Download as PDF 102114 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices petitioner), a domestic producer of float glass products.1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Determination of Industry Support for the Petitions Sections 702(b)(1) and 732(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), require that a petition be filed by or on behalf of the domestic industry. To determine that the petition has been filed by or on behalf of the industry, sections 702(c)(4)(A) and 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act require that the domestic producers or workers who support the petition account for: (i) at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition. Moreover, sections 702(c)(4)(D) and 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provide that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) if there is a large number of producers, determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling method to poll the industry. Extension of Time Sections 702(c)(1)(A) and 732(c)(1)(A) of the Act provide that within 20 days of the filing of an antidumping or countervailing duty petition, Commerce will determine, inter alia, whether the petition has been filed by or on behalf of the U.S. industry producing the domestic like product. Sections 702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provide that the deadline for the initiation determination, in exceptional circumstances, may be extended by 20 days in any case in which Commerce must ‘‘poll or otherwise determine support for the petition by the industry.’’ Because it is not clear from the Petitions whether the industry support criteria have been met, Commerce has determined it would be appropriate in these cases to poll the industry and extend the time period for determining whether to initiate the investigations in order to further examine the issue of industry support. Commerce will need additional time to gather and analyze additional information regarding industry support. 1 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Petitions for the Imposition of Antidumping and Countervailing Duties,’’ dated November 21, 2024 (Petitions). VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:45 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 Therefore, it is necessary to extend the deadline for determining the adequacy of the Petitions for a period not to exceed 40 days from the filing of the Petitions. As a result, in accordance with sections 702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce’s initiation determination will now be due no later than December 31, 2024. International Trade Commission Notification Commerce will contact the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and will make this extension notice available to the ITC. Dated: December 11, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management requests the extension of a currently approved information collection. NOAA has, or is given, authority under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), annual appropriations or other authorities, to issue funds to coastal states, localities or other recipients for planning, conservation, acquisition, protection, restoration, or construction projects. The required information enables NOAA to implement the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CZMA section 307A), under its current or future authorization, and facilitate the review of similar projects under different, but related, authorities, including the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (CZMA section 315) Land Acquisition and Construction program, the Coastal Zone Management Program’s low-cost acquisition and construction program (CZMA section 306A), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, or other authorities. This collection covers the development of state coastal land conservation plans, and collection of information specifically needed for applying for and carrying out land acquisition, restoration and construction projects, such as: appraisals, property surveys and site plans, legal documentation such as deeds, easements and/or plats, and information needed for environmental compliance reviews. Such information is collected from project applicants or subrecipients, which are typically state or local government agencies, but may also include nongovernmental or Tribal organizations. The information will be used in evaluating project proposals, reviewing the location and impact of proposed activities, documenting compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and other applicable statutes, and conducting due diligence on market value, title encumbrances, property boundaries, proper recording of legal instruments. No changes are proposed to the collection. E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Notices II.

information enables NOAA to implement the Coastal and Estuarine Land 
Conservation Program (CZMA section 307A), under its current or future 
authorization, and facilitate the review of similar projects under 
different, but related, authorities, including the National Estuarine 
Research Reserve System (CZMA section 315) Land Acquisition and 
Construction program, the Coastal Zone Management Program's low-cost 
acquisition and construction program (CZMA section 306A), the Fish and 
Wildlife Coordination Act, or other authorities.
    This collection covers the development of state coastal land 
conservation plans, and collection of information specifically needed 
for applying for and carrying out land acquisition, restoration and 
construction projects, such as: appraisals, property surveys and site 
plans, legal documentation such as deeds, easements and/or plats, and 
information needed for environmental compliance reviews. Such 
information is collected from project applicants or sub-recipients, 
which are typically state or local government agencies, but may also 
include nongovernmental or Tribal organizations.
    The information will be used in evaluating project proposals, 
reviewing the location and impact of proposed activities, documenting 
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and other 
applicable statutes, and conducting due diligence on market value, 
title encumbrances, property boundaries, proper recording of legal 
instruments. No changes are proposed to the collection.
