change.15 Based on the foregoing, which
is explained in greater detail in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we
preliminarily determine that Zhejiang
ERA is the successor-in-interest to Era
Solar and, as such, that it is entitled to
Zhejiang ERA’s AD cash deposit rate
with respect to entries of subject
merchandise.
Should our final results remain the
same as these preliminary results,
effective the date of publication of the
final results, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to
suspend liquidation of entries of subject
merchandise exported by Zhejiang ERA
at the AD cash deposit rate applicable
to Era Solar.

Notice of intent to prepare an
EA; request for comments.
ACTION:
NOAA announces its
intention to prepare an EA in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), for the proposed
relocation of NOAA/OAR facilities in
Oak Ridge, TN.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before December 5, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on
suggested alternatives and potential
impacts should be sent to Barbara
Shifflett, Management and Program
Analyst, NOAA/ATDD, PO Box 2456,
Oak Ridge, TN 37831. Comments may
also be submitted via facsimile to 865–
220–1733 or by email to
Barbara.Shifflett@noaa.gov.
SUMMARY:
The
proposed action would involve
relocation of NOAA/OAR offices and
laboratories within the Oak Ridge, TN
area to a larger, modern facility located
in an appropriate research setting. The
Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion
Division (ATDD), located in Oak Ridge,
TN, is part of NOAA’s Air Resources
Laboratory (ARL). Research conducted
at this laboratory includes experimental
and theoretical research on air quality
issues, urban dispersion studies and insitu testbed development, and landatmosphere interactions and the
interactions with regional water budgets
for representative U.S. ecosystems.
The current physical space for ATDD
consists of four buildings that together
provide office space, laboratory space,
staging and assembly and a machine
shop. In addition, six shipping/storage
containers are used to securely store
field equipment and supplies,
meteorological instrumentation, and
power systems for remote climate
stations. The current ATDD facilities are
approximately 17,573 square feet which
includes office space, auditorium and
kitchen space, warehouse and storage
space and staging areas. Current space
can house up to 36 staff, including fulltime employees, visiting scientists and
students, and contract employees.
ATDD needs additional space to
accommodate offices for staff expansion,
visiting scientists and students, as well
as space for additional lab work,
engineering assembly, sensor calibration
and testing, and sensor prototyping and
evaluation. NOAA/OAR needs at least
12,500 additional or 30,000 total square
feet of space to effectively house
personnel and equipment necessary to
meet ATDD’s mission.
Research programs at ATDD will
continue over the next decade and

beyond at approximately their current
levels, with moderate growth in staffing
to accommodate emerging programs
associated with water and drought
planning, climate testbeds and airsurface exchange research. Partnerships
with several universities will continue
and new partnerships will be
established, with a resulting small
influx of students and faculty for short
and long-term visits. The need for shop,
lab, and storage space for testing and
evaluation of new sensor technologies
will continue to grow.
Programs are often delayed by having
to displace partially completed work
from available space to complete a
project or repair a system with a more
urgent timeline. The existing facility
severely limits ATDD’s ability to
implement a primary NOAA goal of
working with private industry,
universities, and national and
international agencies to create and
leverage partnerships for more effective
research; we frequently encounter such
opportunities, but are limited when
offering space to accommodate visitors
to work with our existing staff.
ATDD’s property has historically been
used by scientists as a testbed for many
systems prior to their deployment into
the field. Given the increase in traffic
and commercial development in the
local area, the testbed data are suspect
with regards to accuracy of
measurements and actual reliability.
The purpose of the public scoping
process for this EA is to determine
relevant issues that will influence the
scope of the environmental analysis,
including potential alternatives, and the
extent to which those issues and
impacts will be analyzed in the EA.
Federal, state, and local agencies, along
with other stakeholders that may be
interested in or affected by NOAA’s
decision on this project are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be requested
by NOAA to participate as a cooperating
agency.

project to inform consideration of
potential changes to the allocation of
annual catch and landings limits
between the commercial and
recreational sectors of the summer
flounder fishery. This analysis aims to
determine which allocations would
maximize benefits to the commercial
and recreational sectors. The results of
this project and peer review are
scheduled to be presented to the
MAFMC in December 2016.
