SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Civil Rights Compliance Review 

Record—Federally Assisted Programs 

OMB Number: 0596–0215 

Type of Request: Extension with no 

change 

Abstract: All Federal agencies must 

comply with equal opportunity laws: 

• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964, as amended; 

• Title IX of the Education 

Amendments Act of 1972; 

• The Age Discrimination Act of 

1975, as amended; 

• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973, as amended; and 

• Executive orders prohibiting 

discrimination in the delivery of all 

programs and services to the public. 

Federal agencies and entities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

are prohibited from discriminating. 

Federal financial assistance is defined 

as, ‘‘Federal monies given by grants, 

cooperative agreements, commercial 

special use permits, training, loan/

temporary assignment of Federal 

personnel, or loan/use of Federal 

property at below market value.’’ 

The equal opportunity laws require 

agencies to conduct compliance reviews 

to ensure that entities receiving Federal 

Financial Assistance from the 

government are adhering to the nondiscrimination statutes. The statutes 

require that prior to awarding support or 

issuing permits, the Federal government 

shall conduct pre-award reviews to 

ensure that potential recipients 

understand their responsibilities to 

provide services equitable pursuant to 

the law. Thereafter, during the 

partnership with the Agency, on-going 

monitoring will take place to ensure the 

public is being served without any 

barriers or discrimination. The 

compliance review tool consists of three 

forms, used consecutively during the 

same review. 

Forest Service employees will use 

form FS–1700–0006A, Civil Rights 

Compliance Review Record—Federally 

Assisted Programs, to collect 

information regarding actions taken by 

recipients of Federal financial assistance 

to ensure the public receives services 

without discrimination or barriers to 

access, and that recipients’ employees 

understand their role in ensuring equal 

access to services. Collection will occur 

during face-to-face meetings or 

telephone interviews conducted by 

Forest Service employees as part of the 

pre-award and Post-award process. The 

pre-award interview will take place 

prior to the award of a grant, signing of 

a cooperative agreement, letting of 

commercial special use permit, or 

similar activity. The post award 

interview will take place once every five 

years, or upon report/discovery of 

discrimination. 

Forest Service employees will use 

form FS–1700–0006B, Civil Rights 

Compliance Review Record—Federally 

Assisted Programs, (Post-Award Review 

Interview of an Employee of the 

Recipient) to collect information from 

an employee of the recipient’s program 

to assess their awareness of Civil Rights 

responsibilities to ensure the public 

receives services without discrimination 

or barriers to access. This aids in 

determining if recipients’ have advised 

and trained employees of their customer 

service and Civil Rights compliance 

role. Collection will occur during faceto-face meetings or interviews 

conducted by Forest Service employees 

as part of the post award process. The 

Post-award interview will take place 

once every five years, or upon report/

discovery of discrimination. 

Forest Service employees will use 

form FS–1700–0006C, Civil Rights 

Compliance Review Record—Federally 

Assisted Programs, (Post-Award Review 

Interview of a Participant) to collect 

information from the public or 

customers of the recipients of Federal 

financial assistance to determine if the 

public is receiving services without 

discrimination or barriers to access. 

Collection will occur during face-to-face 

interviews conducted by Forest Service 

employees as part of the post award 

process. The Post-award interview will 

take place once every five years, or upon 

report/discovery of discrimination. 

The information collected will only 

be shared with other Federal agencies 

who share in the financial assistance 

activities with the Forest Service. 

Monitoring reviews have been a 

responsibility of the Federal government 

since 1964. Without the ability to 

monitor recipients of Federal financial 

assistance, the Forest Service would not 

be able to ensure compliance with laws 

and statutes. The Agency would not be 

aware of potential violations, thereby 

resulting in potential discriminatory 

practices. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 hour. 

Type of Respondents: Recipients of 

Federal financial assistance. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 11,000. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: One. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 11,000. 

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether 

this collection of information is 

necessary for the stated purposes and 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical or 

scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval.

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose the calculations used 

in our analysis to parties in this review 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Any interested 

party may request a hearing within 30 

days of the publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register in accordance with 

19 CFR 310(c).2 If a hearing is requested, 

the Department will notify interested 

parties of the hearing schedule. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results of 

this review. Unless extended by the 

Department, interested parties must 

submit case briefs within 30 days of the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Rebuttal briefs, which must be limited 

to issues raised in the case briefs, must 

be filed not later than five days after the 

time limit for filing case briefs.3 Parties 

who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs 

in this review are requested to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue, (2) a brief summary of the 

argument, and (3) a table of authorities. 

Executive summaries should be limited 

to five pages total, including footnotes.4

We intend to issue the final results of 

this administrative review, including 

the results of our analysis of issues 

raised in the written comments, within 

120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, unless otherwise extended.5

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

will calculate importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for an importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of such 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If 

a respondent’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

in the final results of this review, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties in accordance with 

the Final Modification for Reviews.6

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003.7 This clarification applies 

to entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by a respondent for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States. In 

such instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. 

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of circular welded carbon

FR 8341 (March 11, 1986). 

steel pipes and tubes from Thailand 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided for 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rate for the companies 

under review will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if that rate is de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above 

in the Preliminary Results of Review, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review or another 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

but the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recently completed segment 

of this proceeding for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 

the exporter nor the manufacturer is a 

firm covered in this or any previously 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

‘‘all-others’’ rate of 15.67 percent 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.8 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of 

administrative review are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: March 30, 2015.
