stated that Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. 

merged with its cross-owned affiliate, Tosyali Metal 

Ambalaj Sanayi A.S. (Tosyali Metal). Because

In accordance with sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (2) of the Act, we are 

directing U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of welded line pipe from Turkey 

that are entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of the publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, and to require 

a cash deposit for such entries of 

merchandise in the amounts indicated 

above. 

In accordance with sections 703(d) 

and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for 

companies not investigated, we apply 

an ‘‘all others’’ rate, which is normally 

calculated by weighting the subsidy 

rates of the individual companies 

selected as respondents by those 

companies’ exports of the subject 

merchandise to the United States.7 The 

‘‘all-others’’ rate does not include zero 

and de minimis rates or any rates based 

solely on the facts available. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, we intend to verify the information 

submitted by the respondents prior to 

making our final determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

In accordance with section 703(f) of 

the Act, we will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

our determination. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and non-proprietary 

information relating to this 

investigation. We will allow the ITC 

access to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order, without the written 

consent of the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance. 

In accordance with section 705(b)(2) 

of the Act, if our final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will make its final 

determination within 45 days after the 

Department makes its final 

determination.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is circular welded carbon and 

alloy steel (other than stainless steel) pipe of 

a kind used for oil or gas pipelines (welded 

line pipe), not more than 24 inches in 

nominal outside diameter, regardless of wall 

thickness, length, surface finish, end finish, 

or stenciling. Welded line pipe is normally 

produced to the American Petroleum 

Institute (API) specification 5L, but can be 

produced to comparable foreign 

specifications, to proprietary grades, or can 

be non-graded material. All pipe meeting the 

physical description set forth above, 

including multiple-stenciled pipe with an 

API or comparable foreign specification line 

pipe stencil is covered by the scope of this 

investigation. 

The welded line pipe that is subject to this 

investigation is currently classifiable in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) under subheadings 

7305.11.1030, 7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030, 

7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030, 7305.19.5000, 

7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050, 7306.19.5110, 

and 7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise 

may also enter in HTSUS 7305.11.1060 and 

7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of this investigation is dispositive.

Availability of Draft NOAA Education 

Strategic Plan 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

publishes this notice to solicit 

comments on the draft NOAA Education 

Strategic Plan (Plan). NOAA received 

broad legislative authority from 

Congress through the America 

COMPETES Act (2007, 2010) to 

conduct, develop, support, promote, 

and coordinate formal and informal 

education activities at all levels to 

enhance public awareness and 

understanding of ocean, coastal, Great 

Lakes, and atmospheric science and 

stewardship by the general public and 

other coastal stakeholders, including 

underrepresented groups in ocean and 

atmospheric science and policy careers. 

The revision of the Plan establishes the 

goals for NOAA education programs for 

the next twenty years with revisions to 

the Plan every five years. NOAA is 

seeking broad public review of the 

NOAA Education Strategic Plan, and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Notices 14945 

encourages all stakeholders and users to 

review the Plan and provide comments. 

All comments received will be reviewed 

and considered in the final drafting of 

the NOAA Education Strategic Plan. 

DATES: Public comments on this 

document must be received on or before 

April 10, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The draft Plan will be 

available on the following Web site: 

http://www.oesd.noaa.gov/leadership/

edcouncil/education_plan.html. 

You may submit comments on this 

document, following the format

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA’s 

Education Council is soliciting general 

comments on the NOAA Education 

Strategic Plan, which describes how 

NOAA will execute programs and 

activities to achieve cohesive and 

strategic education outcomes. The Plan 

focuses on conducting, developing, 

supporting, promoting, and 

coordinating education activities to 

enhance awareness and understanding 

of mission-related sciences. 

For over 200 years, NOAA has 

imparted scientific knowledge of the 

Earth’s natural systems to benefit 

society and support the agency’s 

mission. During this time, education 

was guided by the vision of leadership, 

the findings of researchers, the 

mandates of legislation for programs 

within NOAA, and to respond to the 

needs of society. 

In 2007, Congress officially 

recognized the role of education in 

NOAA with the passage of the America 

COMPETES Act (Pub. L. 110–69). This 

legislation states: 

‘‘The Administrator, appropriate 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration programs, ocean 

atmospheric science and education 

experts, and interested members of the 

public shall develop a science education 

plan setting forth education goals and 

strategies for the Administration, as well 

as programmatic actions to carry out 

such goals and priorities over the next 

20 years, and evaluate and update such 

plan every 5 years.’’ 

NOAA is revising its Education 

Strategic Plan as specified in the 

America COMPETES Act. Based on 

NOAA’s mission, strengths, and the 

future needs of our society, the draft 

plan includes five education goals: 

Goal 1—Science-Informed Society: An 

informed society has access to, interest 

in, and understanding of NOAA-related 

sciences and their implications for 

current and future events. 

Goal 2—Conservation & Stewardship: 

Individuals and communities are 

actively involved in stewardship 

behaviors and decisions that conserve, 

restore, and protect natural and cultural 

resources related to NOAA’s mission. 

Goal 3—Safety and Preparedness: 

Individuals and communities are 

informed and actively involved in 

decisions and actions that improve 

preparedness, response, and resilience 

to challenges and impacts of hazardous 

weather, changes in climate, and other 

environmental threats monitored by 

NOAA. 

Goal 4—Future Workforce: A diverse 

and highly-skilled future workforce 

pursues careers in disciplines that 

support NOAA’s mission. 

Goal 5—Organizational Excellence: 

NOAA functions in a unified manner to 

support, plan, and deliver effective 

educational programs and partnerships 

that advance NOAA’s mission. 

NOAA welcomes all comments on the 

draft Plan, any inconsistencies 

perceived within the Plan, and any 

omissions of important topics or issues. 

This draft Plan is being issued for 

comment only and is not intended for 

interim use. For any shortcoming noted 

within the draft Plan, please propose 

specific remedies. Suggested changes 

will be incorporated where appropriate, 

and a final Plan will be posted on the 

NOAA Education Council Web site. 

Please follow this format guidance for 

preparing and submitting comments. 

Using the format guidance will facilitate 

the processing of comments and assure 

that all comments are appropriately 

considered. Overview comments should 

be provided first and should be 

numbered. Comments that are specific 

to particular pages, paragraphs, or lines 

of the section should identify the page 

and line numbers to which they apply. 

Please number each page of your 

comments.
