Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations, 25417-25418 [2023-08775]

Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 26, 2023 / Notices United States, 190 F. Supp. 3d 1308, 1318 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2016) (citations omitted). In instances in which component production or assembly occurs in multiple countries and no single country’s operations dominate the manufacturing operations, CBP has looked to the location at which final assembly occurs. In CBP Headquarters Ruling (‘‘HQ’’) H170315, dated July 28, 2011, CBP was asked to determine the country of origin for an imported satellite telephone that contained Malaysian-origin circuit boards and U.K.-origin software and that underwent final assembly and programming in Singapore. In that matter, CBP noted, there existed ‘‘three countries under consideration where programming and/ or assembly operations take place, the last of which is Singapore.’’ Although the Malaysian-origin boards and U.K.origin software were important to the function of the device, CBP determined Singapore to be the proper country of origin because it had been the site of the last substantial transformation. Similarly, in HQ H203555, dated April 23, 2012, CBP considered the country of origin of oscilloscopes containing Malaysian-origin circuit boards assembled in Singapore and programmed with U.S.-origin software. Once again, CBP observed that no one country’s operations dominated the manufacturing process, but that the final assembly in Singapore completed the oscilloscopes and, therefore, the last substantial transformation occurred in that country. In the present matter, you argue that the country of origin of the VMS is the United States because you believe that the last substantial transformation occurs in the United States. You state that hardware assembly and the installation of the U.S.-origin software into the U.S.-assembled system assembly results in a new article with a name, character, and use different from the original hardware components. Here, a plurality of components is sourced from China, although a combined majority is sourced from Taiwan, Singapore, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand, and elsewhere. Importantly, the major components do not originate from one country, but are instead sourced from a variety of countries: the CPU will originate from either Costa Rica, Vietnam or Malaysia, the partial motherboard from China, and the cameras from either Taiwan, Korea, or China. The assembly in the United States, meanwhile, fully integrates the subassemblies and various component parts into the complete VMS, at which point the U.S.-origin software is VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:28 Apr 25, 2023 Jkt 259001 installed. No single country’s operations dominate the manufacturing operations of the VMS. The CPU manufactured in Costa Rica, Vietnam or Malaysia is important to the function of the VMS, as is the Chinese-origin motherboard and U.S.-origin firmware and software. The assembly in the United States completes the VMS. This matter is therefore analogous to our determination in HQ H203555, dated April 23, 2012, in which we determined Singapore to be the country of origin for oscilloscope where ‘‘there are three countries under consideration where programming and/ or assembly operations take place, the last of which is Singapore’’ but ‘‘[n]o one country’s operations dominate[d] the manufacturing operations.’’ See also, HQ H170315, dated July 28, 2011, scenario III. Based on the foregoing, we find that the last substantial transformation occurs in the United States, and therefore, the VMS is not a product of a foreign country or instrumentality which is not designated pursuant to section 2511(b) of this title (i.e., China, Vietnam, and Malaysia). As to whether the VMS assembled in the United States qualifies as a ‘‘U.S.-made end product,’’ you may wish to consult with the relevant government procuring agency and review Acetris Health, LLC v. United States, 949 F.3d 719 (Fed. Cir. 2020). Holding Based on the information outlined above, we determine that the components imported into the United States undergo a substantial transformation when made into the subject video management system by Security Lab. Notice of this final determination will be given in the Federal Register, as required by 19 CFR 177.29. Any partyat-interest other than the party which requested this final determination may request, pursuant to 19 CFR 177.31, that CBP reexamine the matter anew and issue a new final determination. Pursuant to 19 CFR 177.30, any partyat-interest may, within 30 days of publication of the Federal Register Notice referenced above, seek judicial review of this final determination before the U.S. Court of International Trade. Sincerely, Alice A. Kipel, Executive Director, Regulations and Rulings Office of Trade.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard 
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with 
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the 
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum 
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the 
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent 
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any 
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies 
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood 
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management 
requirements of the NFIP.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are 
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the 
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS 
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) 
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard 
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report 
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to 
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are 
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other 
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and 
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the 
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been 
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days 
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional 
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables 
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each 
community are available for inspection at both the online location 
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective 
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities 
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be 
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date 
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS 
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map 
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
