Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2022 / Notices
Hyundai Steel appealed Commerce’s
Final Results. On November 9, 2021, the
CIT granted Commerce’s request for a
voluntary remand of its determination
of the countervailability of the reduction
for sewerage fees program in the Final
Results.2
In its final remand redetermination,
issued on February 4, 2022, Commerce
found that the reduction for sewerage
fees program was not countervailable.3
On March 18, 2022, the CIT sustained
Commerce’s final redetermination.4
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,5 as clarified
by Diamond Sawblades,6 the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held
that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), Commerce must publish a
notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in
harmony’’ with a Commerce
determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a
‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
March 18, 2022, judgment constitutes a
final decision of the CIT that is not in
harmony with Commerce’s Final
Results. Thus, this notice is published
in fulfillment of the publication
requirements of Timken.
Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court
judgment, Commerce is amending its
Final Results with respect to Hyundai
Steel as follows:
Hyundai Steel .............................
* 0.49

Cash Deposit Requirements
Because Hyundai Steel has a
superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there
have been final results published in a
subsequent administrative review, we
will not issue revised cash deposit
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). This notice will not
affect the current cash deposit rate.

Liquidation of Suspended Entries
At this time, Commerce remains

liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to countervailing duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension and
revision of a current information
collection.
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Office of Education is sponsoring the
information collection herein described.
The Administrator of NOAA is
authorized by section 4002 of the
America COMPETES Act, Public Law
110–69, to establish and administer a
Graduate Sciences Program and two
undergraduate scholarship programs to
enhance understanding of ocean,
coastal, Great Lakes, and atmospheric
science and stewardship by the general
public and other coastal stakeholders,
including underrepresented groups in
ocean and atmospheric science and
policy careers. In addition, NOAA’s
Administrator is authorized by section
214 of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2005, Public Law 108–447, to
establish and administer the Ernest F.
Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship
Program to support undergraduate
studies in oceanic and atmospheric
science, research, technology, and
education that support NOAA’s mission
and programs.
The NOAA Office of Education
collects, evaluates, and assesses student
data and information for the purpose of
selecting successful candidates for
scholarships, fellowships and
internships, generating internal NOAA

17272
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2022 / Notices
reports, and articles to demonstrate the
success of its program.
The purpose of the NOAA
Educational Partnership Program with
Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI)
is to educate, train and graduate
students in NOAA mission-aligned
disciplines to build a pool of candidates
eligible for the future NOAA workforce.
The EPP/MSI program is strongly
committed to broadening the
participation of Minority Serving
Institutions such as Historically Black
Colleges and Universities, Hispanic
Serving Institutions, Indian Tribally
Controlled Colleges and Universities,
Alaska Native-Serving Institutions, and
Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions.
The EPP/MSI program has five program
components: The Undergraduate
Scholarship Program (USP); the
Cooperative Science Centers (CSCs);
Graduate Fellowship Program (GFP); the
Graduate Sciences Program (GSP); and
the Environmental Entrepreneurship
Program (EEP). The GSP and EEP
programs are no longer actively
supporting students, however alumni of
those programs may provide updates to
EPP/MSI of educational and career
changes.
The Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate
Scholarship Program was established to
increase undergraduate training in
oceanic and atmospheric science,
research, technology, and education and
foster multidisciplinary training
opportunities. In an effort to increase
the diversity of candidates applying to
the Hollings Scholarship, the Hollings
Preparation Program (HPP) was
established in 2019.
The NOAA Office of Education
requires all applicants to NOAA’s
Undergraduate Scholarship Programs to
complete an application in order to be
considered. The application package
requires two faculty and/or academic
advisors to complete a student scholar
reference form in support of the
scholarship application. Undergraduate
scholarship recipients are required to
complete a Student Scholarship
Training Record to track their time,
attendance, and accomplishments
during their internships. Student
scholar alumni are also requested to
provide information to NOAA for
internal tracking purposes. This
information informs NOAA whether
NOAA-funded students pursue and
complete post-graduate NOAA-related
science degrees, are employed by NOAA
or a NOAA contractor, or in fields
related to NOAA’s mission.
NOAA EPP/MSI CSC grant award
recipients are required to update the
student tracker database with the
required student information in order to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:30 Mar 25, 2022
Jkt 256001
assess compliance with award
performance measures. While supported
by NOAA scholarship and internship
programs, the Office of Education
surveys students and mentors to gain
feedback on experiences and to assess
program impact. Feedback collected
from surveys will be used to improve
programs to ensure the highest quality
experience for supported students.
In compliance with Service Equity
Assessment (E.O. 13985, Section 5)
NOAA identified a lack of demographic
information on people that work for
(FTE, contractor, or grantee), or are
interns, students or grantees of NOAA
as a barrier to measuring the success of
stated Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and
Justice (DEIJ) goals, and gaining
approval to collect such data will be
important moving forward. NOAA has a
continuing commitment to monitor the
operation of its review and award
processes to identify and address any
inequities based on gender, race,
ethnicity, or disability of its proposed
applicants. To gather information
needed for this important task, the
applicant(s) should submit the
requested information for each
identified applicant(s) with each
proposal using the proposed optional
demographic survey. Submission of the
requested information is voluntary and
is not a precondition of award unless
otherwise noted by the opportunity.
Any individual not wishing to submit
some or all the information should
check the box provided for this purpose.
Upon receipt of the application, this
form will be separated from the
application. This form will not be
duplicated, and it will not be a part of
the review process (unless specified by
the opportunity). Data will be
confidential.
The collected data supports the Office
of Education’s program performance
measures. To measure the impact of
these programs, the data collected are
compared to the available data in the
national education databases (e.g.,
National Science Foundation and
National Center for Education Statistics)
and NOAA workforce management
database. Furthermore, the student data
collection identifies degree and NOAA
mission-aligned discipline pipeline
areas, guiding NOAA’s effort to recruit
for its mission-aligned educational and
training programs and future workforce.
This information collection includes
several changes to the type and amount
of information being collected as
