SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a regular
submission (new collection of
information).
This project is a joint effort of the
University of Utah (U of U), NOAA’s
National Weather Service (NWS), the
Utah Department of Transportation
(UDOT), and NorthWest Weathernet
(NWN) to investigate and understand
the relationship between meteorological
phenomena and road conditions, as well
as public understanding and response to
available forecast information. The
events which impact the Salt Lake City

metro area during the winter of 2010–
2011 will be examined.
Through the administration of a
targeted survey, important details will
be gathered regarding: (a) The
information that drivers possessed prior
to and during a storm, including
knowledge of observed and forecast
weather conditions; (b) sources of
weather and road information; (c) any
modification of travel and/or commute
plans, based on event information; (d)
anticipation and perception of storm
impacts and severity; and (e) perception
and behavioral response to messages
conveyed by the NWS and UDOT, along
with their satisfaction of information
provided. Analyses of the information
gathered will focus on driver
knowledge, perceptions, and
decisionmaking.
Ultimately, the results of this survey
will provide insight on how the Weather
Enterprise may more effectively
communicate hazard information to the
public in a manner which leads to
improved response (i.e., change travel
times, modes, etc.). With a sufficient
level of behavior change, it should be
possible to improve safety and reduce
the costs associated with weatherrelated congestion and associated
delays. Additionally, the project will
shed light upon the interrelationship
between meteorological phenomena,
road conditions, and their combined
impact on travel.
II. Method of Collection
PEGUS Research, a professional firm,
will gather responses via random digit
dialing, with survey participants
providing responses via landline or cell
phone communication.

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(ITC), the Department is issuing a
countervailing duty order on certain
potassium phosphate salts (phosphate
salts) from the People’s Republic of
China (PRC).

Background
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), on June 1, 2010, the Department
published its final determination in the
countervailing duty investigation of
phosphate salts from the PRC. See

Determination and Termination of
Critical Circumstances Inquiry, 75 FR
30375 (June 1, 2010).
On July 15, 2010, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determination,
pursuant to section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act, that an industry in the United
States is materially injured by reason of
subsidized imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC. See Certain
Potassium Phosphate Salts From the
People’s Republic of China, USITC
Publication 4171, Investigation Nos.
701–TA–473 and 731–TA–1173 (Final)
(July 2010). Pursuant to section 706(a) of
the Act, the Department is publishing a
countervailing duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The phosphate salts covered by this
order include anhydrous Dipotassium
Phosphate (DKP) and Tetrapotassium
Pyrophosphate (TKPP), whether
anhydrous or in solution (collectively
‘‘phosphate salts’’).
TKPP, also known as normal
potassium pyrophosphate,
Diphosphoric acid or Tetrapotassium
salt, is a potassium salt with the formula
K4P2O7. The CAS registry number for
TKPP is 7320–34–5. TKPP is typically
18.7% phosphorus and 47.3%
potassium. It is generally greater than or
equal to 43.0% P2O5 content. TKPP is
classified under heading 2835.39.1000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS).
DKP, also known as Dipotassium salt,
Dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate
or Potassium phosphate, dibasic, has a
chemical formula of K2HPO4. The CAS
registry number for DKP is 7758–11–4.
DKP is typically 17.8% phosphorus,
44.8% potassium and 40% P2O5
content. DKP is classified under heading
2835.24.0000, HTSUS.
The products covered by this order
include the foregoing phosphate salts in
all grades, whether food grade or
technical grade. The product covered by
this order includes anhydrous DKP
without regard to the physical form,
whether crushed, granule, powder or
fines. Also covered are all forms of
TKPP, whether crushed, granule,
powder, fines or solution.
For purposes of the order, the
narrative description is dispositive, not
the tariff heading, American Chemical
Society, CAS registry number or CAS
name, or the specific percentage
chemical composition identified above.
Amendment to the Final Determination
Pursuant to the ITC’s final
determination, the scope of this
investigation, and of this order, has
changed. As noted above, the ITC
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
reached a negative determination
regarding Monopotassium Phosphate
(MKP), a type of salt that was included
within the scope of the investigation by
the Department and in our final
determination. As a result of this
negative determination by the ITC, no
order can be issued on imports of MKP
from the PRC. Therefore, the scope
language cited above has been amended
from the Department’s final
determination to remove references to
MKP. The rates established by the
Department in the final determination
were based on adverse facts available
findings, none of which were specific to
MKP. Thus, there have been no
revisions to our final determination
rates, or to any other aspect of our final
determination, outside of the revised
scope definition.
Countervailing Duty Order
On July 15, 2010, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determination,
pursuant to section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act, that an industry in the United
States is materially injured as a result of
subsidized imports of phosphate salts
from the PRC. In its determination, the
ITC found three domestic like products
(DKP, TKPP, and MKP) covering the
scope of subject merchandise subject to
the investigation. The ITC made
affirmative determinations with respect
to DKP and TKPP, and a negative
determination with respect to MKP.
Since the ITC made different affirmative
injury determinations for domestic like
products, the Department must instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on
entries of DKP and TKPP separately
from MKP.
MKP
Because the ITC made a negative
determination of material injury with
respect to MKP, the Department will
direct CBP to terminate the suspension
of liquidation for entries of MKP from
the PRC entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, and to release any bond or
other security, and refund any cash
deposit, posted to secure the payment of
estimated countervailing duties with
respect to these entries.
DKP and TKPP
Because the ITC determined that
imports of DKP and TKPP from the PRC
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
all unliquidated entries of such
potassium phosphate salts from the
PRC, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, are subject to the assessment
of countervailing duties.
In accordance with section 706(a) of
the Act, the Department will direct CBP
