finished, of a kind used in furnaces,
with a nominal or actual diameter of
400 millimeters (16 inches) or less, and
whether or not attached to a graphite
pin joining system or any other type of
joining system or hardware. The subject
merchandise is currently classifiable
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 8545.11.0010 2 and
3801.10. The HTSUS numbers are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, but the written description of
the scope is dispositive. A full
description of the scope of the order is

that it is appropriate to rescind the new
shipper review with respect to
Jianglong.4

Assessment Rates
Jianglong’s entries are currently
subject to the PRC-wide rate. Although
we intend to rescind this new shipper
review, we initiated an administrative
review for the period February 1, 2014,
through January 31, 2015, which also
covers the entries subject to this new
shipper review.10 Accordingly, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend
entries during the period February 1,
2014, through January 31, 2015, of
subject merchandise exported by
Jianglong until CBP receives
instructions relating to the
administrative review covering the
period February 1, 2014, through
January 31, 2015.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of the final
rescission or the final results of this new
shipper review, we will instruct CBP to
discontinue the option of posting a bond
or security in lieu of a cash deposit for
entries of subject merchandise by
Jianglong. If we proceed to a final
rescission of this new shipper review,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the PRC-wide rate for Jianglong. If we
issue final results of the new shipper
review, we will instruct CBP to collect
cash deposits, effective upon the
publication of the final results, at the
rate established therein.

occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

Request for Information Regarding
Online Platforms To Promote Federal
Science and Technology Facilities,

National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; Request for Information
(RFI)
AGENCY:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and
other member laboratories of the Federal
Laboratory Consortium for Technology
Transfer (FLC) offer a variety of
specialized scientific and technical
facilities, products, and services to the
public, including access to
instrumentation, reference materials,
software, and calibrations. Access to
such services is provided in a variety of
ways, and may require the payment of
fees or other costs and/or an application
or agreement. NIST and other members
of the FLC request information from the
public regarding recommendations for
online platforms that can broaden
awareness and make it easier for the
public to search for, locate, learn about,
and obtain access to these facilities,
products, and services. The information
received in response to this RFI will be
provided by NIST to various interagency
groups for consideration and used to
publicize various federal facilities and
resources.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received by
5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 29, 2015.
Written comments in response to the
RFI should be submitted according to
the instructions in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below. Submissions
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.

MD 20899, 301–975–4189, or by email
to courtney.silverthorn@nist.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Private
sector online platforms could improve
the availability of scientific and
technical resources and services in a
number of ways. For example, a private
sector online platform might maintain a
database of such resources and provide
a simple way for a member of the public
to initiate access. NIST and other
member laboratories will evaluate
submitted platforms for technology and
research capability matches and may
contact appropriate platforms directly to
arrange for possible publication of
specific facilities, products, and/or
services. NIST and other members of the
FLC are especially interested in
recommendations that can broaden
awareness and improve access at no cost
to the government.
As part of the Open Data initiative,
NIST and other members of the FLC can
make data about the resources of
interest available to the public. For
examples, see:

the following formats: ASCII; Word;
RTF; or PDF. Please include your name,
organization’s name (if any), and cite
‘‘Online Technology Platforms RFI’’ in
the subject line of all correspondence.
NIST is specifically interested in
receiving input pertaining to the
following questions:
(1) What is the web address of the
online platform you are recommending?
Is the platform specific to a particular
research sector (i.e. molecular biology,
physical sciences, calibration services,
etc.) or is it a general platform?
(2) What is the cost model of the
online platform you are recommending?
Is there a listing fee, a percentage of the
service fee retained, or is it a no-cost
information listing only?
