>
                     for the period of review (POR) August 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023.
                    <SU>3</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     On January 24, 2025, Commerce published its revocation of the 
                    <E T="03">Order</E>
                     with respect to Vinh Hoan as an exporter and producer of subject merchandise, effective August 1, 2021.

                    <FTREF/>
                     Thus, Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to subject merchandise produced and exported by Vinh Hoan because there is no further basis for conducting an administrative review of the 
                    <E T="03">Order</E>
                     for the POR with respect to such merchandise. Consistent with Vinh Hoan's revocation, Commerce will continue to review entries where Vinh Hoan was the exporter but not the producer of subject merchandise or where Vinh Hoan was the producer but not the exporter of subject merchandise to the extent the relevant exporter is subject to our ongoing review, as applicable.

                    Commerce finds that the petitioner filed the Petition on behalf of the domestic industry, because the petitioner is an interested party, as defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. Commerce also finds that the petitioner demonstrated sufficient industry support for the initiation of the requested LTFV investigation.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Determination of Industry Support for the Petition</HD>
                <P>Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on behalf of the domestic industry. Section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act provides that a petition meets this requirement if the domestic producers or workers who support the petition account for: (i) at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition. Moreover, section 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling method to poll the “industry.”</P>
                <P>
                    Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines the “industry” as the producers as a whole of a domestic like product. Thus, to determine whether a petition has the 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9317"/>
                    requisite industry support, the statute directs Commerce to look to producers and workers who produce the domestic like product. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), which is responsible for determining whether “the domestic industry” has been injured, must also determine what constitutes a domestic like product in order to define the industry. While both Commerce and the ITC apply the same statutory definition regarding the domestic like product,
                    <SU>12</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     they do so for different purposes and pursuant to a separate and distinct authority. In addition, Commerce's determination is subject to limitations of time and information. Although this may result in different definitions of the like product, such differences do not render the decision of either agency contrary to law.

                    In determining whether the petitioner has standing under section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act, we considered the industry support data contained in the Petition with reference to the domestic like product as defined in the “Scope of the Investigation,” in the appendix to this notice. To establish industry support, the petitioner provided the 2024 production of the domestic like product for the U.S. producers that support the Petition and compared this to the estimated total production of the domestic like product in 2024 by the entire U.S. temporary steel fencing industry.

                <P>
                    Our review of the data provided in the Petition and other information readily available to Commerce indicates that the petitioner has established industry support for the Petition.
                    <SU>18</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     First, the Petition established support from domestic producers (or workers) accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product and, as such, Commerce is not required to take further action in order to evaluate industry support (
                    <E T="03">e.g.,</E>

                     Second, the domestic producers (or workers) have met the statutory criteria for industry support under section 732(c)(4)(A)(i) of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) who support the Petition account for at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product.

                     Finally, the domestic producers (or workers) have met the statutory criteria for industry support under section 732(c)(4)(A)(ii) of the Act because the domestic producers (or workers) who support the Petition account for more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the Petition.

                    The petitioner alleges that the U.S. industry producing the domestic like product is being materially injured, or is threatened with material injury, by reason of the imports of the subject merchandise sold at LTFV. In addition, the petitioner alleges that subject imports from China exceed the negligibility threshold provided for under section 771(24)(A) of the Act.

                    The petitioner contends that the industry's injured condition is illustrated by the significant volume and market share of subject imports; underselling and price depression and/or suppression; lost sales and revenues; and declines in the domestic industry's production, capacity utilization, employment variables, and financial performance.

                    <FTREF/>
                     Our standard practice for respondent selection in AD investigations involving NME countries is to select respondents based on quantity and value (Q&amp;V) questionnaires in cases where Commerce has determined that the number of companies is large, and it cannot individually examine each company based upon its resources. Therefore, considering the number of producers and/or exporters identified in the Petition, Commerce will solicit Q&amp;V information that can serve as a basis for selecting exporters for individual examination in the event that Commerce determines that the number is large and decides to limit the number of respondents individually examined pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Because there are over 150 Chinese producers and/or exporters identified in the Petition, Commerce has determined that it will issue Q&amp;V questionnaires to the largest producers and/or exporters in China that are identified in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection POI entry data for which there is complete address information on the record.

                <P>
                    In order to obtain separate rate status in an NME investigation, exporters and producers must submit a separate rate application. The specific requirements for submitting a separate rate application in an NME investigation are outlined in detail in the application itself, which is available on Commerce's website at 
                    <E T="03">https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html.</E>
                     Note that Commerce recently promulgated new regulations pertaining to separate rates, including the separate rate application deadline and eligibility for separate rate status, in 19 CFR 351.108.
                    <SU>36</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.108(d)(1), the separate rate application will be due 21 days after publication of this initiation notice.
                    <SU>37</SU>
                    <FTREF/>
                     Exporters and producers must file a timely separate rate application if they want to be considered for individual examination. In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.108(e), exporters and producers who submit a separate rate application and have been selected as mandatory respondents will be eligible for consideration for separate rate status only if they fully respond to all parts of Commerce's AD questionnaire and participate in the LTFV proceeding as mandatory respondents.

                     Commerce requires that companies from China submit a response both to the Q&amp;V questionnaire and to the separate rate application by the respective deadlines to receive consideration for separate rate status. Companies not filing a timely Q&amp;V questionnaire response will not receive separate rate consideration.

                        {w}hile continuing the practice of assigning separate rates only to exporters, all separate rates that {Commerce} will now assign in its NME investigation will be specific to those producers that supplied the exporter during the period of investigation. Note, however, that one rate is calculated for the exporter and all of the producers which supplied subject merchandise to it during the period of investigation. This practice applies both to mandatory respondents receiving an individually calculated separate rate as well as the pool of non-investigated firms receiving the {weighted average} of the individually calculated rates. This practice is referred to as the application of “combination rates” because such rates apply to specific combinations of exporters and one or more producers. The cash-deposit rate assigned to an exporter will apply only to merchandise both exported by the firm in question

                    <HD SOURCE="HD1">Scope of the Investigation</HD>
                    <P>The merchandise subject to this investigation is temporary steel fencing. Temporary steel fencing consists of temporary steel fence panels and temporary steel fence stands. Temporary steel fence panels, when assembled with temporary steel fence stands or other types of stands outside of the scope, with each other, or with posts, create a free-standing fence. Temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of whether they attach to a stand or the type of stand to which they connect.</P>
                    <P>
                        Temporary steel fence panels have a welded frame of steel tubing and an interior 
                        <PRTPAGE P="9320"/>
                        consisting of chain link, steel wire mesh, or other steel materials that are not more than 10 millimeters in actual diameter or width. The steel tubing may surround all edges of the temporary steel fence panel or only be attached along two parallel sides of the panel. All temporary steel fence panels with at least two framed sides are covered by the scope, regardless of the number of edges framed with steel tubing.
                    </P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fence panels are typically between 10 and 12 feet long and six to eight feet high, though all temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of dimension or weight as long as a single panel is over six square feet in actual surface area and weighs more than four pounds. Temporary steel fence panels may be square, rectangular, or have rounded edges, and may or may not have gates, doors, wheels, or barbed wire or other features, though all temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of shape and other features. Temporary steel fence panels may have one or more horizontal, vertical, or diagonal reinforcement tubes made of steel welded to the inside frame, though all temporary steel fence panels are covered by the scope regardless of the existence, number, or type of reinforcement tubes attached to the panel. Temporary steel fence panels may have extensions, pins, tubes, or holes at the bottom of the panel, but all temporary steel fence panels are covered regardless of the existence of such features.</P>
                    <P>Steel fence stands are shapes made of steel that stand flat on the ground and have one or two open tubes or solid pins into which temporary steel fence panels are inserted to stand erect. The steel fence stand may be made of welded steel tubing or may be a flat steel plate with one or two tubes or pins welded onto the plate for connecting the panels.</P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fencing is covered by the scope regardless of coating, painting, or other finish. Both temporary steel fence panels and temporary steel fence stands are covered by the scope, whether imported assembled or unassembled, and whether imported together or separately.</P>
                    <P>Subject merchandise includes material matching the above description that has been finished, assembled, or packaged in a third country, including by coating, painting, assembling, attaching to, or packaging with another product, or any other finishing, assembly, or packaging operation that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the temporary steel fencing.</P>
                    <P>Temporary steel fencing is included in the scope of this investigation whether or not imported attached to, or in conjunction with, other parts and accessories such as posts, hooks, rings, brackets, couplers, clips, connectors, handles, brackets, or latches. If temporary steel fencing is imported attached to, or in conjunction with, such non-subject merchandise, only the temporary steel fencing is included in the scope.</P>
                    <P>Merchandise covered by this investigation is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under the subheading 7308.90.9590. Subject merchandise may also enter under subheadings 7326.90.8688 and 7323.99.9080 of the HTSUS. The HTSUS subheadings set forth above are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs purposes only. The written description of the scope is dispositive.</P>

                     Nagase filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) challenging certain aspects of Commerce's

                     including: (1) Commerce's inclusion of certain research and development (R&amp;D) expenses unrelated to Nagase's costs of producing glycine; (2) Commerce's inclusion of compensation for payment expenses; and (3) Commerce's refusal to modify the importer-specific AD assessment rate calculated for Nagase's affiliated importer. On April 11, 2023, the CIT sustained, in part, and remanded, in part, Commerce's final results.

                <SUBJECT>Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage Proposed Capital Area Project</SUBJECT>
                <P>The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental document, that will discuss the environmental impacts of the Capital Area Project involving construction and operation of facilities by Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage (EGTS), in Clinton, Centre and Franklin Counties, Pennsylvania, and Loudoun County, Virginia. The Commission will use this environmental document in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.</P>
                <P>
                    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies regarding the project. As part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This gathering of public input is referred to as “scoping.” The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the environmental document on the important environmental issues. Additional information about the Commission's NEPA process is described below in the 
                    <E T="03">NEPA Process and Environmental Document</E>
                     section of this notice.
                </P>
                <P>
                    By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 6, 2025. Comments may be submitted in written form. Further details on how to submit comments are provided in the 
                    <E T="03">Public Participation</E>
                     section of this notice.
                </P>
                <P>Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document. Commission staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the environment document.</P>
                <P>If you submitted comments on this project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on December 23, 2024, you would need to file those comments in Docket No. CP25-29-000 to ensure they are considered as part of this proceeding.</P>
                <P>This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental mailing list for this project. State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.</P>
                <P>If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these matters.</P>
                <P>
                    EGTS provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” which addresses typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Summary of the Proposed Project</HD>
                <P>The proposed project is known as the Capital Area Project (Project) and would enable EGTS to deliver an additional 67,500 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of natural gas from an existing upstream pipeline interconnect in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, for delivery to local natural gas utilities in Frederick County, Maryland, and Loudoun County, Virginia. The Project would increase natural gas capacity on EGTS' existing PL-1 pipeline system through the addition of compression and facility modifications at its existing Finnefrock, Centre, and Chambersburg Compressor Stations in Pennsylvania and Leesburg Compressor Station in Virginia.</P>
                <P>Specifically, the Project would consist of the following modifications to EGTS facilities:</P>
                <P>• adding one 6,130 horsepower (hp) gas-fired turbine compressor unit and ancillary facilities at Centre Compressor Station in Centre County, Pennsylvania;</P>
                <P>• adding one 11,110 hp gas-fired turbine compressor unit and installing ancillary facilities at Chambersburg Compressor Station in Franklin County, Pennsylvania;</P>
                <P>• adding one 5,000 hp electric-driven compressor unit and ancillary facilities at Leesburg Compressor Station in Loudoun County, Virginia; and</P>
                <P>• replacing gas coolers and headers and cold recycle piping, and installing new check valves, at Finnefrock Compressor Station in Clinton County, Pennsylvania.</P>
                <P>
                    The Project Location Overview of the facilities is shown in appendix 1.

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">Land Requirements for Construction</HD>
                <P>The Project would require the use of a total of 64.0 acres of land during construction, of which 42.5 acres would be permanent impacts. At the Centre, Leesburg, and Finnefrock Compressor Stations, all Project modifications and facility components would be installed within the fenced boundary of the existing stations. Overall, construction would require the use of about 33.7 acres within existing station fence lines, 23.8 acres of adjacent land that would be used for temporary construction workspace outside the existing facilities, and 6.6 acres of land for the expansion of the Chambersburg Compressor Station. Following construction, the temporary workspaces would be restored.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">NEPA Process and the Environmental Document</HD>
                <P>Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project under the relevant general resource areas:</P>
                <P>• geology and soils;</P>
                <P>• water resources and wetlands;</P>
                <P>• vegetation and wildlife;</P>

                <P>• air quality and noise; and</P>
                <P>• reliability and safety.</P>
                <P>Commission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Your comments will help Commission staff identify and focus on the issues that might have an effect on the human environment and potentially eliminate others from further study and discussion in the environmental document.</P>
                <P>
                    Following this scoping period, Commission staff will determine whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the EIS will present Commission staff's independent analysis of the issues. If Commission staff prepares an EA, a Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an Environmental Assessment will be issued. The EA may be issued for an allotted public comment period. The Commission would consider timely comments on the EA before making its decision regarding the proposed project. If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS/Notice of Schedule will be issued, which will open up an additional comment period. Staff will then prepare a draft EIS which will be issued for public comment. Commission staff will consider all timely comments received during the comment period on the draft EIS and revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. Any EA or draft and final EIS will be available in electronic format in the public record through eLibrary

                <SUBJECT>HGE Energy Storage 4, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications</SUBJECT>
                <P>On December 27, 2024, HGE Energy Storage 4, LLC, filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Lake Shasta Pumped Storage Project to be located in Shasta County, California, adjacent to Shasta Lake (reservoir), approximately 5.5 miles northwest of the city of Shasta Lake. The proposed project would occupy federal land managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Reclamation. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.</P>
                <P>The proposed pumped storage hydropower project would consist of: (1) the existing Shasta Lake as a lower reservoir; (2) a new upper reservoir with a surface area of 16 acres and a storage volume of 3,150 acre-feet at a maximum water-surface elevation of 3,000 feet mean sea level (msl); (3) four 9,000-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter steel-lined penstocks to connect the reservoir to the powerhouse; (4) a 250-foot-long, 75-foot-wide, 100-foot-high, steel-reinforced concrete powerhouse constructed 100 feet below ground level, with four 280-megawatt (MW) reversible variable-speed pump-turbines, with a combined installed capacity of 1,120-MW; (5) a 100-foot-high, 30-foot-wide vertical access tunnel from ground level to the powerhouse; (6) a vertical intake structure to lead to the tailrace 100 feet below msl; (7) a 250-foot-long, 200-foot-wide concrete-lined tailrace; and (7) a 2.5-mile-long, 230-kilovolt line extending from the powerhouse to a planned AC-DC converter station. The estimated annual energy production of the project would be approximately 3,250,000 megawatt-hours.</P>

                     Georgia Power Company (licensee) requests Commission approval to upgrade two generating units at the Burton Development, which includes replacing the turbine runners and generators. The proposed upgrades would increase the Burton Development's installed capacity from 8.1 megawatt (MW) to 9.6 MW. The maximum hydraulic capacity of each unit would remain unchanged. The upgrades are scheduled to begin in 2025, and are expected to take four months per unit, pending approval of the amendment application. The licensee states that the proposal does not change any project features or operations. The project would continue to operate under the terms of its current license and applicable Water Quality Certification. The proposed upgrades would not result in any ground disturbance, nor any effects to recreation facilities or their use.

                     The project is located primarily on federal lands within Inyo National Forest and the Ansel Adams Wilderness Area, both administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Existing project facilities include: (1) the 50-foot-high, 463-foot-long Rush Meadows Dam impounding the 130-acre Waugh Lake; (2) the 84-foot-high, 688-foot-long Gem Dam impounding 256-acre Gem Lake; (3) the 30-foot-high, 278-foot-long Agnew Dam impounding 23-acre Agnew Lake; (4) a water conveyance system consisting of an approximately 4,584-foot-long buried steel flowline conveying water from Gem Dam to Agnew Junction, a 575-foot-long steel flowline from Agnew Dam to the Agnew valve house, and two 4,280-foot-long buried steel penstocks; (5) a powerhouse containing two impulse turbines and two horizontal-shaft generator units; (6) a 470-foot-long tailrace conveying water from the powerhouse to Rush Creek; (7) a 1.59-mile-long, 4-kilovolt (kV) power line, half of which is de-energized for future repairs; (8) a 150-foot-long, 2.4-kV power line; (9) an approximately 1.63-mile-long communication line; (10) incline railroads (tramways) used to transport personnel and equipment, including a 1,490-foot-long tramway from Agnew Lake to Gem Dam and a 4,280-foot-long tramway from the project powerhouse to Agnew Dam; (11) about 1,860 feet of trails to access project facilities; and (12) ancillary facilities. The project does not include any developed recreation facilities.
                </P>
                <P>SCE proposes to: (1) decommission hydroelectric operations at Rush Meadows Dam and Agnew Dam, including partial removal of the two dams; (2) retrofit Gem Dam with a new spillway and reduce the height of the dam to facilitate compliance with seismic restrictions under a probable maximum flood event; and (3) continue hydroelectric operations at Gem Dam and the project powerhouse. SCE does not propose any additional generation capacity or new project facilities.</P>

                <HD SOURCE="HD1">I. Background</HD>
                <P>Under the Medicare program, eligible beneficiaries may receive covered services from a hospital provided certain requirements are met. Section 1861(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act) establishes distinct criteria for facilities seeking designation as a hospital. Regulations concerning provider agreements are at 42 CFR part 489 and those pertaining to activities relating to the survey and certification of facilities are at 42 CFR part 488. The regulations at 42 CFR part 482 specify the minimum conditions that a hospital must meet to participate in the Medicare program.</P>
                <P>Generally, to enter into an agreement, a hospital must first be certified by a state survey agency (SA) as complying with the conditions or requirements set forth in part 482 of our regulations. Thereafter, the hospital is subject to regular surveys by an SA to determine whether it continues to meet these requirements. However, there is an alternative to surveys by SAs.</P>
                <P>Section 1865(a)(1) of the Act provides that, if a provider entity demonstrates through accreditation by a Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) approved national accrediting organization (AO) that all applicable Medicare conditions are met or exceeded, we will deem those provider entities as having met the requirements. Accreditation by an AO is voluntary and is not required for Medicare participation.</P>
                <P>If an AO is recognized by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) as having standards for accreditation that meet or exceed Medicare requirements, any provider entity accredited by the national accrediting body's approved program would be deemed to meet the Medicare conditions. A national AO applying for approval of its accreditation program under part 488, subpart A, must provide CMS with reasonable assurance that the AO requires the accredited provider entities to meet requirements that are at least as stringent as the Medicare conditions. Our regulations concerning the approval of AOs are set forth at §§ 488.4 and 488.5. The regulations at § 488.5(e)(2)(i) require AOs to reapply for continued approval of its accreditation program every 6 years or sooner as determined by CMS.</P>
                <P>The Joint Commission's (TJC's) current term of approval for their hospital accreditation program expires July 15, 2025.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">II. Approval of Deeming Organizations</HD>
                <P>Section 1865(a)(2) of the Act and our regulations at § 488.5 require that our findings concerning review and approval of a national AO's requirements consider, among other factors, the applying AO's requirements for accreditation; survey procedures; resources for conducting required surveys; capacity to furnish information for use in enforcement activities; monitoring procedures for provider entities found not in compliance with the conditions or requirements; and ability to provide CMS with the necessary data for validation.</P>
                <P>Section 1865(a)(3)(A) of the Act further requires that we publish, within 60 days of receipt of an organization's complete application, a notice identifying the national accrediting body making the request, describing the nature of the request, and providing at least a 30-day public comment period. We have 210 days from the receipt of a complete application to publish notice of approval or denial of the application.</P>
                <P>The purpose of this proposed notice is to inform the public of TJC's request for continued CMS-approval of its hospital accreditation program. This notice also solicits public comment on whether TJC's requirements meet or exceed the Medicare conditions of participation (CoPs) for hospitals.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">III. Evaluation of Deeming Authority Request</HD>
                <P>TJC submitted all the necessary materials to enable us to make a determination concerning its request for continued CMS-approval of its hospital accreditation program. This application was determined to be complete on December 17, 2024. Under section 1865(a)(2) of the Act and our regulations at § 488.5 (Application and re-application procedures for national accrediting organizations), our review and evaluation of TJC will be conducted in accordance with, but not necessarily limited to, the following factors:</P>
                <P>• The equivalency of TJC's standards for hospitals as compared with CMS' hospital CoPs.</P>
                <P>• TJC's survey process to determine the following:</P>
                <P>++ The composition of the survey team, surveyor qualifications, and the ability of the organization to provide continuing surveyor training.</P>
                <P>
                    ++ The comparability of TJC's processes to those of state agencies, including survey frequency, and the 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9343"/>
                    ability to investigate and respond appropriately to complaints against accredited facilities.
                </P>
                <P>++ TJC's processes and procedures for monitoring a hospital found out of compliance with TJC's program requirements. These monitoring procedures are used only when TJC identifies noncompliance. If noncompliance is identified through validation reviews or complaint surveys, the SA monitors corrections as specified at § 488.9.</P>
                <P>++ TJC's capacity to report deficiencies to the surveyed facilities and respond to the facility's plan of correction in a timely manner.</P>
                <P>++ TJC's capacity to provide CMS with electronic data and reports necessary for effective validation and assessment of the organization's survey process.</P>
                <P>++ The adequacy of TJC's staff and other resources, and its financial viability.</P>
                <P>++ TJC's capacity to adequately fund required surveys.</P>
                <P>++ TJC's policies with respect to whether surveys are announced or unannounced, to assure that surveys are unannounced.</P>
                <P>++ TJC's policies and procedures to avoid conflicts of interest, including the appearance of conflicts of interest, involving individuals who conduct surveys or participate in accreditation decisions.</P>
                <P>++ TJC's agreement to provide CMS with a copy of the most current accreditation survey together with any other information related to the survey as we may require (including corrective action plans).</P>

                    <P>The Social Security Act prohibits a hospital with physician ownership that relies on the exception to the physician self-referral law for hospitals outside of Puerto Rico or for rural providers from expanding its facility capacity unless the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services grants the hospital's request for an exception from that prohibition after considering input on the request from individuals and entities in the community where the hospital is located. The Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services has received a request from a hospital with physician ownership for an exception from the prohibition on expansion of facility capacity. This notice solicits comments on the request from individuals and entities in the community in which the hospital is located. Community input may inform our decision to approve or deny the hospital's request for an exception from the prohibition on expansion of facility capacity.</P>

                <P>
                    Section 1877 of the Social Security Act (the Act), also known as the physician self-referral law: (1) prohibits a physician from making referrals for certain designated health services payable by Medicare to an entity with which he or she (or an immediate family member) has a financial relationship 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9344"/>
                    unless the requirements of an applicable exception are satisfied; and (2) prohibits the entity from filing claims with Medicare (or billing another individual, entity, or third party payer) for any improperly referred designated health services. A financial relationship may be an ownership or investment interest in the entity or a compensation arrangement with the entity. The statute establishes a number of specific exceptions and grants the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) the authority to create regulatory exceptions for financial relationships that do not pose a risk of program or patient abuse.
                </P>
                <P>Section 1877(d) of the Act sets forth exceptions related to ownership or investment interests held by a physician (or an immediate family member of a physician) in an entity that furnishes designated health services. Section 1877(d)(2) of the Act provides an exception for ownership or investment interests in rural providers (the “rural provider exception”). To satisfy the requirements of the rural provider exception, the designated health services must be furnished in a rural area (as defined in section 1886(d)(2) of the Act) and substantially all of the designated health services furnished by the entity must be furnished to individuals residing in a rural area, and, in the case where the entity is a hospital, the hospital must meet the requirements of section 1877(i)(1) of the Act no later than September 23, 2011. Section 1877(d)(3) of the Act provides an exception for ownership or investment interests in a hospital located outside of Puerto Rico (the “whole hospital exception”). To satisfy the requirements of the whole hospital exception, the referring physician must be authorized to perform services at the hospital, the ownership or investment interest must be in the hospital itself (and not merely in a subdivision of the hospital), and the hospital must meet the requirements of section 1877(i)(1) of the Act no later than September 23, 2011.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">II. Prohibition on Expansion of Facility Capacity</HD>
                <P>Section 6001(a)(3) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) (Pub. L. 111-148) amended section 1877 of the Act, by adding the requirements in section 1877(i) of the Act for a hospital to qualify for the rural provider and whole hospital exceptions, including that the hospital may not increase the number of operating rooms, procedure rooms, and beds beyond that for which the hospital was licensed on March 23, 2010 (or, in the case of a hospital that did not have a provider agreement in effect as of this date, but did have a provider agreement in effect on December 31, 2010, the effective date of such provider agreement) unless the Secretary grants an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion. We refer to this prohibition herein as the “prohibition on facility expansion.” Section 1877(i)(3)(A)(i) of the Act requires the Secretary to establish and implement a process under which a hospital that is an “applicable hospital” (as defined at section 1877(i)(3)(E) of the Act) or a “high Medicaid facility” (as defined at section 1877(i)(3)(F) of the Act) may apply for an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion. The process for requesting an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion is discussed in section III. below.</P>
                <P>The criteria that a hospital must meet to be an applicable hospital are set forth at §  411.363(c). An applicable hospital: (1) is located in a county that has a percentage increase in the population that is at least 150 percent of the percentage increase in population of the State in which the hospital is located during the most recent 5-year period for which data are available as of the date that the hospital submits its request, as estimated by the Bureau of the Census; (2) has an annual percent of total inpatient admissions under Medicaid that is equal to or greater than the average percent with respect to such admissions for all hospitals (including the requesting hospital) that have Medicare participation agreements with CMS and are located in the county in which the hospital is located during the most recent 12-month period for which data are available as of the date that the hospital submits its request; (3) does not discriminate against beneficiaries of Federal health care programs and does not permit physicians practicing at the hospital to discriminate against such beneficiaries; (4) is located in a State in which the average bed capacity in the State is less than the national average bed capacity during the most recent fiscal year for which the Healthcare Cost Report Information System (HCRIS), as of the date that the hospital submits its request, contains data from a sufficient number of hospitals to determine a State's average bed capacity and the national average bed capacity; and (5) has an average bed occupancy rate that is greater than the average bed occupancy rate in the State in which the hospital is located during the most recent fiscal year for which HCRIS, as of the date that the hospital submits its request, contains data from a sufficient number of hospitals to determine the requesting hospital's average bed occupancy rate and the relevant State's average bed occupancy rate. The regulation at § 411.363(c)(2) and (c)(5)(i) specify acceptable data sources for determining whether a hospital meets the criteria for an applicable hospital.</P>
                <P>The criteria that a hospital must meet to be a high Medicaid facility are set forth at §  411.363(d). A high Medicaid facility: (1) is not the sole hospital in the county in which the hospital is located; (2) with respect to each of the three most recent 12-month periods for which data are available as of the date the hospital submits its request, has an annual percent of total inpatient admissions under Medicaid that is estimated to be greater than such percent with respect to such admissions for each other hospital that has a Medicare participation agreement with CMS and is located in the county in which the hospital is located; and (3) does not discriminate against beneficiaries of Federal health care programs and does not permit physicians practicing at the hospital to discriminate against such beneficiaries. The regulation at § 411.363(d)(2) specifies the acceptable data source for determining whether a hospital meets the criteria for a high Medicaid facility.</P>
                <HD SOURCE="HD1">III. Expansion Exception Process</HD>
                <P>The process for requesting an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion (also referred to as “expansion exception request” or “request” for purposes of this notice) is set forth at § 411.363 and addresses the procedure for submitting a request, community input, the timing of a complete request, the determination that a hospital is an applicable hospital or a high Medicaid facility, and CMS' decision to approve or deny a request. CMS takes a two-step approach to considering expansion exception requests. First, CMS will determine whether the requesting hospital meets the criteria for an applicable hospital or a high Medicaid facility using the information provided by the hospital in its expansion exception request and rebuttal statement, if any, and the community input, if any. Second, using data and information provided from these sources, as well as any other data and information that is relevant to its decision, CMS will decide whether to approve or deny the expansion exception request.</P>
                <P>
                    Individuals and entities in the hospital's community may provide input with respect to the hospital's request for an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion, 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9345"/>
                    including, but not limited to, input regarding whether the hospital meets the criteria for an applicable hospital or a high Medicaid facility and the factors that CMS will consider in deciding whether to approve or deny the hospital's expansion exception request. Community input must be in the form of written comments, submitted according to the instructions in this 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice, and be received no later than 60 days after the publication date of this notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                    . If CMS receives written comments from the community, the hospital will have 60 days after CMS notifies the hospital of the written comments to submit a rebuttal statement.
                </P>
                <P>The hospital's community includes the geographic area served by the hospital (as defined at § 411.357(e)(2)) and all of the following:</P>
                <P>• The county in which the hospital's main campus is located.</P>
                <P>• The counties in which the hospital provides inpatient or outpatient hospital services as of the date the hospital submits the request.</P>
                <P>The factors that CMS will consider in deciding whether to approve or deny a hospital's request for an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion are set forth at § 411.363(i)(2) and include, but are not limited to, the following:</P>
                <P>• The specialty (for example, maternity, psychiatric, or substance use disorder care) of the hospital or the services furnished by or to be furnished by the hospital if CMS approves the request.</P>
                <P>• Program integrity or quality of care concerns related to the hospital.</P>
                <P>• Whether the hospital has a need for additional operating rooms, procedure rooms, or beds.</P>
                <P>• Whether there is a need for additional operating rooms, procedure rooms, or beds in the county in which the main campus of the hospital is located or in any county in which the hospital provides inpatient or outpatient hospital services as of the date the hospital submits the request.</P>
                <P>
                    If CMS determines that the requesting hospital does not meet the criteria for an applicable hospital or a high Medicaid facility, CMS will publish in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice of such determination. If CMS determines that the hospital meets the criteria for an applicable hospital or a high Medicaid facility, CMS will publish in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     notice of such determination and its decision regarding the hospital's request for an exception from the prohibition on facility expansion.

                    <E T="03">Scope.</E>
                    —For purposes of these investigations, Commerce has defined the subject merchandise as “certain low speed personal transportation vehicles (LSPTVs) and subassemblies thereof, whether finished or unfinished and whether assembled or unassembled, with or without tires, wheels, seats, steering columns and steering wheels, canopies, roofs, or batteries. LSPTVs meeting this description are open-air vehicles, 
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     may have a permanent roof, may have a permanent windshield, and may be covered with temporary sides, with a minimum of four wheels, a steering wheel, a traditional side-by-side or in-line row seating arrangement (
                    <E T="03">i.e.,</E>
                     non-straddle), foot operated accelerator and brake pedals, and a gross vehicle weight of no greater than 5,500 pounds.
                </P>
                <P>The main power source for subject LSPTVs is either an electric motor and battery (including but not limited to lithium-ion batteries, lithium phosphate batteries, lead acid batteries, and absorbed glass mat batteries) or a gas-powered internal combustion engine. Subject LSPTVs may be described as golf carts, golf cars, low speed vehicles, personal transportation vehicles, or light utility vehicles.</P>
                <P>LSPTVs subject to these investigations should have a maximum top nameplate speed of no greater than 25 miles per hour as required by federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Subject LSPTVs with a maximum top nameplate speed greater than 20 miles per hour normally must comply with the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for Low-Speed Vehicles set forth in 49 CFR 571.500. LSPTVs that otherwise meet the physical description of this scope but are not certified under 49 CFR 571.500 and are not certified under other sections of subpart B of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR part 571), are not excluded from these investigations. LSPTVs that are certified under both 49 CFR 571.500 and other sections of subpart B of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards remain subject to the scope of these investigations. Subject LSPTVs that have a maximum top nameplate speed of less than 25 miles per hour may be certified to the SAE International (SAE) standards SAE J2258 and SAE J2358. LSPTVs that have a maximum top nameplate speed of less than 20 miles per hour may also be certified to the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) standards OPEI Z130.1 and OPEI Z135.</P>
                <P>An unfinished and/or unassembled LSPTV subject to these investigations covers at a minimum a subassembly, also known as a “rolling chassis,” which is typically comprised of, but not limited to, a frame or body with front and/or rear suspension components (such as arms, springs, axles, spindles, and shafts) installed and powertrain components (including either an electric motor or a gas-powered internal combustion engine) installed or ready for installation.</P>
                <P>When imported together with a rolling chassis subject to these investigations, other LSPTV components, such as batteries, bumpers, wheel and tire assemblies, cowlings, fenders, grills, kick plates, steering column and steering wheel assemblies, dash assembly, seat assemblies, pedal assemblies, brake assemblies, canopy or roof assemblies, temporary rain enclosures, windshields, mirrors, headlights, taillights, lighting systems, or storage—whether assembled or unassembled, whether as part of a kit or not, and whether or not accompanied by additional components—constitute part of an unfinished and/or unassembled LSPTV that is subject to these investigations. The inclusion of other products, components, or assemblies not described here does not remove the product from the scope.</P>
                <P>Subject LSPTVs and subassemblies are covered by the scope of these investigations whether or not they are accompanied by other parts. These investigations cover all LSPTVs and subassemblies meeting the physical description of the scope, regardless of overall length, width, or height. Individual components that do not comprise a subject LSPTV or subassembly that are entered by themselves are not subject to the investigations, but components entered with a LSPTV or subassembly, whether finished or unfinished and whether assembled or unassembled, are subject merchandise.</P>
                <P>LSPTVs and subassemblies subject to these investigations include those that are produced in the subject country whether assembled with other components in the subject country or in a third country. Processing or completion of finished and unfinished LSPTVs and subassemblies either in the subject country or in a third country does not remove the product from the scope.</P>
                <P>Specifically excluded from the scope of these investigations are all-terrain vehicles (which typically have straddle seating and are steered by handlebars), multipurpose off-highway utility vehicles (which have a maximum top nameplate speed of greater than 25 miles per hour), and recreational off-highway vehicles (which have a maximum top nameplate speed of greater than 30 miles per hour). Also excluded from the scope are go-karts, electric scooters, golf trolleys, and mobility aids (which include power wheelchairs and scooters which are used for the express purpose of enabling mobility for a person).”  </P>

                    —For purposes of this investigation, Commerce has defined the subject merchandise as “large top mount combination refrigerator-freezers with a refrigerated volume of at least 15.6 cubic feet or 442 liters. For the purposes of this investigation, the term “large top mount combination refrigerator-freezers” consists of freestanding or built-in cabinets that have an integral source of refrigeration using compression technology, with all of the following characteristics:
                </P>
                <P> The cabinet contains at least two interior storage compartments accessible through two separate external doors;</P>
                <P> The lower-most interior storage compartment(s) that is accessible through an external door is a fresh food or convertible compartment, but is not a freezer compartment; however, the existence of an interior sub-compartment for ice-making in the lower-most storage compartment does not render the lower-most storage compartment a freezer compartment; and</P>
                <P> There is a freezer or convertible compartment that is mounted above the lower-most interior storage compartment(s).</P>
                <P>For the purposes of the investigation, a fresh food compartment is capable of storing food at temperatures above 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), a freezer compartment is capable of storing food at temperatures at or below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), and a convertible compartment is capable of operating as either a fresh food compartment or a freezer compartment, as defined in this paragraph.”</P>

The investigation was requested in a petition filed on May 30, 2024, by Electrolux Consumer Products, Inc., Charlotte, North Carolina.

                <P>In general, Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify that a host railroad's PTC system complies with Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 236, subpart I, before the technology may be operated in revenue service. Before making certain changes to an FRA-certified PTC system or the associated FRA-approved PTCSP, a host railroad must submit, and obtain FRA's approval of, an RFA to its PTCSP under 49 CFR 236.1021.</P>
                <P>
                    Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA's regulations provide that FRA will publish a notice in the 
                    <E T="04">Federal Register</E>
                     and invite public comment in accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an RFA includes a request for approval of a material modification of a signal or train control system. Accordingly, this notice informs the public that, on January 29, 2025, Caltrain submitted an RFA to its PTCSP for its Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS), which seeks FRA's approval of Caltrain's proposed changes to I-ETMS and its highway grade crossing system, including Crossing Optimization and Two-Speed (2SC) Check Gate Crossing Warning Activation System. That RFA is available in Docket No. FRA-2010-0051.
                </P>
                <P>
                    Interested parties are invited to comment on Caltrain's RFA to its PTCSP by submitting written comments or data. During FRA's review of this railroad's RFA, FRA will consider any comments or data submitted within the timeline specified in this notice and to the extent practicable, without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary modifications to a PTC system. 
                    <E T="03">See</E>

                     49 CFR 236.1011(e). Under 49 CFR 236.1021, FRA maintains the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or deny a railroad's RFA to its PTCSP at FRA's sole discretion.

                    <E T="03">Description:</E>
                     The Home Owners' Loan Act (HOLA), as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA), allows a Federal savings association (FSA) with total consolidated assets of $20 billion or less, as of December 31, 2017, to elect to operate as a covered savings association (CSA). This section of HOLA requires the OCC to issue rules that, among other things, establish streamlined standards and procedures for FSA elections to operate as CSAs and clarify the requirements for the treatment of a CSA. A CSA has the same rights and privileges as a national bank and is subject to the same duties and restrictions as a national bank.
                </P>
                <P>Twelve CFR part 101 allows FSAs to elect national bank powers and operate as CSAs. An FSA seeking to operate as a CSA is required under 12 CFR 101.3(a) to submit a notice making a CSA election to the OCC that: (1) is signed by a duly authorized officer of the FSA; and (2) identifies and describes any nonconforming subsidiaries, assets, or activities that the FSA operates, holds, or conducts at the time it submits its notice.</P>
                <P>Under 12 CFR 101.5(a), the OCC may require a CSA to submit a plan to divest, conform, or discontinue a nonconforming subsidiary, asset, or activity.</P>
                <P>
                    A CSA may submit a notice to terminate its election to operate as a CSA under 12 CFR 101.6 using procedures similar to those for an election. In addition, after a period of five years, an FSA that has terminated its election to operate as a CSA may submit a notice under 12 CFR 101.7 to 
                    <PRTPAGE P="9356"/>
                    reelect using the same procedures used for its original election.

                <HD SOURCE="HED">Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports</HD>
                <FP>By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to protect opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, it is hereby ordered:</FP>
                <FP>
                    <E T="04">Section 1</E>
                    . 
                    <E T="03">Policy and Purpose.</E>
                     In recent years, many educational institutions and athletic associations have allowed men to compete in women's sports. This is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls, and denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports.
                </FP>
                <FP>
                    Moreover, under Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (Title IX), educational institutions receiving Federal funds cannot deny women an equal opportunity to participate in sports. As some Federal courts have recognized, “ignoring fundamental biological truths between the two sexes deprives women and girls of meaningful access to educational facilities.”

                </FP>
                <FP>Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy.

                     Many sport-specific governing bodies have no official position or requirements regarding trans-identifying athletes. Others allow men to compete in women's categories if these men reduce the testosterone in their bodies below certain levels or provide documentation of “sincerely held” gender identity. These policies are unfair to female athletes and do not protect female safety. To address these concerns, it is hereby ordered:

                <P>(c) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall review and adjust, as needed, policies permitting admission to the United States of males seeking to participate in women's sports, and shall issue guidance with an objective of preventing such entry to the extent permitted by law, including pursuant to section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(6)(C)(i)).</P>
