Discussion of Comments

Federal Emergency Management
Agency
[Docket ID: FEMA–2011–0015]

On July 18, 2011, the USCG published
a Notice of Availability; request for
comments for recertification of the Cook
Inlet Regional Citizens’ Advisory
Council in the Federal Register (76 FR
42134). We received 15 letters
commenting on the proposed action. No
public meeting was requested, and none
was held. Of the 15 letters received, 14
were in support of the CIRCAC
application for recertification. These
letters in support of the recertification
consistently cited CIRCAC’s broad
representation of the respective
community’s interests, appropriate
actions to keep the public informed,
improvements to both spill response
preparation and spill prevention, and
oil spill industry monitoring efforts that
combat complacency—as intended by
the Act. One comment recommended
against recertification and expressed
concern that CIRCAC did not represent
the communities and interests of Cook
Inlet and that the CIRCAC did not
promote environmentally safe marine
transportation and oil facility
operations. All comments were taken
into consideration, together with the
information provided with the CIRCAC
2011 application for recertification, and
the totality of the comments and
information provided establishes that
the CIRCAC satisfies the requirements
necessary to obtain recertification under
the Act, 33 U.S.C. 2732 et seq.
Recertification
By letter dated September 14, 2011,
the Commander, Seventeenth Coast
Guard District certified that the CIRCAC
qualifies as an alternative voluntary
advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o).
This recertification terminates on
August 31, 2012.
Dated: September 15, 2011.
Thomas P. Ostebo,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander,
Seventeenth Coast Guard District.

The
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93–
288) (the Stafford Act), as amended, is
the legal basis for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to provide financial needs and
services to individuals who apply for
disaster assistance benefits in the event
of a federally declared disaster.
Regulations in title 44 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Subpart D, ‘‘Federal
Assistance to Individuals and
Households’’, implement the policy and
procedures set forth in section 408 of
the Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5174, as
amended. This program provides
financial assistance and, if necessary,
direct assistance to eligible individuals
and households who, as a direct result
of a major disaster, have uninsured or
under-insured, damage, necessary
expenses, and serious needs which are
not covered through other means.
Individuals and households may
apply for assistance under the
Individuals and Households program
via telephone or Internet. FEMA utilizes
paper forms 009–0–1 (English) Disaster
Assistance Registration or FEMA Form
009–0–2 (Spanish), Solicitud/Registro
Para Asistencia De Resastre to register
individuals.
FEMA provides direct assistance to
eligible applicants pursuant to the
requirements in 44 CFR 206.117. To
receive direct assistance for housing
(e.g., mobile home or travel trailer) from
FEMA, the applicant is required to
acknowledge and accept the conditions
for occupying government property. The
form used is the Declaration and
Release; FEMA Form 009–0–4, or the
Declaracio´n Y Autorizacio´n; FEMA
Form 009–0–5 Receipt for Government
Property. In addition, the applicant is
required to acknowledge that he or she
has been informed of the conditions for
continued direct housing assistance. To
accomplish these notifications, FEMA
uses the applicant’s household
composition data in National
Emergency Management Information
System NEMIS to prepare a Receipt for
Government Property FEMA Form 009–
0–5, or Recibo de Propiedad del
Gobierno FEMA Form 009–0–6.
Federal public benefits are to be
provided to U.S. citizens, non-citizen
nationals, or qualified aliens. A parent
or guardian of a minor child may be
eligible for disaster assistance if the

Sandra L. Bell,
Executive Director, Regulations and Rulings,
Office of International Trade.

This document provides
notice that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) has issued a final
determination concerning the country of
origin of certain Ethernet switches.
Based upon the facts presented, CBP has
concluded that the programming
operations performed in the United
States, using U.S.-origin software,
substantially transform the non-TAA
country switches. Therefore, the country
of origin of the switches is the United
States for purposes of U.S. Government
procurement.
DATES: The final determination was
issued on October 4, 2011. A copy of the
final determination is attached. Any
party-at-interest, as defined in 19 CFR
177.22(d), may seek judicial review of
this final determination on or before
November 7, 2011.

to the U.S. Government under an
undesignated government procurement
contract. This final determination, HQ

set forth at 19 CFR Part 177, subpart B,
which implements Title III of the Trade
Agreements Act of 1979, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2511–18). In the final
determination, CBP concluded that,

RE: U.S. Government Procurement;
Country of Origin of Local Area
Network Switches; Substantial
Transformation
Dear Ms. LeBeau and Ms. Seymour:
This is in response to your letter,
dated July 6, 2011, requesting a final
determination on behalf of Arista
Networks, Inc. (‘‘Arista’’), pursuant to
subpart B of part 177 of the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
Regulations (19 C.F.R. Part 177). Under
these regulations, which implement
Title III of the Trade Agreements Act of
1979 (‘‘TAA’’), as amended (19 U.S.C.
§ 2511 et seq.), CBP issues country of
origin advisory rulings and final
determinations as to whether an article
is or would be a product of a designated

country or instrumentality for the
purposes of granting waivers of certain
‘‘Buy American’’ restrictions in U.S. law
or practice for products offered for sale
to the U.S. Government.
This final determination concerns the
country of origin of Arista’s 7048, 7050,
7100, 7124, and 7500 series (‘‘7 Series’’)
local area network (‘‘LAN’’) switches.
We note that as a U.S. importer, Arista
is a party-at-interest within the meaning
of 19 C.F.R. § 177.22(d)(1) and is
entitled to request this final
determination.
FACTS:
Arista is importing 7 Series Ethernet
switches assembled in China. The
switches are designed to interconnect
servers and storage appliances in data
centers. Each switch consists of one or
more printed circuit board assembly
(‘‘PCBAs’’), chassis, top cover, power
supply, and fans. After importation, the
switches will be programmed with U.S.origin software.
The following operations occur in
China:
1. The chassis and top cover are
manufactured from sheet metal.
2. The PCB is populated with various
electronic components to make a
PCBA.
3. The PCBA is tested to ensure
functionality.
4. The power supply and fans are
installed in the chassis.
5. The PCBA is installed in the chassis.
6. The chassis and top cover are
assembled together.
7. The serial numbers of the
components are entered into the
data tracking system, and the
switch is packaged and shipped to
the United States.
The following operations occur in the
United States:
1. U.S.-origin EOSTM software is
downloaded onto the flash memory
on the PCBA.
2. The switch is tested, packaged, and
prepared for shipping.
Arista’s EOSTM (Extensible Operating
System) software is designed to provide
switching functionality, secure
administration, and reliability, and to
optimize network management.
Specifically, EOS software provides the
following capabilities and benefits to
Ethernet switches: in-service software
upgrade, software fault containment,
fault repair, security exploit
containment, and scalable management
interface. According to your submission,
the units imported from China could not
function as network switches without
this software, which was developed in
the United States at considerable cost to
Arista. Since 2005, more than 140
