On February 24, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14017 (E.O. 14017) on ‘‘America’s Supply Chains,’’ which directs several federal agency actions to secure and strengthen America’s supply chains. This review, included in the White House Report ‘‘Building Resilient Supply Chains, Revitalizing Domestic Manufacturing, and Fostering BroadBased Growth (100-day-supplychainreview-report.pdf (whitehouse.gov)’’, identified numerous areas of supply chain vulnerabilities. In addition to the longer-term goals such as strengthening the domestic semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem and promoting U.S. leadership, this report called upon the Department of Commerce to partner with industry to facilitate information flow between semiconductor producers and suppliers and end-users to address the current semiconductor shortage. The ongoing shortages in the semiconductor product supply chain is having an adverse impact on a wide range of industry sectors. With the goal of accelerating the information flow across various segments of the supply chain and identifying data gaps and bottlenecks in the supply chain, the Department is seeking input from interested parties (including domestic and foreign semiconductor design firms, semiconductor manufacturers, materials and equipment suppliers, as well as semiconductor intermediate and endusers). The Department invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On July 16, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of the 2019–2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain stilbenic optical brightening agents (stilbenic OBAs) from Taiwan.1 This administrative review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Teh Fong Ming International Co., Ltd. (TFM). We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.2 No party submitted comments. Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order 3 The stilbenic OBAs covered by this Order are all forms (whether free acid or salt) of compounds known as triazinylaminostilbenes (i.e., all derivatives of 4,4′-bis [1,3,5- triazin-2yl] 4 amino- 2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid), 1 See Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019–2020, 86 FR 37741 (July 16, 2021) (Preliminary Results). 2 Id. 3 See Certain Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from Taiwan: Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 27419 (May 10, 2012) (Order). 4 The brackets in this sentence are part of the chemical formula.
