NMFS published a notice on September 10, 2015, announcing the dates and locations of three Atlantic Shark Identification Workshops to be held during October through December of 2015. Attendance at an Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop is mandatory for all federally permitted Atlantic shark dealers in order to meet certain regulatory requirements and to maintain valid permits. Based upon recent analysis indicating the need for an additional workshop in the New York and southern New England area to accommodate shark dealers who purchase smooth dogfish, this notice announces a free Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop that will be conducted during December of 2015 in Bohemia, NY. Additional Atlantic Shark Identification Workshops will be conducted during 2016 and will be announced in a future notice.

Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') and the International Trade Commission (``ITC''), the Department is issuing a countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on boltless steel shelving units prepackaged for sale (``boltless steel shelving'') from the People's Republic of China (the ``PRC''). Also, as explained in this notice, we are amending our Final Determination \1\ to correct a ministerial error with respect to the CVD rate applied to companies that did not respond to the Department's quantity and value (``Q&V'') questionnaire.

On March 18, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') initiated a changed circumstance review (``CCR'') of the antidumping duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (``solar cells''), from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') in response to a request from Neo Solar Power Corporation (``Neo Solar''), DelSolar Co., Ltd. (``DelSolar Taiwan''), and DelSolar (Wujiang) Ltd. (``DelSolar Wujiang'').\1\ Pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.216, the Department preliminarily determines that Neo Solar is not the successor-in-interest to DelSolar Taiwan for purposes of determining antidumping duty (``AD'') liability in this proceeding. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
