acid, 0.5 percent maximum aniline, and
0.25 percent maximum alkali insoluble
materials. Sodium salt of sulfanilic acid
(sodium sulfanilate) is a granular or
crystalline material containing 75
percent minimum sulfanilic acid, 0.5
percent maximum aniline, and 0.25
percent maximum alkali insoluble
materials based on the equivalent
sulfanilic acid content.1
The merchandise is currently
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 2921.42.22 and
2921.42.24.90. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of the
orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the AD and CVD orders on
sulfanilic acid would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
or a countervailable subsidy, and
material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
AD orders on sulfanilic acid from the
PRC and India and the CVD order on
sulfanilic acid from India. U.S. Customs
and Border Protection will continue to
collect cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports
of subject merchandise. The effective
date of the continuation of the orders
will be the date of publication in the
Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department
intends to initiate the next five-year
review of the orders not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
These five-year (sunset) reviews and
this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: October 20, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

May 5, 1999, the Department clarified that sodium
sulfanilate processed in Italy from sulfanilic acid
produced in India is within the scope of the AD and
CVD orders on sulfanilic acid from India. See

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1305 of the Energy Independence and
Security Act (EISA) of 2007 (Pub. L.
110–140, 121 Stat. 1492) requires the
Director of NIST ‘‘to coordinate the
development of a framework that
includes protocols and model standards
for information management to achieve
interoperability of smart grid devices
and systems.’’
In January, 2010, NIST published the
NIST Framework and Roadmap for
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards,
Release 1.0 (Release 1.0). Release 1.0
described a high-level conceptual
reference model for the Smart Grid,
identified 75 existing standards that are
applicable (or likely to be applicable) to
the ongoing development of the Smart

Grid, specified 15 high-priority gaps and
harmonization issues for which new or
revised standards and requirements are
needed, documented action plans with
aggressive timelines by which
designated standards-setting
organizations (SSOs) will address these
gaps, and described the strategy to
establish requirements and standards to
help ensure Smart Grid cybersecurity.
NIST announces the publication of
the NIST Framework and Roadmap for
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards,
Release 2.0 (Release 2.0) (Draft) for
public review and comment. The entire
draft version of Release 2.0 (Draft) is
available online at: https://
collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/

2.0 builds upon the work in Release 1.0
with an update on the progress in
closing the previously identified highpriority gaps and additional standards
issues that are now being addressed, a
description of the recently-formed
Smart Grid Interoperability Panel
(SGIP), an expanded cybersecurity
chapter, and a new testing and
certification chapter.
Request for Comments: NIST seeks
comments on the draft framework and
roadmap report. In particular, the
agency requests that: Comments be
categorized as (1) Technical; (2)
editorial; or (3) general. If a comment is
not a general comment, please identify

2011 to be held at the NIST campus,
with the option of participating via webbased meeting. The purpose of the
meeting is to evaluate industry interest
in creating a NIST/industry/Academia
consortium focused on ‘‘Concrete
Rheology: Enabling Metrology
(CREME)’’. The goal of such a
consortium could include determining
key rheological parameters that best
characterize the placement, finishability
and consolidation of concrete. This goal
would be achieved by developing test
methods and models to measure and
predict the performance parameters of
fresh concrete in the lab and at the
construction site. To move these ideas
into practice and to engage industry, test
bed facilities and quality control test
methods for the field would be
developed at NIST consortium
members’ participation. The consortium
would be administered by NIST with
consortium members’ participation.
Consortium planning, research and
development would be conducted by
NIST staff along with at least one
technical representative from each
participating member entities. Each
member of the consortium will be
required to sign a Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement
(‘‘CRADA’’) with NIST. Membership
fees for participation in the consortium
will be Twenty-five Thousand ($25,000)
per year. The initial term of the
consortium is intended to be three
years.
The meeting will take place on
November 8, 2011 from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m., in Bldg. 226/Rm. B205. For those
planning to attend the meeting at the
NIST Gaithersburg campus, please note
