be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that
received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all
PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled
to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be the PRC-wide rate of 99.14
percent; and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping 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 duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This administrative review and notice
are in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.
Dated: May 30, 2012.

standards and requests Public Input to
amend existing or begin the process of
developing new NFPA fire safety codes
and standards. The purpose of this
request is to increase public
participation in the system used by
NFPA to develop its codes and
standards.
DATES: Interested persons may submit
Public Input by 5:00 p.m. EST/EDST on
or before the date listed with the code
or standard.
ADDRESSES: Amy Beasley Cronin,
Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) proposes to revise some of its
fire safety codes and standards and
requests Public Input to amend existing
or begin the process of developing new
NFPA fire safety codes and standards.
The purpose of this request is to
increase public participation in the
system used by NFPA to develop its
codes and standards. The publication of
this notice of request for Public Input by
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) on behalf of NFPA is
being undertaken as a public service;
NIST does not necessarily endorse,
approve, or recommend any of the
standards referenced in the notice.
The NFPA process provides ample
opportunity for public participation in
the development of its codes and
standards. All NFPA codes and
standards are revised and updated every
three to five years in Revision Cycles
that begin twice each year and take
approximately two years to complete.
Each Revision Cycle proceeds according
to a published schedule that includes
final dates for all major events in the
process. The Code Revision Process
contains four basic steps that are
followed for developing new documents
as well as revising existing documents.
Step 1: Public Input Stage, which results
in the First Draft Report (formerly ROP);
Step 2: Comment Stage, which results in
the Second Draft Report (formerly ROC);
Step 3: The Association Technical
Meeting at the NFPA Conference &
Expo; and Step 4: Standards Council
consideration and issuance of
documents.
Note: NFPA rules state that, anyone
wishing to make Amending Motions on the
Public Comments, Second Revisions, or
Committee Comments must signal his or her
PO 00000

intention by submitting a Notice of Intent to
Make a Motion by 5:00 p.m. EST/EDST of the
Deadline stated in the Second Draft Report.
Certified motions will then be posted on the
NFPA Web site. Documents that receive
notice of proper Amending Motions
(Certified Amending Motions) will be
presented for action at the Association
Technical Meeting at the NFPA Conference &
Expo. Documents that receive no motions
will be forwarded directly to the Standards
Council for action on issuance.
For more information on these rules
and for up-to-date information on
schedules and deadlines for processing
NFPA Codes and Standards, check the
NFPA Web site at www.nfpa.org, or
contact NFPA Codes and Standards
Administration.
Background
The National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) develops building,
fire, and electrical safety codes and
standards. Federal agencies frequently
use these codes and standards as the
basis for developing Federal regulations
concerning fire safety. Often, the Office
of the Federal Register approves the
incorporation by reference of these
standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1
CFR part 51.
When a Technical Committee begins
the development of a new or revised
NFPA code or standard, it enters one of
two Revision Cycles available each year.
The Revision Cycle begins with the Call
for Public Input, that is, a public notice
asking for any interested persons to
submit specific Input for developing or
revising a code or standards. The Call
for Public Input is published in a variety
of publications.
Following the Call for Public Input
period, the Technical Committee holds
a meeting to consider all the submitted
Public Input and make Revisions
accordingly. A document known as the
First Draft Report (formerly ROP), is
prepared containing all the Public
Input, the Technical Committee’s
response to each Input, as well as all
Committee-generated First Revisions.
The First Draft is then submitted for the
approval of the Technical Committee by
a formal written ballot. Any Revisions
that do not receive approval by a twothirds vote calculated in accordance
with NFPA rules will not appear in the
First Draft. If the necessary approval is
received, the Revisions are published in
the First Draft Report that is posted on
the NFPA Web site at www.nfpa.org for
public review and comment, and the
process continues to the next step.
Once the First Draft Report becomes
available, there is a 10 week comment
period during which anyone may
submit a Comment on the proposed
changes in the First Draft Report. The
E:\FR\FM\08JNN1.SGM
08JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2012 / Notices
Committee then reconvenes at the end
of the Comment period and acts on all
Comments.
As before, a two-thirds approval vote
by written ballot of the eligible members
of the Committee is required for
approval of the Second Revisions. All of
this information is compiled into a
second report, called the Second Draft
Report (formerly ROC), which, like the
First Draft Report, is published, and is
made available for public review for a
five-week period.
The process of public input and
review does not end with the
publication of the First Draft Report and
Second Draft Report. Following the
completion of the Public Input and
Comment periods, there is further
opportunity for debate and discussion
through the Association Technical
Meeting that takes place at the NFPA
Conference & Expo.
The Association Technical Meeting
provides an opportunity for the
Technical Committee Report (i.e., the
First Draft Report and Second Draft
Report) on each proposed new or
revised code or standard to be presented
to the NFPA membership for the debate
and consideration of motions to amend
the Report. Before making an allowable
motion at an Association Technical
Meeting, the intended maker of the
motion must file, in advance of the
session, and within the published
deadline, a Notice of Intent to Make a
Motion (NITMAM). A Motions
Committee appointed by the Standards
Council then reviews all notices and
certifies all amending motions that are
proper. Only these Certified Amending
Motions, together with certain allowable
Follow-Up Motions (that is, motions
that have become necessary as a result
of previous successful amending
motions) will be allowed at the
Association Technical Meeting.
For more information on dates/
locations of NFPA Technical Committee
meetings and NFPA Conference & Expo,
check the NFPA Web site at:
www.nfpa.org/tcmeetings.
The specific rules for the types of
motions that can be made and who can
make them are set forth in NFPA’s
Regulations Governing the Development
of NFPA Standards which should
always be consulted by those wishing to
bring an issue before the membership at
an Association Technical Meeting.
Request for Public Input
Interested persons may submit Public
Input supported by data, views, and
substantiation. Public Input should be
submitted online for each specific
document (i.e., www.nfpa.org/
publicinput). Public Input received by
5:00 p.m. EST/EDST on or before the
closing date indicated with each code or
standard would be acted on by the
Committee, and then considered by the
NFPA Membership at the Association
Technical Meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272(b)(1).
The proposed NNMI initiative focuses
on strengthening and ensuring the longterm competitiveness and job-creating
power of U.S. manufacturing. The
constituent IMIs will bring together
industry, universities and community
colleges, federal agencies, and U.S.
states to accelerate innovation by
investing in industrially-relevant
manufacturing technologies with broad
applications to bridge the gap between
basic research and product
development, provide shared assets to
help companies—particularly small
manufacturers—access cutting-edge
capabilities and equipment, and create
an unparalleled environment to educate
and train students and workers in
advanced manufacturing skills. The
President’s proposed FY 2013 budget
includes $1 billion for this proposed
initiative.
Each IMI will serve as a regional hub
of manufacturing excellence, providing
the innovation infrastructure to support
regional manufacturing and ensuring
that our manufacturing sector is a key
pillar in an economy that is built to last.
Each IMI also will have a well-defined
technology focus to address
industrially-relevant manufacturing
challenges on a large scale and to
provide the capabilities and facilities

required to reduce the cost and risk of
commercializing new technologies.
In his March 9, 2012 announcement,
President Obama proposed building a
national network consisting of up to 15
IMIs.
On December 15, 2011, Commerce
Secretary John Bryson announced the
Advanced Manufacturing National
Program Office (AMNPO) that is hosted
by the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) 2. The AMNPO
is charged with convening and enabling
industry-led, private-public
partnerships focused on manufacturing
innovation and engaging U.S.
universities; and designing and
implementing an integrated ‘‘whole of
government’’ advanced manufacturing
initiative to facilitate collaboration and
information sharing across federal
agencies.
The AMNPO coordinated and held
the first ‘‘Designing for Impact:
Workshop on Building the National
Network for Manufacturing Innovation’’
on April 25, 2012, at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
On May 4, 2012 the AMNPO issued a
Request for Information (RFI), seeking
public comment on specific questions
related to the structure and operations
of the NNMI and IMIs. The RFI was
published in the Federal Register and
may be found at: https://www.gpo.gov/
fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-05-04/pdf/201210809.pdf. Comments in response to the
RFI are due on or before 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time on October 25, 2012.
Individuals planning to attend the
second public workshop must sign-up
in advance. See sign-up information in
the DATES and ADDRESSES sections
above.
Announcements of additional
workshops may be found at: https://

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Institute of Standards and Technology
National Fire Codes: Request for Public Input for Revision of
Codes and Standards
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice contains the list of National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) documents opening for Public Input, and it also
contains information on the NFPA Revision Process. The National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is publishing this notice
on behalf of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to
announce the NFPA's proposal to revise some of its fire safety codes
and standards and requests Public Input to amend existing or begin the
process of developing new NFPA fire safety codes and standards. The
purpose of this request is to increase public participation in the
system used by NFPA to develop its codes and standards.
DATES: Interested persons may submit Public Input by 5:00 p.m. EST/EDST
on or before the date listed with the code or standard.
ADDRESSES: Amy Beasley Cronin, Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169-7471.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Beasley Cronin, NFPA, Secretary,
Standards Council, at above address, (617) 770-3000. David F. Alderman,
NIST, at 301-975-4019.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) proposes to revise some of its fire safety codes and standards
and requests Public Input to amend existing or begin the process of
developing new NFPA fire safety codes and standards. The purpose of
this request is to increase public participation in the system used by
NFPA to develop its codes and standards. The publication of this notice
of request for Public Input by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) on behalf of NFPA is being undertaken as a public
service; NIST does not necessarily endorse, approve, or recommend any
of the standards referenced in the notice.
The NFPA process provides ample opportunity for public
participation in the development of its codes and standards. All NFPA
codes and standards are revised and updated every three to five years
in Revision Cycles that begin twice each year and take approximately
two years to complete. Each Revision Cycle proceeds according to a
published schedule that includes final dates for all major events in
the process. The Code Revision Process contains four basic steps that
are followed for developing new documents as well as revising existing
documents. Step 1: Public Input Stage, which results in the First Draft
Report (formerly ROP); Step 2: Comment Stage, which results in the
Second Draft Report (formerly ROC); Step 3: The Association Technical
Meeting at the NFPA Conference & Expo; and Step 4: Standards Council
consideration and issuance of documents.
Note: NFPA rules state that, anyone wishing to make Amending
Motions on the Public Comments, Second Revisions, or Committee
Comments must signal his or her intention by submitting a Notice of
Intent to Make a Motion by 5:00 p.m. EST/EDST of the Deadline stated
in the Second Draft Report. Certified motions will then be posted on
the NFPA Web site. Documents that receive notice of proper Amending
Motions (Certified Amending Motions) will be presented for action at
the Association Technical Meeting at the NFPA Conference & Expo.
Documents that receive no motions will be forwarded directly to the
Standards Council for action on issuance.
For more information on these rules and for up-to-date information
on schedules and deadlines for processing NFPA Codes and Standards,
check the NFPA Web site at www.nfpa.org, or contact NFPA Codes and
Standards Administration.
Background
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develops building,
fire, and electrical safety codes and standards. Federal agencies
frequently use these codes and standards as the basis for developing
Federal regulations concerning fire safety. Often, the Office of the
Federal Register approves the incorporation by reference of these
standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.
When a Technical Committee begins the development of a new or
revised NFPA code or standard, it enters one of two Revision Cycles
available each year. The Revision Cycle begins with the Call for Public
Input, that is, a public notice asking for any interested persons to
submit specific Input for developing or revising a code or standards.
The Call for Public Input is published in a variety of publications.
Following the Call for Public Input period, the Technical Committee
holds a meeting to consider all the submitted Public Input and make
Revisions accordingly. A document known as the First Draft Report
(formerly ROP), is prepared containing all the Public Input, the
Technical Committee's response to each Input, as well as all Committee-
generated First Revisions. The First Draft is then submitted for the
approval of the Technical Committee by a formal written ballot. Any
Revisions that do not receive approval by a two-thirds vote calculated
in accordance with NFPA rules will not appear in the First Draft. If
the necessary approval is received, the Revisions are published in the
First Draft Report that is posted on the NFPA Web site at www.nfpa.org
for public review and comment, and the process continues to the next
step.
Once the First Draft Report becomes available, there is a 10 week
comment period during which anyone may submit a Comment on the proposed
changes in the First Draft Report. The
[[Page 34021]]
Committee then reconvenes at the end of the Comment period and acts on
all Comments.
As before, a two-thirds approval vote by written ballot of the
eligible members of the Committee is required for approval of the
Second Revisions. All of this information is compiled into a second
report, called the Second Draft Report (formerly ROC), which, like the
First Draft Report, is published, and is made available for public
review for a five-week period.
The process of public input and review does not end with the
publication of the First Draft Report and Second Draft Report.
Following the completion of the Public Input and Comment periods, there
is further opportunity for debate and discussion through the
Association Technical Meeting that takes place at the NFPA Conference &
Expo.
The Association Technical Meeting provides an opportunity for the
Technical Committee Report (i.e., the First Draft Report and Second
Draft Report) on each proposed new or revised code or standard to be
presented to the NFPA membership for the debate and consideration of
motions to amend the Report. Before making an allowable motion at an
Association Technical Meeting, the intended maker of the motion must
file, in advance of the session, and within the published deadline, a
Notice of Intent to Make a Motion (NITMAM). A Motions Committee
appointed by the Standards Council then reviews all notices and
certifies all amending motions that are proper. Only these Certified
Amending Motions, together with certain allowable Follow-Up Motions
(that is, motions that have become necessary as a result of previous
successful amending motions) will be allowed at the Association
Technical Meeting.
For more information on dates/locations of NFPA Technical Committee
meetings and NFPA Conference & Expo, check the NFPA Web site at:
www.nfpa.org/tcmeetings.
The specific rules for the types of motions that can be made and
who can make them are set forth in NFPA's Regulations Governing the
Development of NFPA Standards which should always be consulted by those
wishing to bring an issue before the membership at an Association
Technical Meeting.
Request for Public Input
Interested persons may submit Public Input supported by data,
views, and substantiation. Public Input should be submitted online for
each specific document (i.e., www.nfpa.org/publicinput). Public Input
received by 5:00 p.m. EST/EDST on or before the closing date indicated
with each code or standard would be acted on by the Committee, and then
considered by the NFPA Membership at the Association Technical Meeting.
