SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
I. Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
manages eight Department of the
Interior (DOI) Climate Science Centers
(CSC). Each CSC involves a cooperative
agreement with a host institution. The
initial host institution agreements will
be re-competed, requiring collection of
information from potential host
institutions. In addition, this
information collection addresses
quarterly and annual reporting required
of host institutions.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1028–0096.
Form Number: NA.
Title: Department of the Interior
Regional Climate Science Centers.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondent Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency of Collection: Information
will be collected one time every five
years (approximately) for each CSC, to
enable re-competition of CSC hosting
agreements. In addition, host
institutions are required to fill four
quarterly financial statements and one
annual progress report.
Description of Respondents:
Institutions that are expected to propose
to serve as CSC host or partner
institutions include State, local
government, and tribal entities,
including academic institutions.
Existing host institutions are State
academic institutions.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: USGS expects to request
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:44 Aug 10, 2016
Jkt 238001
proposals for a maximum of three CSCs
in any year, and to receive an average
of five proposals per CSC-request, for a
total of fifteen proposals in any single
year. USGS expects to enter into hosting
agreements with a minimum of eight
CSC host institutions. Thus USGS
would request quarterly financial
statements and annual progress reports
covering host agreements from eight
institutions. In addition, USGS expects
to have in place approximately forty
cooperative agreements per year
addressing specific research projects
funded under these hosting agreements.
Each of these 40 agreements requires
quarterly financial statements and one
annual progress report.
Estimated Time per Response: Each
proposal for CSC hosting is expected to
take 200 hours to complete. The time
required to complete quarterly and
annual reports for any specific host
cooperative agreement or research
project agreement is expected to total
2.5 hours per report.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: A
maximum of 3,000 hours in years when
proposals are requested, and 1 hours in
those years with only quarterly and
annual reporting.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this collection
of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor and
you are not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until the OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obliged to respond.
Comments: On September 1, 2015, we
published a Federal Register notice (80
FR 52786) announcing that we would
submit this ICR to OMB for approval
and soliciting comments. The comment
period closed on November 2, 2015. We
received no comments.
III. Request for Comments
We again invite comments concerning
this ICR as to: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the agency to perform its duties,
including whether the information is
useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) how to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) how to minimize the
burden on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

Officer.
The
Commission instituted this investigation
on May 9, 2016, based on a complaint
and supplements filed on behalf of
WCM Industries, Inc., (‘‘complainant’’)
of Colorado Springs, Colorado. 81 FR
28104 (May 9, 2016). The complaint as
supplemented alleges violations of
Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the sale for
importation, importation, or sale within
the United States after importation of
certain overflow and drain assemblies
for bathtubs and components thereof by
reason of infringement of certain claims
of U.S. Patent No. 8,302,220; U.S. Patent
No. 8,321,970; U.S. Patent No.
8,584,272; and U.S. Patent No.
9,200,436. The complaint further alleges
that an industry in the United States
exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of
section 337. The Notice of Investigation
names Bridging Partners Corporation
(‘‘BPC’’) of Taipei, Taiwan; BEC of
Taipei, Taiwan; and Everflow Industrial
Supply Corporation (‘‘EIS’’) of
Changhua, Taiwan as respondents. BPC
and EIS were previously terminated
from the investigation based on consent
order stipulations and consent orders.
Order No. 3 (unreviewed).
On July 1, 2016, complainant filed a
motion to terminate the investigation as
to BEC based on a consent order
stipulation and proposed consent order.
On July 11, 2016, the ALJ granted the
motion. Order No. 6. The ALJ found that
the consent order stipulation and the
proposed consent order comply with the
Commission’s rules. The ALJ also found
that there is no evidence that
termination of the investigation as to
BEC would be contrary to the public
interest. Id. at 4. No petitions for review
were filed.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID and has issued
a consent order. Since BEC is the last
remaining respondent in the
investigation, this action terminates the
investigation.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).

[Investigation No. 731–TA–1279 (Final)]
Hydrofluorocarbon Blends and
Components From China;
Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigation, the United
States International Trade Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant
to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’),
that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of hydrofluorocarbon (‘‘HFC’’) blends
from China, provided for in subheading
3824.78.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have
been found by the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in
the United States at less than fair value
(‘‘LTFV’’).2 The Commission further
determines that a U.S. industry is not
materially injured or threatened with
material injury by reason of imports of
HFC components from China.
Background
The Commission, pursuant to section
735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)),
instituted this investigation effective
June 25, 2015, following receipt of a
petition filed with the Commission and
Commerce by the American HFC
Coalition, and its members: Amtrol,
Inc., West Warwick, Rhode Island;
Arkema, Inc., King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania; The Chemours Company
FC, LLC, Wilmington, Delaware;
Honeywell International Inc.,
Morristown, New Jersey; Hudson
Technologies, Pearl River, New York;
Mexichem Fluor Inc., St. Gabriel,
Louisiana; Worthington Industries, Inc.,
Columbus, Ohio; and District Lodge 154
of the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers.3
The Commission scheduled the final
1 The
record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19
CFR 207.2(f)).
2 The Commission also finds that imports subject
to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances
determination are not likely to undermine seriously
the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order
on HFC blends from China.
3 The Commission did not grant Amtrol, Inc. and
Worthington Industries, Inc. interested party status
because neither qualifies as an interested party
under 19 U.S.C. 1677(9). Neither firm produces or
blends the subject products.

phase of the investigation following
notification of a preliminary
determination by Commerce that
imports of hydrofluorocarbon blends
and components from China were being
sold at LTFV within the meaning of
section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of
the final phase of the Commission’s
investigation and of a public hearing to
be held in connection therewith was
given by posting copies of the notice in
the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of March
1, 2016 (81 FR 10662). The hearing was
held in Washington, DC, on June 21,
2016, and all persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
The Commission made this
determination pursuant to section
735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)).
It completed and filed its determination
in this investigation on August 5, 2016.
