Policy Regarding Timing of Issuance of
Critical Circumstances Determinations,
63 FR 55364 (October 15, 1998).
Respondent Selection
For this investigation, the Department
expects to select respondents based on
CBP data for U.S. imports during the
POI. We intend to make our decision
regarding respondent selection within
20 days of publication of this Federal
Register notice. The Department will
release CBP data under Administrative
Protective Order shortly after the
signature date of this notice. Given that
certain Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States headings used in the
description of the scope of this
investigation are for broad ‘‘basket
categories’’ of merchandise (e.g.,
headings 8501.61.0000 and 8507.20.80),
the Department intends to rely only on
headings 8541.40.6020 and
8541.40.6030, which cover solar cells
exclusively, in selecting respondents.
Therefore, we will only release CBP data
under those same two headings as well.
The Department invites comments
regarding the CBP data and respondent
selection to be submitted to the
Department within seven calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register
notice.
Distribution of Copies of the Petition
In accordance with section
702(b)(4)(A)(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.202(f), a copy of the public version
of the Petition has been provided to
representatives of the GOC. Because of
the particularly large number of
producers/exporters identified in the
Petition, the Department considers the
service of the public version of the
Petition to the foreign producers/
exporters satisfied by the delivery of the
public version to the GOC, consistent
with 19 CFR 351.203(c)(2).
ITC Notification

Preliminary Determination by the ITC
The ITC will preliminarily determine,
within 45 days after the date on which
the Petition was filed, whether there is
a reasonable indication that imports of
subsidized solar cells from the PRC are
causing material injury, or threatening
to cause material injury, to a U.S.
industry. See section 703(a)(2) of the
Act. A negative ITC determination will
result in the investigation being
terminated; otherwise, the investigation
will proceed according to statutory and
regulatory time limits.

the cell.
Subject merchandise may be described at
the time of importation as parts for final
finished products that are assembled after
importation, including, but not limited to,
modules, laminates, panels, buildingintegrated modules, building-integrated
panels, or other finished goods kits. Such
parts that otherwise meet the definition of
subject merchandise are included in the
scope of this investigation.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are thin film photovoltaic
products produced from amorphous silicon
(a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or copper
indium gallium selenide (CIGS).
Also excluded from the scope of this
investigation are crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells, not exceeding 10,000mm2
in surface area, that are permanently
integrated into a consumer good whose
function is other than power generation and
that consumes the electricity generated by
the integrated crystalline silicon photovoltaic
cell. Where more than one cell is
permanently integrated into a consumer
good, the surface area for purposes of this
exclusion shall be the total combined surface
area of all cells that are integrated into the
consumer good.
Merchandise covered by this investigation
is currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff System of the United States (HTSUS)
under subheadings 8501.61.0000, 8507.20.80,
8541.40.6020 and 8541.40.6030. These
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes; the
written description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Following a particularly deadly year
of tornadoes in the United States despite
the existence of adequate warning
information, the need is apparent for
specialized survey data involving the
societal response to the National
Weather Service warning system. The
agency currently operates with
theoretical understanding of warning
response from previous social science
studies from scholars such as Drabek,
Lindell, Gruntfest, and others. More
recent data involving the false alarm
ratio as a hindrance to the seeking of
protective action has been released by
Simmons and Sutter. All of these data
however lack specific, direct responses
from the public regarding how they
handle weather related phenomena,
specifically tornado warnings.
Approximately 16,000 surveys would be
distributed to four different cities. The
results would be compared from one
area of forecast responsibility to another
to determine if differing verification
statistics indicate any change in
response and readiness.
This project seeks to enhance our
understanding by focusing specifically
on the tornado warning program and its
response in an effort to take steps to
reduce loss of life in future tornado
events.
II. Method of Collection
A questionnaire and a self-addressed
postage-paid envelope will be mailed to
respondents.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular (new
information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 67.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
