SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 24, 1996, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on pasta from
Italy.1 On remand, Del Verde S.p.A. was
found to have a de minimis dumping
margin, and was therefore excluded
from the antidumping order.2
On July 18, 2012, Delverde Industrie
requested that the Department initiate a
changed circumstances review to
determine that, for purposes of the
antidumping law, Delverde Industrie is
the successor-in-interest to Del Verde
S.p.A.3
Scope of the Order

Effective July 1, 2008, gluten free pasta

The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable under items
1902.19.20 and 1901.90.9095 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the order is dispositive.
Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Review
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), the
Department will conduct a changed
circumstances review upon receipt of
information concerning, or a request
from an interested party for a review of,
an antidumping duty order which
shows changed circumstances sufficient
to warrant a review of the order. In
antidumping duty changed
circumstances reviews involving a
successor-in-interest determination, the
Department typically examines several
factors including, but not limited to: (1)
Management; (2) production facilities;
(3) supplier relationships; and (4)
customer base.5
Based on the information Delverde
Industrie submitted in its July 18, 2012,
letter, we find that we have received
information which shows changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant
initiation of such a review in order to
determine whether Delverde Industrie is
the successor-in-interest to Del Verde
S.p.A.6 Therefore, in accordance with
the above-referenced statute and
regulation, the Department is initiating
a changed circumstances review.
We intend to issue the final results of
the changed circumstances review
within 270 days from the date of
initiation of this changed circumstance
review, or within 45 days if all parties
to the proceeding agree to the outcome
of the review.7 During the course of this
review, we will not change the cash
deposit requirements for the subject
merchandise. The cash deposit rate will

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The questionnaire approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in August 2011 has been revised
in order to be a more effective tool for
gathering information on the use of
elevators during building evacuations.
Some questions and possible answers to
those questions have been revised or
modified to ensure privacy of possible
respondents.
NIST’s research on elevators has
primarily focused on the technical

aspects of ensuring safe and reliable
evacuation for the occupants of tall
buildings. In addition, the International
Code Council and the National Fire
Protection Association provide
requirements for the use of elevators for
both occupant evacuation and fire
fighter access into the building.
However, there still is little
understanding of how occupants use
elevator systems during fire
emergencies.
The main focus of this research effort
is to gain an understanding of how
elevators are currently used by
occupants of existing multi-story
buildings in the United States during
fire emergencies. This research aims to
summarize emergency plans and
procedures from buildings that make
use of one or multiple elevators from the
existing elevator system (used for
normal building traffic) for the
evacuation of building occupants during
fire emergencies. Building managers and
designated safety personnel from
existing buildings in the United States,
including federal buildings, will be
contacted to fill out a questionnaire
asking how the buildings’ evacuation
plans incorporate the use of the existing
elevator system to evacuate occupants
during fire emergencies, specifically
individuals with disabilities, if at all.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Act
(16 U.S.C. 1431, et seq.) authorizes the
use of research and monitoring within
National Marine Sanctuaries (NMS). In
1996, the Flower Gardens Bank National
Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) was added
to the system of NMS via 15 CFR part
922, subpart L. In 2001, Stetson Bank
was added in a revision of 15 CFR part
922.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Act
(NMSA) specifies that each NMS should
revise their management plans on a fiveyear cycle. The FGBNMS has begun the
management plan review process. The
NMSA also allows for the creation of
Sanctuary Advisory Councils (SACs).
SACs are comprised of representatives
of all NMS stakeholders. Management
Plan Review (MPR) is a public process
and the SACs, along with a series of
public meetings, are used to help scope
out issues in revising the management
plans and regulations. SAC Working
Groups are often used to evaluate
management or regulatory alternatives.
In the current MPR for the FGBNMS,
two major issues have emerged:
Boundary expansion and research-only
areas. In addition, several new or
modified regulations are being
considered to meet specific needs for
diver safety and resource protection (no
anchoring/mooring buoy use
requirement and a more stringent
pollution discharge regulation).
To address each one these issues, a
socioeconomic panel composed of
NOAA staff and social scientists from
other agencies, or from universities,
developed information and tools to
assess the socioeconomic impacts of
management strategies and regulatory
alternatives. The information and tools
developed in this process will also
provide the necessary information for
meeting agency requirements for
socioeconomic impact analyses under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), Executive Order 12086
(Regulatory Impact Review) and an
Initial and Final Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis (impacts on small businesses).
Our initial plan, as the first step in the
assessment process, was to interview
