Focus Groups—To inform survey development, BOEM would conduct focus groups with recreationists in the study area. The recreationists would identify their preferred coastal- and marine-related recreation sites; why they choose their preferred sites; the differences they perceive between sites near existing energy infrastructure (in portions of the Upper Cook Inlet) to sites that are not near any energy infrastructure, and the recreational quality of those sites; what they like about their recreational experiences around Cook Inlet; what they do not like about the Cook Inlet sites they avoid; how offshore energy exploration and development activities may affect their recreation site choice and experience; and other related issues. 2. Cognitive Interviews—The findings of the focus groups would be used to develop a draft survey instrument. BOEM would then conduct 25 cognitive interviews to test and refine the survey. Specifically, the interviews would test if the survey is working as expected. Factors relevant to that determination include evaluating if questions are easily understood, how respondents formulate their answers, whether response categories are exhaustive and mutually exclusive, and other similar issues. 3. Onsite Intercept Surveys—BOEM expects the final survey would cover topics such as recreational destinations, frequency of use in the past 12 months, recreation trip-related expenditures, preferences for recreation site attributes, attitudes about and recreation behavioral responses to offshore energy exploration and development, and demographics. Surveys would be administered at a range of sites, including at some hub cities, smaller communities, public lands, visitor centers, seaports, airports, and marinas. Because the surveys would be administered between May and October, a potential respondent may be intercepted on more than one occasion. If a respondent clarifies that they have already taken the survey, they would not be asked to take it again. OMB Control Number: OMB Control Number 1010–NEW. Respondents/Affected Public: Participants in the focus groups and cognitive interviews would be members of the public who have engaged in coastal or marine recreation in the study area in the past year. Respondents to the surveys would be members of the public engaged in coastal or marine recreational activities in the study area. Members of the public would consist of a mixture of local, State, and out-ofState residents. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:20 Feb 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 565: 40 focus group participants, 25 cognitive interview participants, and 500 completed surveys. The focus group questions would be semi-structured and openended. Survey questions would be primarily discrete choice and closedended with minimal open-ended questions. Estimated Completion Time per Response: 90 minutes per focus group participant, 45 minutes per cognitive interview participant, and 12 minutes per survey participant. (BOEM anticipates that the survey would comprise approximately 30 questions with each question taking about 20–30 seconds to complete on average.) Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 60 hours for focus groups, 18.75 hours for cognitive interviews, and 100 hours for survey; total of 178.75 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Frequency of Collection: One time. Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: There is no non-hour cost burden associated with this collection. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Karen Thundiyil, Chief, Office of Regulations, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following four points: —Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, including whether the information will have practical utility; —Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; —Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and —Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Abstract: This information collection is optional and voluntary. FOIAXpress is a software program that provides the EOIR Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Program with a single, unified application for managing the entire lifecycle of FOIA requests and appeals. The Public Access Link (PAL) is a secure web-based application that provides an online platform for the public to file a FOIA request with EOIR. The PAL is integrated directly with FOIAXpress and offers a centralized location for EOIR to receive online FOIA requests, deliver responsive records, communicate with requesters, collect fees, if applicable, and provide access to released documents in a public reading room in accordance with agency proactive disclosure guidelines. EOIR has developed several changes to the PAL platform to improve the Agency’s FOIA request and response process and to reduce the burden on members of the public that submit FOIA requests to EOIR. These developments include the following substantive changes: modifying the request form to display only those data fields relevant to the type of FOIA request selected by the PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 requestor; changing the date range field from voluntary to mandatory; prompting an individual that requests a Record of Proceeding (ROP) to provide on a voluntary basis the charging document date and a record subject’s alias, parents’ names, port and date of entry, and place and date of proceeding; and removing data fields that EOIR determined were no longer necessary for the Agency to fulfill a FOIA request. In addition, EOIR has identified the following non-substantive changes: modifying the appearance and formatting of the PAL request form; updating links to web pages and resources embedded throughout the form; revising existing form instructions for clarity; and reorganizing some data fields under different sections of the PAL form. EOIR intends these developments to reduce the public’s burden in completing the PAL form and to improve the Agency’s FOIA request and response process, and the public’s experience with that process. These enhancements include: assisting requestors in making the most appropriate selection for the type of FOIA request; enhancing the logical direction with which a requestor completes the form; and tailoring the information solicited from the requestor to generate more precise requests, thereby reducing processing time. Overview of This Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously approved collection. 2. The Title of the Form/Collection: FOIAXpress/FOIA Public Access Link. 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: None. 4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as the obligation to respond: Individuals and households. The obligation to respond is voluntary. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated that 24,804 respondents will complete each form within approximately 3 minutes each. 6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The estimated total annual burden hours for this collection is 1,240 annual burden hours. 7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the collection, if applicable: $0. E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1

INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-684 and 731-TA-1597 (Final)]


Gas Powered Pressure Washers From China

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of gas powered pressure washers from China, provided 
for in subheadings 8424.30.90 and 8424.90.90 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States 
at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and subsidized by the government of 
China.^{2 3}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 88 FR 88365 (December 21, 2023), 88 FR 88578 (December 22, 
2023).
    \3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping or 
countervailing duty orders on gas powered pressure washes from 
China.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective December 
30, 2022, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by FNA Group, Inc., Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
gas powered pressure washers from Vietnam were being sold at LTFV 
within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)) 
and that imports of gas powered pressure washers from China were being 
subsidized by the government of China within the meaning of section 
703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the 
final phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing 
to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the 
notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal 
Register on June 22, 2023 (88 FR 40865). The Commission conducted its 
hearing through written testimony and video conference on August 24, 
2023. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
participate.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
postpone its final determination for the antidumping duty investigation 
regarding gas powered pressured washers from Vietnam, while it did 
postpone the final determinations for the antidumping and 
countervailing duty investigations regarding gas powered pressure 
washers from China. On October 13, 2023, the Commission issued a final 
affirmative determination in its antidumping duty investigation of gas 
powered pressure washers from Vietnam (88 FR 71885, October 18, 2023). 
Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports 
of gas powered pressure washers from China were being sold at LTFV 
within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a))

and subsidized by the government of China within the meaning of section 
705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(a)), notice of the supplemental 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's antidumping and 
countervailing duty investigations was given by posting copies of the 
notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal 
Register of January 2, 2024 (89 FR 90).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on February 5, 2024. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5488 (February 2024), entitled Gas 
Powered Pressure Washers from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-684 and 
731-TA-1597 (Final).
