However, in that situation, because no review of the NME entity was conducted, the NME entity’s entries were not subject to the review and the rate for the NME entity is not subject to change as a result of that review (although the rate for the individual exporter may change as a function of the finding that the exporter is part of the NME entity). Following initiation of an antidumping administrative review when there is no review requested of the NME entity, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters not named in the initiation notice, including those that were suspended at the NME entity rate. All requests must be filed electronically in Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS website at https://access.trade.gov.6 Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request must be served on the petitioner and each exporter or producer specified in the request. Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.7 Commerce will publish in the Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation’’ for requests received by the last day of December 2020. If Commerce does not receive, by the last day of December 2020, a request for review of entries covered by an order, finding, or suspended investigation listed in this notice and for the period identified above, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping or countervailing duties required on those entries at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption and to continue to collect the cash deposit previously ordered. For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of subject merchandise 6 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures; Administrative Protective Order Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6, 2011). 7 See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–19, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.

To comply with this requirement, the CFTC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information listed below. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Title: Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements (OMB Control No. 3038–0096). This is a request for comment on a currently approved information collection. PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 77435 Abstract: The collection of information is needed to ensure that the CFTC and other regulators have access to swap data as required by the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘DoddFrank Act’’). The Dodd-Frank Act directed the CFTC to adopt rules providing for the reporting of data relating to swaps. On September 17, 2020, the Commission adopted a rulemaking amending its part 45 regulations.1 In the release accompanying the final rule, the Commission included some estimated costs and burdens that were not included in the proposal and made corrections to some of its previous estimates. The Commission explains these cost and burden estimates below and invites comment on any new or revised estimates. 1. Amendments to Regulation 45.3 Amended § 45.3 creates costs for swap data repositories (‘‘SDRs’’), swap execution facilities (‘‘SEFs’’), designated contract markets (‘‘DCMs’’), and reporting counterparties to update systems for reporting required swap creation data reports. For the proposal, the Commission estimated SDRs, SEFs, DCMs, and reporting counterparties would incur a one-time initial burden of 10 hours per entity to modify their systems to adopt the changes, for a total estimated hours burden of 17,320 hours. The cost per entity was estimated to be $722.30 for a total cost across entities of $1,251,024. The Commission additionally estimated 5 hours per entity annually to perform any needed maintenance or adjustments to reporting systems, at a cost of $361.15 per entity and $625,512 across entities.2 The Commission re-evaluated the analysis in the final rule and instead used a wage estimate of between $48 and $101 3 per 1 The Commission proposed the amendments to Part 45 in February 2020. Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements, 75 FR 21578 (Apr. 17, 2020) (the ‘‘Proposal’’). The final rule was published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2020. 2 The PRA section of the Proposal included onetime and ongoing burden hour estimates for entities to modify their systems. The associated cost estimates referenced above were included in the related Supporting Statement filed with OMB for the Proposal. 3 Hourly wage rates for this aspect came from the Software Developers and Programmers category of the May 2019 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates Report produced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, available at https:// www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm. The 25th percentile was used for the low range and the 90th percentile was used for the upper range ($36.89 and $78.06, respectively). Each number was multiplied by an adjustment factor of 1.3 for overhead and E:\FR\FM\02DEN1.SGM Continued 02DEN1
