Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 21, 2016 / Notices

Court’s final judgment affirming the
2010–2011 AR Final Results constitutes
the Court’s final decision which is not
in harmony with the 2010–2011 AR
Final Results. This notice is published
in fulfillment of the publication
requirements of Timken. Accordingly,
the Department will continue the
suspension of liquidation of the subject
merchandise pending a final and
conclusive court decision.
Amended Final Results of Review
Because there is now a final court
decision, the Department is amending
the 2010–2011 AR Final Results with
respect Jiheng and Kangtai, as follows:

Exporter

Weightedaverage
margin
percentage

Hebei Jiheng Chemical Co.,
Ltd. ....................................
Juancheng Kangtai Chemical
Co., Ltd. ............................

31.22
34.21

In the event the Court’s ruling is not
appealed or, if appealed, upheld by a
final and conclusive court decision, the
Department will instruct the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to assess
antidumping duties on unliquidated
entries of subject merchandise based on
the revised rate the Department
determined and listed above.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because there have been subsequent
administrative reviews for Jiheng and
Kangtai, the case deposit rates will
remain the rates established in the
2012–2013 Final Results, which are 0.00
percent respectively for both Jiheng and
Kangtai.7
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(e)(l),
75l(a)(l), and 777(i)(l) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:

Background
On July 5, 2016, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on CWP from
the PRC for the period January 1, 2015,
through December 31, 2015.1 The
Department received a timely-filed
request from Wheatland Tube Company
(the petitioner), in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), for an administrative review
of this countervailing duty order.2
Pursuant to this request and in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), on September 12, 2016,
the Department published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation
with respect to 20 individually-named
companies or company groups.3 On
December 12, 2016, the petitioner
timely withdrew its request for an
administrative review.4

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
petitioner withdrew its request for
review by the 90-day deadline. No other
parties requested an administrative
review of the order. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
we are rescinding the administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on CWP from the PRC covering the
period January 1, 2015, through
December 31, 2015.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries. Countervailing
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to
the cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751 of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
The Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Agreement of 2014 requires monitoring
of progress towards the environmental
literacy goal: ‘‘Enable students in the
region to graduate with the knowledge
and skills needed to act responsibly to
protect and restore their local
watersheds.’’ NOAA, on behalf of the
Chesapeake Bay Program, will ask the
state education agencies for Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, West
Virginia, and the District of Columbia to
survey their local education agencies
(LEAs) to determine: (1) LEA capacity to
implement a comprehensive and
systemic approach to environmental
literacy education, (2) student
participation in Meaningful Watershed
Educational Experiences during the
school year, (3) sustainability practices
at schools, and (4) LEA needs for
improving environmental literacy
education programming. LEAs
(generally school districts, in some cases
charter school administration) are asked
to complete the survey on the status of
their LEA on a set of key indicators for
the four areas listed above. One
individual from each LEA is asked to
complete this survey once every two
years.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents will submit their
information electronically on web-based
survey forms.
III. Data

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) issued government-wide
guidance to enhance the practice of peer
review of government science
documents. OMB’s Final Information
Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (‘‘Peer
Review Bulletin’’ or PRB) (available at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
memoranda/fy2005/m05-03.pdf)
establishes minimum peer review
standards for influential scientific
information that Federal agencies intend
to disseminate.
The Peer Review Bulletin also directs
Federal agencies to adopt or adapt the
National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
policy for evaluating conflicts of interest
when selecting peer reviewers who are
not Federal government employees
(federal employees are subject to
Federal ethics requirements). For peer
review purposes, the term ‘‘conflicts of
interest’’ means any financial or other
interest which conflicts with the service
of the individual because it could: (1)
Significantly impair the individual’s
objectivity; or (2) create an unfair
competitive advantage for any person or
organization. NOAA has adapted the
NAS policy and developed two
confidential conflict disclosure forms
which the agency will use to examine
prospective reviewers’ potential
financial conflicts and other interests
that could impair objectivity or create
an unfair advantage. One form is for
peer reviewers of studies related to
government regulation and the other
form is for all other influential scientific
information subject to the Peer Review
Bulletin. In addition, the latter form has
been adapted by NOAA’s Office of
