U.S. International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
our final affirmative determination of
sales at LTFV. Because the final
determination in this proceeding is
affirmative, in accordance with section
735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make
its final determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
paper bags from Portugal no later than
45 days after this final determination. If
the ITC determines that material injury
or threat of material injury does not
exist, the proceeding will be terminated
and all cash deposits will be refunded
or canceled, and suspension of
liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC
determines that such injury does exist,
Commerce will issue an antidumping
duty order directing CBP to assess, upon
further instruction by Commerce,
antidumping duties on all imports of the
subject merchandise that are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation, as
discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation’’ section.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation

comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on December 7,
2023 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST),
Commerce.
Title: Domestic Manufacturing Waiver
Form.
OMB Control Number: 0693–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular, new
collection.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Average Hours per Response: 13
hours.
Needs and Uses: The Bayh-Dole Act
(35 U.S.C. 18) and its implementing
regulations (37 CFR 401) require that
Contractors (as defined in the statute
and regulations) shall not grant ‘‘the
exclusive right to use or sell any subject
invention in the United States unless
such person agrees that any products
embodying the subject invention or
produced through the use of the subject
invention will be manufactured
substantially in the United States.’’
However, the law allows an agency to
waive this requirement if a Contractor
has shown that ‘‘reasonable but
unsuccessful efforts have been made to
grant licenses on similar terms to
potential licensees that would be likely
to manufacture substantially in the
United States or that under the
circumstances domestic manufacturing
is not commercially feasible.’’
Pursuant to Executive Order 14104,
NIST was directed to consult with the
Interagency Working Group for BayhDole to create a set of common
questions to be used by all agencies as
an application to apply for waivers of
the domestic manufacturing
requirement under the Bayh-Dole Act.
This information will be used by
agencies to determine whether the
statutory criteria for a waiver have been
met and to understand the
circumstances surrounding the request.
The questions allow the Contractor to
show the agency what actions they took
to attempt to grant licenses to other
parties likely to manufacture in the
United States and what actions they or
their licensee may have taken to attempt
to locate manufacturers within the
United States. It also allows the agency
to ascertain the circumstances
surrounding manufacture, including
cost, capacity, and other burdens, which
may make domestic manufacturing not
commercially feasible. The questions
allow the agency to understand the
location and the circumstances
surrounding where the Contractor
proposes that manufacturing be done

and whether any sort of domestic
manufacturing is anticipated. These and
other information collected through
these questions will aid agencies when
they weigh whether to grant requests to
waive the domestic manufacturing
requirement.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain benefits.
Legal Authority: The Bayh-Dole Act
(35 U.S.C. 18) and its implementing
regulations (37 CFR 401).
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view the
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
