The Commission further determines that an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of cold-rolled steel flat products that have been found by Commerce to be subsidized by the government of India.2 The Commission also determines that imports of coldrolled steel flat products from Russia that are sold in the United States at LTFV and subsidized by the government of Russia are negligible. 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 Commissioner F. Scott Kieff dissenting. Commissioner Kieff determines that imports subsidized by the government of India are negligible. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:55 Sep 15, 2016 Jkt 238001 Background The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective July 28, 2015, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by AK Steel Corporation (West Chester, Ohio), ArcelorMittal USA LLC (Chicago, Illinois), Nucor Corporation (Charlotte, North Carolina), Steel Dynamics, Inc. (Fort Wayne, Indiana), and United States Steel Corporation (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of cold-rolled steel flat products from Brazil, India, Korea, and Russia were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of cold-rolled steel flat products imported from Brazil, India, Korea, Russia, and the United Kingdom were dumped within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s investigations 3 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 on March 23, 2016 (81 FR 15559). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on May 24, 2016, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on September 12, 2016. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4637 (September 2016), entitled Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from Brazil, India, Korea, Russia, and the United Kingdom: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–540 and 542–544 and 731–TA–1283, 1285, 1287, and 1289–1290 (Final). By order of the Commission. Issued: September 12, 2016. Lisa R. Barton, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2016–22297 Filed 9–15–16; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020–02–P 3 The Commission also scheduled a final-phase countervailing duty investigation concerning coldrolled flat products from Korea, although Commerce preliminarily determined that de minimis countervailable subsidies were being provided to producers/exporters of certain cold-rolled steel flat products from Korea.

This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Securing Financial Obligations Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) and its Extensions information collection. The LHWCA requires a covered employer to secure the payment of compensation under the Act and its extensions by purchasing insurance from a carrier authorized by the Secretary of Labor to write insurance under the LHWCA, or by becoming an authorized self-insured employer. Each authorized insurance carrier or carrier seeking authorization is required to establish annually that its LHWCA obligations are fully secured through an applicable state guaranty or analogous fund, a deposit of security with the Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation (DLHWC), or a combination of both. Similarly, each authorized self-insurer or employer seeking authorization is required fully to secure its LHWCA obligations by depositing security with the DLHWC. These requirements are designed to assure the prompt and continued payment of compensation and other benefits by the responsible carrier or self-insurer to injured workers and their survivors. Forms associated with this information collection [Forms LS–275 IC, Agreement and Undertaking (Insurance Carrier); LS–275 SI, Agreement and Undertaking (SelfInsured Employer); and LS–276, Application for Security Deposit Determination] obtain information used to determine appropriate security deposit amounts and to insure compliance with the security deposit requirements. LHWCA section 32 authorizes this information collection. See 33 U.S.C. 932. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Securing Financial Obligations Under the Longshore and Harbor 
Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) and its Extensions information 
collection. The LHWCA requires a covered employer to secure the payment 
of compensation under the Act and its extensions by purchasing 
insurance from a carrier authorized by the Secretary of Labor to write 
insurance under the LHWCA, or by becoming an authorized self-insured 
employer. Each authorized insurance carrier or carrier seeking 
authorization is required to establish annually that its LHWCA 
obligations are fully secured through an applicable state guaranty or 
analogous fund, a deposit of security with the Division of Longshore 
and Harbor Workers' Compensation (DLHWC), or a combination of both. 
Similarly, each authorized self-insurer or employer seeking 
authorization is required fully to secure its LHWCA obligations by 
depositing security with the DLHWC. These requirements are designed to 
assure the prompt and continued payment of compensation and other 
benefits by the responsible carrier or self-insurer to injured workers 
and their survivors. Forms associated with this information collection 
[Forms LS-275 IC, Agreement and Undertaking (Insurance Carrier); LS-275 
SI, Agreement and Undertaking (Self-Insured Employer); and LS-276, 
Application for Security Deposit Determination] obtain information used 
to determine appropriate security deposit amounts and to insure 
compliance with the security deposit requirements. LHWCA section 32 
authorizes this information collection. See 33 U.S.C. 932.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1240-0005.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on October 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on June 15, 2016 (81 FR 
39066).
