review and approval. The information
collection request (ICR) concerns a new
survey on the potential impacts of
Atlantic offshore wind energy
development on coastal tourism and
recreation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 1010-New.
Title: Atlantic Offshore Wind Energy
Development: Public Attitudes, Values,
and Implications for Tourism and
Recreation.
Abstract: Under the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331–
1356), BOEM is responsible for
conducting OCS lease sales and for
monitoring and mitigating adverse
impacts that might be associated with
offshore energy development. The
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C.
13201 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior to issue leases, easements,
and rights-of-way for offshore renewable
energy activities in Federal waters, such
as offshore wind power development. In
fulfilling these responsibilities, BOEM
must take into consideration the
impacts of OCS activities on
recreational and cultural resources.
While we have seen significant interest
in offshore wind power development in
recent years, the absence of baseline
data for specific areas along the Atlantic
coast and the absence of a broader
regional study on tourism and wind
power have made it difficult to identify
and analyze the potential impacts of
offshore wind development on coastal
tourism and recreation. Additional
information on these potential impacts

number of
responses
Activity
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
will contribute to better planning and
decision-making for BOEM and other
stakeholders, including other Federal
agencies and State and local
governments.
Under a cooperative agreement
awarded by the Department of the
Interior, the University of Delaware will
conduct a survey to assess the impact of
offshore wind power projects on coastal
recreation and tourism from
Massachusetts to South Carolina. The
survey will gauge public perceptions of
offshore wind energy projects and how
development could impact future
recreation and visitation choices. BOEM
will use this information, along with
other economic and environmental
information, in our offshore wind
decision-making process and marine
spatial planning efforts. States and
coastal communities will use the
information for local coastal planning
efforts.
The data collection will be done by an
internet-based survey. There are two
versions of the survey: One for
participants (people who have visited
an East coast beach in the last 3 years)
and one for nonparticipants (those who
have not visited a beach within the last
3 years). The nonparticipant survey is a
subset of the participant survey. The
survey includes questions about wind
projects being located at a beach as well
as demographic questions.
Frequency: One time.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents and Hour Burden: 527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On August 3, 2009, the
Department of Commerce issued
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on imports of certain tow-behind
lawn groomers and parts thereof from
China (74 FR 38395–38397 and 74 FR
38399–38401). The Commission is
conducting reviews to determine
whether revocation of the orders would
be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to the
domestic industry within a reasonably
foreseeable time. It will assess the
adequacy of interested party responses
to this notice of institution to determine
whether to conduct full or expedited
reviews. The Commission’s
determinations in any expedited
reviews will be based on the facts
available, which may include
information provided in response to this
notice.
Definitions.—The following
definitions apply to these reviews:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or
kind of merchandise that is within the
scope of the five-year reviews, as
defined by the Department of
Commerce.
(2) The Subject Country in these
reviews is China.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the
domestically produced product or
products which are like, or in the
absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the
Subject Merchandise. In its original
determinations, the Commission
defined a single Domestic Like Product
encompassing the continuum of certain
tow-behind lawn groomers and parts
thereof within Commerce’s scope of the
investigations.
(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S.
producers as a whole of the Domestic
Like Product, or those producers whose
collective output of the Domestic Like
Product constitutes a major proportion
of the total domestic production of the
product. In its original determinations,
the Commission defined the Domestic
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
37349
Industry as all domestic producers of
certain tow-behind lawn groomers and
parts thereof. The Commission also
determined that circumstances
warranted the exclusion of certain
domestic producers from the Domestic
Industry as a related party.
(5) The Order Date is the date that the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders under review became effective. In
these reviews, the Order Date is August
3, 2009.
(6) An Importer is any person or firm
engaged, either directly or through a
parent company or subsidiary, in
importing the Subject Merchandise into
the United States from a foreign
manufacturer or through its selling
agent.
Participation in the proceeding and
public service list.—Persons, including
industrial users of the Subject
Merchandise and, if the merchandise is
sold at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations, wishing to
participate in the proceeding as parties
must file an entry of appearance with
the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, no later than 21
days after publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. The Secretary will
maintain a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
or their representatives, who are parties
to the proceeding.
Former Commission employees who
are seeking to appear in Commission
five-year reviews are advised that they
may appear in a review even if they
participated personally and
substantially in the corresponding
underlying original investigation or an
earlier review of the same underlying
investigation. The Commission’s
designated agency ethics official has
advised that a five-year review is not the
same particular matter as the underlying
original investigation, and a five-year
review is not the same particular matter
as an earlier review of the same
underlying investigation for purposes of
18 U.S.C. 207, the post employment
statute for Federal employees, and
Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR
201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014),
73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008).
Consequently, former employees are not
required to seek Commission approval
to appear in a review under Commission
rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the
corresponding underlying original
investigation or an earlier review of the
same underlying investigation was
pending when they were Commission
employees. For further ethics advice on
this matter, contact Carol McCue
Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official,
at 202–205–3088.
