I. Abstract

BILLING CODE 4310–JB–P

AGENCY:

ACTION:

The Secretary of the United States
Department of the Interior is responsible
for collecting royalties from lessees who
produce minerals from leased Federal
and Indian lands and the OuterContinental Shelf (OCS). The Secretary’s
responsibility, under various laws, is to
manage mineral resource production
from Federal and Indian lands and the
OCS, collect the royalties and other
mineral revenues due, and distribute the
funds collected under those laws. ONRR
performs the royalty management
functions for the Secretary.

Frm 00093

Sfmt 4703

We have posted those laws pertaining
to mineral leases on Federal and Indian
lands and the OCS at http://
www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/PubLaws/
default.htm.
Minerals produced from Federal and
Indian leases vary greatly in the nature
of occurrence, production, and
processing methods. When a company
or an individual enters into a lease to
explore, develop, produce, and dispose
of minerals from Federal or Indian
lands, that company or individual
agrees to pay the lessor a share in an
amount or value of production from the
leased lands. The regulations require the
lessee to report various kinds of
information to the lessor relative to the
disposition of the leased minerals. Such
information is generally available
within the records of the lessee or others
involved in developing, transporting,
processing, purchasing, or selling such
minerals. The information we collect
includes data necessary to ensure that
lessees accurately value production and
appropriately pay royalties.
Companies submit financial
information monthly to ONRR on Forms
ONRR–2014, Report of Sales and
Royalty Remittance (OMB Control
Number 1012–0004), and ONRR–4430,
Solid Minerals Production and Royalty
Report (OMB Control Number 1012–
0010).
Every year, under the Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), the Department’s Office
of Inspector General, or its agent (agent),
audits the Department’s financial
statements. The Department’s goal is to
receive an unqualified opinion.
Accounts receivable confirmations are a
common practice in the audit business.
Due to continuously increasing scrutiny
on financial audits, third-party
confirmation of the validity of ONRR’s
financial records is necessary.
As part of the CFO audit, the agent
selects a sample of accounts receivable
items and provides the sample items to
ONRR. ONRR then identifies the
company names and addresses for the
sample items selected, and creates
accounts receivable confirmation letters.
In order to meet the CFO requirements,
the letters must be on ONRR letterhead;
and the Deputy Director for ONRR, or
his or her designee, must sign the
letters. The letter requests third-party
confirmation responses by a specified
date on whether or not ONRR’s accounts
receivable records agree with royalty
payor records for the following items:
customer identification; royalty/invoice
number; payor-assigned document
number; date of ONRR receipt; original
amount the payor reported; and
remaining balance due ONRR. The agent
mails the letters to the payors,

E:\FR\FM\10FEN1.SGM

10FEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 27 / Tuesday, February 10, 2015 / Notices
instructing them to respond directly to
the agent to confirm the accuracy and
validity of selected royalty receivable
items and amounts. Verifying the
amounts reported and the balances due
requires research and analysis by
payors.
We are requesting OMB’s approval to
continue to collect this information. Not
collecting this information would limit
the Secretary’s ability to discharge the
duties of the office. ONRR protects
proprietary information that payors
submit, and there are no questions of a
sensitive nature included in this
information collection.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–511 and 731–
TA–1246–1247 (Final)]

Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic
Products From China and Taiwan
Determinations
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigations, the United
States International Trade Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant
to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)
and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (‘‘the Act’’), that
an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of certain crystalline silicon
photovoltaic (‘‘CSPV’’) products from
China and Taiwan, provided for in
subheadings 8541.40.60 (statistical
reporting numbers 8541.40.6020 and
8541.40.6030) of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have
been found by the Department of
Commerce to be sold in the United
States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’),
and subsidized by the government of
China.2
Background
The Commission instituted these
investigations effective December 31,
2013, following receipt of petitions filed
with the Commission and Commerce by
SolarWorld America, Inc., Hillsboro,
Oregon. The final phase of the
investigations was scheduled by the
Commission following notification of
preliminary determinations by
Commerce that imports of CSPV
products from China and Taiwan were
dumped within the meaning of 733(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)) and were
subsidized by the government of China
within the meaning of section 703(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)). Notice of
the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission’s investigations and of a
public hearing to be held in connection
therewith was given by posting copies
of the notice in the Office of the
Secretary, U.S. International Trade
Commission, Washington, DC, and by
publishing the notice in the Federal
Register on August 25, 2014 (79 FR
1 The record is defined in section 207.2(f) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19
CFR 207.2(f)).
2 Vice Chairman Dean A. Pinkert and
Commissioners Irving A. Williamson, David S.
Johanson, and Rhonda K. Schmidtlein voted in the
affirmative. Chairman Meredith M. Broadbent voted
in the affirmative with respect to CSPV modules
from China and Taiwan and in the negative with
respect to CSPV cells from Taiwan (CSPV cells from
China were not included in the scope of these
investigations). Commissioner F. Scott Kieff did not
participate in these investigations.
