Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. USCIS recently announced that in compliance with an order of a United States District Court, effective December 7, 2020, USCIS is accepting first-time requests for consideration of deferred action under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) based on the terms of the DACA policy in effect prior to September 5, 2017, and in accordance with the Court’s December 4, 2020, order;. See, Batalla Vidal et al v. Wolf et al, 1:16–cv–04756–NGG–VMS (E.D. N.Y., Dec. 4, 2020). DHS will comply with the order while it remains in effect, but DHS may seek relief from the order. In light of these developments and their implications for revising the USCIS Form I–821D as planned with the November 13, 2020 Federal Register Notice, USCIS has decided not to seek to revise the collection of information at this time and will instead continue to maintain the form in its current state. USCIS will extend, without change, the currently approved collection of information and will use the notice provided on July 20, 2020 (85 FR 46882) that sought comments for 60 days. USCIS will be publishing a separate 30day Federal Register notice seeking comment on the extension and submitting the information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Scope.--For purposes of these investigations, Commerce has defined 
the subject merchandise as seamless carbon and alloy steel (other than 
stainless steel) pipes and redraw hollows, less than or equal to 16 
inches (406.4 mm) in nominal outside diameter, regardless of wall-
thickness, manufacturing process (e.g., hot-finished or cold-drawn), 
end finish (e.g., plain end, beveled end, upset end, threaded, or 
threaded and coupled), or surface finish (e.g., bare, lacquered or 
coated). Redraw hollows are any unfinished carbon or alloy steel (other 
than stainless steel) pipe or ``hollow profiles'' suitable for cold 
finishing operations, such as cold drawing, to meet the American 
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or American Petroleum 
Institute (API) specifications referenced below, or comparable 
specifications. Specifically included within the scope are seamless 
carbon and alloy steel (other than stainless steel) standard, line, and 
pressure pipes produced to the ASTM A-53, ASTM A-106, ASTM A-333, ASTM 
A-334, ASTM A-589, ASTM A-795, ASTM A-1024, and the API 5L 
specifications, or comparable specifications, and meeting the physical 
parameters described above, regardless of application, with the 
exception of the exclusions discussed below.
    Specifically excluded from the scope of the investigation are: (1) 
All pipes meeting aerospace, hydraulic, and bearing tubing 
specifications, including pipe produced to the ASTM A-822 standard; (2) 
all pipes meeting the chemical requirements of ASTM A-335, whether 
finished or unfinished; and (3) unattached couplings. Also excluded 
from the scope of the investigations are all mechanical, boiler, 
condenser and heat exchange tubing, except when such products conform 
to the dimensional requirements, i.e., outside diameter and wall 
thickness, of ASTM A-53, ASTM A-106 or API 5L specifications.

scheduled pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of affirmative

constitute subsidies within the meaning of Sec.  703 of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b) are being provided to manufacturers, producers, or 
exporters in Korea and Russia of seamless carbon and alloy steel 
standard, line, and pressure pipe, and that such products from Czechia 
are being sold in the United States at less than fair value within the 
meaning of Sec.  733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The investigations
