Potassium Phosphate Salts From
China
Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject five-year reviews, the
United States International Trade
Commission (‘‘Commission’’)
determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of
1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the
countervailing duty order and
antidumping duty order on potassium
phosphate salts from China would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to U.S.
industries producing dipotassium
phosphate and tetrapotassium
pyrophosphate within a reasonably
foreseeable time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract: NASA’s founding
legislation, the Space Act of 1958, as
amended, directs the agency to expand
human knowledge of Earth and space
phenomena and to preserve the role of
the United States as a leader in
aeronautics, space science, and
technology. The NASA Office of STEM
Engagement administers the agency’s
national education activities in support
of the Space Act, including the
performance measurement and
evaluation of educational projects and
programs. This generic clearance will
allow the NASA Office of STEM
Engagement to continue to test and pilot
with subject matter experts, secondary
students, higher education students,
educators, and interested parties new
and existing information collection
forms and assessment instruments for
the purposes of improvement and
establishing validity and reliability
characteristics of the forms and
instruments. Existing information
collections include the NASA Intern

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENT
Office of National Drug Control Policy
Application of Equity in U.S. National
Drug Control Policy
Office of National Drug Control
Policy.
ACTION: Request for information.
AGENCY:
The Office of National Drug
Control Policy (ONDCP) is seeking
comments from the public on whether
and to what extent ONDCP’s policy
development process, drug budget
review and certification processes of the
18 National Drug Control Program
Agencies, and Grant Administration
Programs perpetuate systemic barriers to
opportunities for underserved
communities and individuals from
those communities. ONDCP is also
seeking comments from the public
regarding how its future proposed
policies, budgets, regulations, grants, or
programs might be more effective in
advancing equity.
DATES: ONDCP encourages and will
accept public comments on or before
August 6, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
submitted by members of the general
public and stakeholder organizations by
email to OGC@ondcp.eop.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONDCP
seeks input according to the processes
outlined by Executive Order (E.O.)
13985, that requires agencies to select
certain agency programs and policies
and assess whether underserved
communities and their members, face
systemic barriers in accessing benefits
and opportunities available pursuant to
those policies and programs.
E.O. 13985 defines ‘‘equity’’ as the
consistent and systematic fair, just, and
impartial treatment of all individuals,
including individuals who belong to
underserved communities that have
been denied such treatment, such as
Black, Latino, and Indigenous and
Native American persons, Asian
Americans and Pacific Islanders and
other persons of color; members of

religious minorities; lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, and queer
(LGBTQ+) persons; persons with
disabilities; persons who live in rural
areas; and persons otherwise adversely
affected by persistent poverty or
inequality. It defines ‘‘underserved
communities’’ as populations sharing a
particular characteristic, as well as
geographic communities, that have been
systematically denied a full opportunity
to participate in aspects of economic,
social, and civic life, as exemplified by
the list in the preceding definition of
‘‘equity.’’
The E.O. requires agencies to assess
whether, and to what extent, its
programs and policies perpetuate
systemic barriers to opportunities and
benefits for people of color and other
underserved groups. Such assessments
will better equip agencies to develop
policies and programs that deliver
resources and benefits equitably to all.
The E.O. also requires agencies to study
strategies for allocating Federal
resources, consistent with applicable
law, in a manner that increases
investment in underserved
communities, and individuals from
those communities, to address the
historic failure to ensure investments
are sufficient, just, and equal. However,
many Federal datasets are not
disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender,
disability, income, veteran status, or
other key demographic variables.
Furthermore, in carrying out the E.O.,
agencies shall consult with members of
communities that have been historically
underrepresented in the Federal
Government and underserved by, or
subject to discrimination in, Federal
policies and programs. The head of each
agency shall evaluate opportunities,
consistent with applicable law, to
increase coordination, communication,
and engagement with community-based
organizations and civil rights
organizations.
ONDCP is the agency in the Executive
Office of the President primarily
responsible for leading and coordinating
the nation’s drug control policy through
the development and oversight of the
National Drug Control Strategy and the
National Drug Control Budget. ONDCP
recently released the Biden-Harris
Administration’s Drug Policy Priorities
for the Administration’s first year. The
seven priorities propose specific and
targeted actions to reduce overdoses and
promote recovery, including advancing
racial equity in our approach to drug
policy, expanding access to quality
treatment, reducing the supply of illicit
substances, and enhancing evidencebased harm reduction services that
engage and build trust with people who
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
use drugs, among others. The priorities
emphasize several cross-cutting facets of
the overdose epidemic, namely by
advancing racial equity in drug policy
and promoting harm-reduction efforts.
While ONDCP employs experts in
policy, public health, and public safety,
the agency also organizes formal
consultations with key external
stakeholders. These external
perspectives are crucial to help develop
national drug control policy. ONDCP
seeks to incorporate more perspectives
from a wide array of backgrounds,
including those most impacted by
United States’ drug policies.
Through budget review and
certification processes, ONDCP aligns
funding resources for 18 Federal
government agencies and departments
with the National Drug Control Strategy.
The President’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022
budget request, included a $41.0 billion
investment for national drug program
agencies, representing a $669.9 million
increase over the FY 2021 enacted level.
The largest increases in funding are for
critical public health interventions like
treatment and prevention services. Each
spring, ONDCP’s policy and budget staff
develop and share budget guidance
letters with these agencies. Agencies
then review the budget guidance letters
and submit preliminary budget
proposals to ONDCP. ONDCP reviews
the budget proposals to ensure they
meet the guidance requirements and,
based on the outcome of the review,
certifies agency budgets. Key
information about where drug budget
investments are directed and the impact
for different demographic groups (e.g.,
by race, ethnicity, gender, disability,
income, veteran status, and more) is not
fully known.
Request for Comments: Pursuant to
E.O. 13985, ONDCP is issuing this
request for information (RFI), to gather
data on whether and to what extent
ONDCP’s policy development process,
drug budget review and certification
processes, and Grant Administration
Programs perpetuate systemic barriers to
opportunities for underserved
communities and individuals from
those communities. In addition, ONDCP
is issuing this RFI to gather information
as to how its future proposed policies,
budgets, regulations, grants, or programs
might be more effective in advancing
equity. Public input, information, and
recommendations will help ONDCP
develop an approach to advance equity
in drug policy.
The work of advancing equity
requires a holistic assessment of ONDCP
practices and policies. The agency
welcomes submissions that provide
resources, tools, and examples of how
