exceeds U.S. price. The following cash
deposit requirements will be effective
for shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice in the Federal
Register, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
exporters listed in the table above, the
cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review for the exporter (except, if the
dumping margin is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent), then the cash deposit
rate will be zero for that exporter); (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that
are not listed in the table above but that
have separate rates, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the exporter-specific
rate established in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate for
the China-wide entity (i.e., 105.80
percent) 28 and (4) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the China exporter that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties has occurred, and
the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties and/or an increase
in the amount of antidumping duties by
the amount of the countervailing duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The National Construction
Safety Team Act (‘‘Act’’), Public Law
107–231, codified at 15 U.S.C. 7301 et
seq., was enacted to provide for the
establishment of investigative teams
(‘‘Teams’’) to assess building
performance and emergency response
and evacuation procedures in the wake
of any building failure that has resulted
in substantial loss of life or that posed
significant potential of substantial loss
of life. The purpose of investigations by
Teams is to improve the safety and
structural integrity of buildings in the
United States. As stated in the statute,
a Team shall (1) establish the likely
technical cause or causes of the building
failure; (2) evaluate the technical
aspects of evacuation and emergency
response procedures; (3) recommend, as
necessary, specific improvements to
building standards, codes, and practices
based on the findings made pursuant to
(1) and (2); and (4) recommend any
research and other appropriate actions
needed to improve the structural safety
of buildings, and improve evacuation
and emergency response procedures,
based on the findings of the
investigation. In addition, NIST has
promulgated regulations implementing
the Act. The regulations are found at 15
CFR part 270.
NIST sent a preliminary
reconnaissance team to collect
information and data related to the
collapse of the Champlain Towers South
Condominium in Surfside, FL that
occurred on June 24, 2021. Based on the
recommendations of the preliminary
reconnaissance team and evaluation of
the criteria listed in the regulations
implementing the Act, specifically in 15
CFR 270.102, on June 30, 2021, the
Director of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST),
United States Department of Commerce,
established a Team to study the collapse
of the Champlain Towers South
Condominium in Surfside, FL. The
Team may include members who are
Federal employees and members who
are not Federal employees. Team
members who are Federal employees are
governed by the Federal conflict of
interest laws. Team members who are
not Federal employees will be Federal
government contractors, and conflicts of
interest related to their service on the
Team will be governed by FAR Subpart
9.5, Organizational and Consultant
Conflicts of Interest, which will be
incorporated by reference into all such
contracts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and
(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.) direct the Secretary of Commerce
(as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
proposed or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
incidental take authorization is
provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
affected species or stocks and their
habitat, paying particular attention to
rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of
similar significance, and on the
availability of such species or stocks for
taking for certain subsistence uses
(referred to here as ‘‘mitigation
measures’’). Monitoring and reporting of
such takings are also required. The
meaning of key terms such as ‘‘take,’’
‘‘harassment,’’ and ‘‘negligible impact’’
can be found in section 3 of the MMPA
(16 U.S.C. 1362) and the agency’s
regulations at 50 CFR 216.103.
NMFS’ regulations implementing the
MMPA at 50 CFR 216.107(e) indicate
that IHAs may be renewed for
additional periods of time not to exceed
one year for each reauthorization. In the
notice of proposed IHA for the initial
authorization, NMFS described the
circumstances under which we would
consider issuing a Renewal for this
activity, and requested public comment
on a potential Renewal under those
circumstances. Specifically, on a caseby-case basis, NMFS may issue a onetime one-year Renewal IHA following
notice to the public providing an
additional 15 days for public comments
when (1) up to another year of identical
or nearly identical, or nearly identical,
activities as described in the ‘‘Detailed
Description of Specified Activities’’
section of the initial IHA issuance

notice is planned or (2) the activities as
described in the ‘‘Detailed Description
of Specified Activities’’ section of the
initial IHA issuance notice would not be
completed by the time the initial IHA
expires and a Renewal would allow for
completion of the activities beyond that
described in the DATES section of the
initial IHA issuance, provided all of the
following conditions are met:
(1) A request for renewal is received
no later than 60 days prior to the needed
Renewal IHA effective date (recognizing
that the Renewal IHA expiration date
cannot extend beyond one year from
expiration of the initial IHA).
(2) The request for renewal must
include the following:
• An explanation that the activities to
be conducted under the requested
Renewal IHA are identical to the
activities analyzed under the initial
IHA, are a subset of the activities, or
include changes so minor (e.g.,
reduction in pile size) that the changes
do not affect the previous analyses,
mitigation and monitoring
requirements, or take estimates (with
the exception of reducing the type or
amount of take).
• A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation
showing that the monitoring results do
not indicate impacts of a scale or nature
not previously analyzed or authorized.
(3) Upon review of the request for
Renewal, the status of the affected
species or stocks, and any other
pertinent information, NMFS
determines that there are no more than
minor changes in the activities, the
mitigation and monitoring measures
will remain the same and appropriate,
and the findings in the initial IHA
remain valid.
An additional public comment period
of 15 days (for a total of 45 days), with
direct notice by email, phone, or postal
service to commenters on the initial
IHA, is provided to allow for any
additional comments on the proposed
Renewal. A description of the Renewal
process may be found on our website at:
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
marine-mammal-protection/incidentalharassment-authorization-renewals.
History of Request
On March 13, 2020, NMFS issued an
IHA to CDFW to take marine mammals
incidental to construction activities
