electrical power generation capacity in 

excess of 100 kilowatts and with a 

minimum height of 50 meters measured 

from the base of the tower to the bottom 

of the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the 

tower and nacelle are joined) when fully 

assembled. A wind tower section 

consists of, at a minimum, multiple 

steel plates rolled into cylindrical or 

conical shapes and welded together (or 

otherwise attached) to form a steel shell, 

regardless of coating, end-finish, 

painting, treatment, or method of 

manufacture, and with or without 

flanges, doors, or internal or external 

components (e.g., flooring/decking, 

ladders, lifts, electrical buss boxes, 

electrical cabling, conduit, cable harness 

for nacelle generator, interior lighting, 

tool and storage lockers) attached to the 

wind tower section. Several wind tower 

sections are normally required to form 

a completed wind tower. 

Wind towers and sections thereof are 

included within the scope whether or 

not they are joined with non-subject 

merchandise, such as nacelles or rotor 

blades, and whether or not they have 

internal or external components 

attached to the subject merchandise. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

are nacelles and rotor blades, regardless 

of whether they are attached to the wind 

tower. Also excluded are any internal or 

external components which are not 

attached to the wind towers or sections 

thereof. 

Merchandise covered by the Orders is 

currently classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff System of the United States 

(HTSUS) under subheadings 

7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. Prior to 

2011, merchandise covered by the 

Orders was classified in the HTSUS 

under subheading 7308.20.0000 and 

may continue to be to some degree. 

While the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

subject merchandise is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsides, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders on wind 

towers from China and Vietnam. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be October 17, 2024. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the Orders no later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return, destruction, or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Timely written notification of the return 

or destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply is 

a violation of the APO which may be 

subject to sanctions. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year sunset reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published pursuant to section 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

Endangered and Threatened Species; 

Initiation of 5-Year Review for the 

Saimaa Seal (Phoca (or Pusa) hispida 

saimensis) 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5-year 

review; request for information. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces its intent to 

conduct a 5-year review of the 

endangered ringed seal, Saimaa 

subspecies (Phoca (or Pusa) hispida 

saimensis), hereafter referred to as the 

Saimaa seal. NMFS is required by the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) to 

conduct 5-year reviews to ensure that 

listing classifications of species are 

accurate. The 5-year review must be 

based on the best scientific and 

commercial data available at the time of 

the review. We request submission of 

any such information on the Saimaa 

seal, particularly information on its 

status, threats, and conservation efforts, 

which has become available since the 

previous 5-year review in January 2018. 

DATES: To allow us adequate time to 

conduct this review, we must receive 

your information no later than 

December 30, 2024. However, we will 

continue to accept new information 

about any listed species at any time. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your information, 

identified by docket number NOAA– 

NMFS–2024–0126, by the following 

method: 

• Electronic Submissions: Submit all 

electronic comments via the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal. Go to 

www.regulations.gov and enter NOAA– 

NMFS–2024–0126 in the Search box. 

Click on the ‘‘Comment’’ icon, complete 

the required fields, and enter or attach 

your comments. 

Instructions: NMFS may not consider 

comments or other information if sent 

by any other method, to any other 

address or individual, or received after 

the comment period ends. All 

comments and information received are 

a part of the public record and NMFS 

will post the comments for public 

viewing on www.regulations.gov 

without change. All personal identifying 

information (e.g., name, address, etc.) 

submitted voluntarily by the sender will 

be publicly accessible. Do not submit 

confidential business information, or 

otherwise sensitive or protected 

information. NMFS will accept 

anonymous comments (enter ‘‘N/A’’ in 

the required fields if you wish to remain 

anonymous). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Chris Parsons, NOAA Affiliate, (301) 

427–8403 or Chris.Parsons@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces our active review of 

the Saimaa seal (Phoca (or Pusa) hispida 

saimensis), currently listed as 

endangered (58 FR 26920; June 7, 1993). 

It should be noted that in 2014, the 

scientific name of the Saimaa seal was 

updated in the list of endangered 

species to reflect use of either of the 

genus names Phoca or Pusa (79 FR 

20802; April 14, 2014). 

Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires 

that the Secretary, through NMFS, 

conduct a review of listed species at 

least once every 5 years. The species 

was last reviewed in 2018 (82 FR 28304; 

June 21, 2017). The regulations in 50 

CFR 424.21 require that we publish a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing species currently under 

active review. Based on such reviews, 

we determine whether a listed species 

should be removed from the list (i.e., 

delisted), or be changed in status from 

endangered to threatened or from 

threatened to endangered (16 U.S.C. 

1533(c)(2)(B)). As described by the 

regulations in 50 CFR 424.11(e), the 

Secretary shall delist a species if the 

Secretary determines, based on 

consideration of the factors and 

standards set forth in 50 CFR 424.11(c), 

that the best scientific and commercial 

data available substantiate that that, 

after conducting a status review based 

on the best scientific and commercial 

data available: (1) the species is extinct; 

(2) the species has recovered to the 

point at which it no longer meets the 

definition of an endangered species or a 

threatened species; or (3) new 

information that has become available 

since the original listing decision shows 

that the listed entity does not meet the 

definition of an endangered species or a 

threatened species; or (4) new 

information that has become available 

since the original listing decision shows 

the listed entity does not meet the 

definition of a species. Any change in 

Federal status would require a separate 

rulemaking process. 

Background information on the 

Saimaa seal is available on the NMFS 

website at: https://

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/ringedseal. 

Public Solicitation of New Relevant 

Information 

To ensure that the 5-year review is 

complete and based on the best 

scientific and commercial data 

available, we are soliciting new 

information from the public, 

governmental agencies, Tribes, the 

scientific community, industry, 

environmental entities, and any other 

interested parties concerning the status 

of the listed Saimaa seal. Categories of 

requested information include: (1) 

species biology including, but not 

limited to, population trends, 

distribution, abundance, demographics, 

and genetics; (2) habitat conditions 

including, but not limited to, amount, 

distribution, suitability, and important 

features for conservation; (3) degree, 

nature, and trends of threats to the 

species and its habitats; (4) conservation 

measures that have been implemented 

that benefit the species, including 

monitoring data demonstrating 

effectiveness of such measures; and (5) 

other new information, data, or 

corrections including, but not limited 

to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes 

and improved analytical methods for 

evaluating extinction risk. 

If you wish to provide information for 

the review, you may submit your 

information and materials electronically 

(see ADDRESSES section). We request that 

all information be accompanied by 

supporting documentation such as 

maps, bibliographic references, or 

reprints of pertinent publications. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.
