FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review produced by companies
included in these preliminary results of
review for which the reviewed
companies did not know their
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all–others rate if there is
no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit rates will
be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of welded pipe
and tube from Turkey entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the
company listed above will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company–specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less–thanfair–value (‘‘LTFV’’) investigation, but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a
firm covered in this or any previous
review or the LTFV investigation
conducted by the Department, the cash
deposit rate will be 14.74 percent, the
‘‘All Others’’ rate established in the
LTFV investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under section
351.402(f)(2) of the Department’s
regulations to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping and/
or countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.

SUMMARY: On April 19, 2010, the
National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) published a notice
in the Federal Register announcing the
solicitation of proposals for the fiscal
year 2010 Technology Innovation
Program (TIP) competition. NIST is
issuing this notice to correct the award
start date, to correct the description of
a nonresponsive proposal listed under
Element 3 of the Manufacturing Area of
Critical National Need addressed in the
notice, and to clarify the function of the
white paper referenced in the notice.
DATES: The due date for submission of
proposals for the fiscal year 2010 TIP
competition is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time,
Thursday, July 15, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Proposals must be
submitted to TIP as follows:
Paper submission: Send to National
Institute of Standards and Technology,
Technology Innovation Program, 100

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
19, 2010, NIST published a notice
announcing the solicitation of proposals
for the fiscal year 2010 TIP competition
(75 FR 20326–34). NIST is issuing this
notice to make two corrections and one
clarification to that notice. NIST
corrects the start date for funding
projects. In the April 19, 2010 notice,
NIST erroneously indicated in the
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
section entitled Funding Availability
that the anticipated start date is January
1, 2010. The correct anticipated start
date for funding of proposals under this
solicitation is January 1, 2011. The
revised Funding Availability section is
stated below in its entirety for the
public’s convenience.
Funding Availability: Fiscal year 2010
appropriations include funds in the
amount of approximately $25 million
for new TIP awards. The anticipated
start date is January 1, 2011. The period
of performance depends on the R&D
activity proposed. A single company
can receive up to a total of $3 million
with a project period of performance of
up to 3 years. A joint venture can
receive up to total of $9 million with a
project period of performance of up to
5 years. Continuation of funding after
the initial award is based on satisfactory
performance, availability of funds,
continued relevance to program
objectives, and is at the sole discretion
of NIST.
In addition, NIST revises the April 19,
2010 notice to correct an example of a
nonresponsive proposal listed under
Element 3 of the Manufacturing Area of
Critical National Need. Due to a drafting
error, NIST incorrectly indicated that
projects with a primary focus on device
development are considered
nonresponsive projects. NIST’s intent
was to indicate that projects without a
primary focus on addressing specific
process bottlenecks are considered
nonresponsive. This error is corrected
by replacing the last bullet under the
examples of proposals addressing
critical process advances that will be
considered nonresponsive. The
language ‘‘Projects with a primary focus
(people, equipment, time and/or funds)
on device development.’’ is replaced
with ‘‘Projects that do not have a
primary focus (people, equipment, time
and/or funds) on addressing specific
process bottlenecks.’’ The entire revised
bulleted list under the examples of
proposals addressing critical process
advances that will be considered
nonresponsive is restated below for the
public’s convenience.
Examples of proposals addressing
critical process advances that will be
considered nonresponsive are:
• Any manufacturing process that
offers only incremental improvement
over existing processes;
• Processes that are intended
primarily for military/weaponry
applications (e.g. warhead manufacture,
chemical/biological warfare materials
production);
• Manufacturing processes that
cannot be performed in the U.S. due to
existing laws or regulations;

11JNN1
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Notices
• Projects primarily focused on
production of non-engineered cells or
tissues as therapeutics;
• Projects involving straightforward
scale-up of biopharmaceuticals with
incremental improvements in the
manufacturing processes;
• Projects that involve incremental
improvements in traditional processes
for biomolecule production (e.g. vaccine
production in chicken eggs, hormones
such as insulin extracted from pig
tissue);
• Biomanufacturing projects that
primarily focus on processes for
production of non-biopharmaceutical
products (e.g. production of biofuels or
small molecule drugs);
• Projects that primarily focus on
drug discovery or design of new
biomaterials;
• Projects that primarily focus on
discovery of new production cell
systems;
• Projects that use living genetically
modified vertebrate animals,
invertebrate animals, or plants as
bioreactors for biopharmaceutical
production;
• Production or scale up of scaffolds
or biomaterials used in scaffold design
that are not a part of the manufacturing
of engineered tissues; and
• Projects that do not have a primary
focus (people, equipment, time and/or
funds) on addressing specific process
bottlenecks.
Finally, NIST is clarifying that the
white paper ‘‘Manufacturing and
Biomanufacturing: Materials Advances
and Critical Processes’’ referenced in the
description of Area of Critical National
Need: Manufacturing (75 FR 20327)
only provides background information
related to the selection of this Critical
National Need and the associated
societal challenges; it does not
specifically describe the scope of the
Notice of Availability of Funds.
Administrative Procedure Act and
Regulatory Flexibility Act: Prior notice
and comment are not required under 5
U.S.C. 553, or any other law, for rules
relating to public property, loans,
grants, benefits or contracts (5 U.S.C.
553(a)). Because prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law, the analytical requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore,
a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
E.O. 12866 (Regulatory Planning and
Review): This notice has been
determined to be not significant under
Executive Order 12866.

Disabled.
ACTION: Additions to the Procurement
List.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action adds a product
and services to the Procurement List to
be furnished by nonprofit agencies
employing persons who are blind or
have other severe disabilities.
DATES: Effective Date: 7/12/2010.
ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase
From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled, Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800,
1421 Jefferson Davis Highway,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 4/9/2010 (75 FR 18164–18165),
the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled published a notice of proposed
additions to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide
a product and services and impact of the
addition on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has
determined that a product and services
listed below is suitable for procurement
by the Federal Government under 41
U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in any
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities other than the small
organizations that will provide a
product and services to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to provide a
product and services to the Government.

3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in
connection with this product and
services proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following product
and services are added to the
Procurement List:
Product
Wooden Trunk Locker
NSN: 8460–00–243–3234.
NPA: Employment Source, Inc., Fayetteville,
NC.
Contracting Activity: Defense Logistics
Agency, Defense Supply Center
Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
Coverage: C-List for 50% of the requirements
for the Defense Supply Center
Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
The Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant
to statutory and regulatory
requirements. Committee regulations
states that for a commodity or service to
be suitable for addition to the
Procurement List (PL) each of the
following criteria must be satisfied:
employment potential; nonprofit agency
qualifications, capability, and level of
impact on the current contractor for the
commodity or service.
Comments were received from a
commercial company that claims to
have previously provided this product
to the government. The company stated
that they are not currently providing the
product to the government; however,
placing this item on the PL would
impact them since they would lose the
opportunity to possibly provide this
product to the government in the future.
Prior to placing a product or service on
the PL, the Committee considers impact
on the current or most recent contractor.
The Committee does not consider
impact on any contractor that may have
ever provided a product or service to the
government—only the current or most
recent contractor. The Committee
cannot speculate on the possibility of
particular companies being selected to
provide products and services to the
government in the future.
The commenter also asserted that
there is collusion between the nonprofit
agency and another small business
competitor that will result in its
competitor enjoying a profitable
subcontract forever if the commercial
portion of the trunk locker requirement
is added to the PL. Based on a review,
the Committee is satisfied that the
nonprofit agency complied with its
