eligible for a CE as such a determination
would be inconsistent with NEPA or
CEQ regulations. Specifically, NEPA
and CEQ regulations require that an
agency consider and make a
determination related to the
environmental impacts of a proposed
action.30 FirstNet, consistent with CEQ
regulations and its revised
implementing procedures, will conduct
site-specific reviews for each new tower
to determine the appropriate level of
NEPA review.
Second, FirstNet asserts that
compliance with its revised NEPA
implementing procedures will provide
sufficient information for FirstNet to
review and make a determination as to
the appropriate level of NEPA review
for any site-specific action, including
new installations that are above 199 feet
AGL, not co-located with existing
facilities or are guyed. In particular, as
discussed above, FirstNet’s revised
NEPA implementing procedures
include, among other statutory and
regulatory references, specific language
identifying the BGEPA, MBTA, and E.O.
13186, Responsibilities of Federal
Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds as
areas, that should be considered, as
appropriate, as part of a NEPA review.31
Furthermore, as previously stated,
FirstNet, in accordance with its
implementing procedures, upon
reviewing a proposed action that would
otherwise be categorically excluded,
including those installations described
by DOI, could, as previously mentioned,
determine that the proposed action may
potentially have a significant impact
and on its own motion require the

31 FirstNet also notes that, in general, the FCC
rules require new tower construction to (1) receive
approval from the state or local governing authority
for the proposed site; (2) comply with FCC rules
implementing NEPA; (3) comply with ESA and
NHPA (including Section 106). Moreover,
depending on the tower’s height and location
(generally towers more than 200 feet above ground
level or located near an airport), construction may
also require Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
notification and clearance and Antenna Structure
Registration (ASR) with the FCC. Thus, in addition
to FirstNet’s implementing procedures, there are
other regulatory requirements applicable to
FirstNet, as an FCC licensee, which may provide
information related to environmental resources and
be considered as part of a NEPA and ensure
compliance with other applicable laws.

development of an environmental
assessment.32
Accordingly, FirstNet’s NEPA review
process, inclusive of the existing
language related to MBTA and BGEPA
and in addition to its various other
extraordinary circumstances, adequately
accounts for the resources and potential
environmental impacts necessary for
FirstNet to make a NEPA determination
related to the proposed action,
including whether the development of
an EA is necessary to determine the
environmental impacts.
Finally, FirstNet recognizes, as noted
by the DOI, that the FWS has formulated
best practices for tower siting to address
the potential effects of tower and
antenna structures on migratory birds.
FirstNet has taken steps that will align
the deployment of the NPSBN with
these best practices, particularly by
adopting a strategy that will facilitate
tower co-locations. Consistent with the
DOI’s tower siting guidance, FirstNet
has sought and entered into an
agreement to utilize, to the maximum
extent economically desirable, existing
commercial or other communications
infrastructure in the establishment of
the NPSBN.33 As a result, the vast
majority of antenna structures currently
planned for deployment on the NPSBN
will be co-locations on existing
communication towers or other
structures. Thus, FirstNet, in accordance
with the DOI voluntary guidelines, has
already undertaken efforts to reduce the
potential impacts of NPSBN deployment
on migratory birds through the design of
its program.
Nevertheless, FirstNet, consistent
with the FCC’s recommendation to its
licensees, will consider implementing
these voluntary guidelines, as
practicable and feasible, in the
deployment of the NPSBN, but will not
make them a mandatory requirement of
NPSBN deployment.

environmental effects to assist the

proposed action.
Response: FirstNet agrees, and,
consistent with CEQ regulations,
intends to coordinate and provide
environmental documents, as
appropriate, to other federal agencies
having jurisdiction over all or part of a
FirstNet proposed action, including
those that may have permitting
authority applicable to NPSBN
deployment.34

Jkt 244001
Background
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on
December 11, 2017, Commerce
published its affirmative final
determinations in the countervailing
duty investigations of cold-drawn
mechanical tubing from China and
India.1 On January 24, 2018, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final
affirmative determination, pursuant to
section 705(d) of the Act, that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of subsidized imports of colddrawn mechanical tubing from China
and India.2 Further, the ITC determined
that critical circumstances do not exist
with respect to imports of cold-drawn
mechanical tubing from China.
Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these orders
is cold-drawn mechanical tubing from
China and India. For a complete

Commerce is issuing countervailing
duty orders on certain cold-drawn

description of the scope of these orders,
see the Appendix to this notice.
Countervailing Duty Orders
As stated above, on January 24, 2018,
in accordance with sections 705(d) of
the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of
its final determination that an industry
in the United States is materially
injured by reason of subsidized imports
of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from
China and India.3 Therefore, in
accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the
Act, Commerce is issuing these
countervailing duty orders. Because the
ITC determined that imports of colddrawn mechanical tubing from China
and India are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from China and India,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of countervailing duties.
As a result of the ITC’s final
determination, in accordance with
section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce
will direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce,
countervailing duties on unliquidated
entries of cold-drawn mechanical tubing
from China and India entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after September 25,
2017, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determinations,4 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication in the
Federal Register of the ITC’s final injury
determination.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 706 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
reinstitute the suspension of liquidation
on all entries of subject merchandise
from China and India, applicable the
