entering subject merchandise at the
lower all-others cash deposit rate as
opposed to the cash deposit rate
applicable to HHI. Because we
preliminarily find that HEES is the
successor-in-interest to HHI, we also
preliminarily determine that, as a result
of Hyundai’s business decision to spin
off HEES and for HEES to enter subject
merchandise as the manufacturer and/or
exporter, the efficacy of the Order is
undermined, depriving the domestic
industry of the full magnitude of the
remedy via the payment of appropriate
cash deposits applicable to HHI.
Therefore, to maintain the effectiveness
of the Order and to provide the adequate
relief to the domestic industry, we
preliminarily determine that the unique
facts of this CCR warrant the retroactive
application of the cash deposit rate to
the effective date of the first entry by
HEES. If we continue to reach the same
determination at the final results of this
CCR, we will instruct CBP to collect the
cash deposits accordingly.

ACTION: Notice; five-year affirmative
finding for El Salvador.
AGENCY:
The NMFS Assistant
Administrator (Assistant Administrator)
has issued a five-year affirmative
finding for the Government of El
Salvador under the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA). This
affirmative finding will allow
importation into the United States of
yellowfin tuna and yellowfin tuna
products harvested in the eastern
tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) in
compliance with the Agreement on the
International Dolphin Conservation
Program (AIDCP) by purse seine vessels
operating under Salvadoran jurisdiction
or exported from El Salvador. NMFS
bases the affirmative finding
determination on reviews of
documentary evidence submitted by the
Government of El Salvador and by
information obtained from the InterAmerican Tropical Tuna Commission
(IATTC).

This affirmative finding is
effective for the five-year period of April
1, 2018, through March 31, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq., allows
for importation into the United States of
yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine
vessels in the ETP under certain
conditions. If requested by the
harvesting nation, the Assistant
Administrator will determine whether
to make an affirmative finding based
upon documentary evidence provided
by the government of the harvesting
nation, the IATTC, or the Department of
State.
The affirmative finding process
requires that the harvesting nation is
meeting its obligations under the AIDCP
and its obligations of membership in the
IATTC. Every five years, the government
of the harvesting nation must request a
new affirmative finding and submit the
required documentary evidence directly
to the Assistant Administrator. On an
annual basis, NMFS reviews the
affirmative finding and determines
whether the harvesting nation continues
to meet the requirements. A nation may
provide information related to
compliance with AIDCP and IATTC
measures directly to NMFS on an
annual basis or may authorize the
IATTC to release the information to
NMFS to annually renew an affirmative
finding determination without an
application from the harvesting nation.
An affirmative finding will be
terminated, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, if the Assistant
Administrator determines that the
requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no
longer being met or that a nation is
consistently failing to take enforcement
actions on violations, thereby
diminishing the effectiveness of the
AIDCP.
As a part of the affirmative finding
process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f)(8),
the Assistant Administrator considered
documentary evidence submitted by the
Government of El Salvador and obtained
from the IATTC and has determined
that El Salvador has met the MMPA’s
requirements to receive an affirmative
finding.
After consultation with the
Department of State, the Assistant
Administrator issued a five-year
affirmative finding to El Salvador,
allowing the importation into the
United States of yellowfin tuna and

products derived from yellowfin tuna
harvested in the ETP by purse seine
vessels operating under Salvadoran
jurisdiction or exported from El
Salvador. Issuance of an affirmative
finding for El Salvador does not affect
implementation of an intermediary
nation embargo under 50 CFR
216.24(f)(9), which could apply to
exports from El Salvador. El Salvador’s
affirmative finding is effective for the
five-year period of April 1, 2018,
through March 31, 2023, subject to
subsequent annual reviews by NMFS.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a NOAA
Satellite Observing System Architecture
Study draft report; request for
comments; public meeting.
AGENCY:
In planning for the future
operational environmental satellite
system to follow the Geostationary
Operational Environmental Satellite
System—R Series (GOES–R, S, T, and U)
and the Joint Polar Satellite System
(JPSS–1, 2, 3, and 4), beginning about
2028, NOAA has conducted a study of
the NOAA Satellite Observing System
Architecture (NSOSA). The
development of a future system presents
an opportunity to design a modern
architecture by broadly examining
instruments, services, platforms, and
orbits, driven by user needs, new
technology, and exploiting emerging
space business models. The NSOSA
study team developed and evaluated
nearly 100 architecture alternatives,
including partner and commercial
contributions that are likely to become
available. Through https://
www.regulations.gov/docket?D=NOAANESDIS-2018-0053, the public can view
the NOAA Satellite Observing System
Architecture Study draft report, submit
ideas, review submissions from other
parties, and make comments.

identified as deserving of consideration
consistent with your knowledge of the
state of the space enterprise?
Are there outcomes or options that
you recommend for further analysis?
What suggestions do you have on
engagement with industry, including
innovative capability development
approaches, partnership opportunities,
and business models that may inform
NOAA’s path forward?
What suggestions do you have on
engagement with the academic and
research community and other
stakeholders to ensure NOAA makes the
best use of the outputs of this study?
