5With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for 

the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of 

the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 

of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the 

examined respondents using each company’s 

publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 

Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final 

Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and 

Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background: On October 27, 2021, 

President Joseph R. Biden announced 

that the United States would explore the 

development of an Indo-Pacific 

Economic Framework (IPEF). The 

United States is seeking to include 

multiple pillars covering key areas of 

interest within the IPEF, including 

digital and emerging technologies; 

supply chain resilience; infrastructure, 

clean energy, and decarbonization; and 

tax and anti-corruption. Launching 

negotiations on these topics under the 

IPEF is an important step towards 

strengthening U.S. economic 

engagement in the Indo-Pacific region 

and presents a novel approach to 

promoting durable, broad-based 

economic growth. 

Requirements for Written Content: 

The Department of Commerce is 

developing negotiating objectives and 

positions to shape cooperation with 

potential IPEF partners which could 

include various types of commitments, 

cooperative actions, and other measures. 

To that end, via this general solicitation, 

the Department of Commerce invites 

interested parties to comment on issues 

that the Department of Commerce 

should address in the negotiations, 

including whether those issues have 

particular relevance for any of the 

economies in the Indo-Pacific region. 

The Department of Commerce seeks 

broad input from all interested 

stakeholders—including industry, 

researchers, academia, labor, and civil 

society. To the extent commenters 

choose to respond to particular matters 

related to the negotiations, they may 

comment on any of the following: 

1. General negotiating objectives for the 

IPEF. 

2. Digital and emerging technologiesrelated issues. 

3. Supply chain resilience-related issues. 

4. Infrastructure-related issues. 

5. Clean energy-related issues. 

6. Decarbonization-related issues. 

7. Tax-related issues. 

8. Anti-corruption-related issues. 

9. Issues of particular relevance to small 

and medium-sized businesses that should be 

addressed in the negotiations. 

10. Other issues for consideration. 

The Department of Commerce 

requests that small businesses (generally 

defined by the U.S. Small Business 

Administration as firms with fewer than 

500 employees) or organizations 

representing small business members 

that submit comments to self-identify as 

such so that we may be aware of issues 

of particular interest to small 

businesses. 

Request for Written Comments: The 

https://www.regulations.gov website 

allows users to provide comments by 

filling in a ‘‘Type Comment’’ field, or by 

attaching a document using an ‘‘Upload 

File’’ field. Commerce prefers comments 

be provided in an attached document. 

Commerce prefers submissions in 

Microsoft Word (.doc files) or Adobe 

Acrobat (.pdf files). If the submission is 

in an application format other than 

Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat, 

please indicate the name of the 

application in the ‘‘Type Comment’’ 

field. Please do not attach separate cover 

letters to electronic submissions; rather, 

include any information that might 

appear in a cover letter within the 

comments. Similarly, to the extent 

possible, please include any exhibits, 

annexes, or other attachments in the 

same file, so that the submission 

consists of one file instead of multiple 

files. Comments (both public comments 

and non-confidential versions of 

comments containing business 

confidential information) will be placed 

in the docket and open to public 

inspection. Comments may be viewed 

on https://www.regulations.gov by 

entering docket number ITA–2022–0001 

in the search field on the home page. All 

filers should name their files using the 

name of the person or entity submitting 

the comments. Anonymous comments 

also will be accepted. Communications 

from agencies of the United States 

Government will not be made available 

for public inspection. 

Anyone submitting business 

confidential information should clearly 

identify the business confidential 

portion at the time of submission, file a 

statement justifying nondisclosure and 

referring to the specific legal authority 

claimed, and provide a non-confidential 

version of the submission. The nonconfidential version of the submission 

will be placed in the public file on 

https://www.regulations.gov. For 

comments submitted electronically 

containing business confidential 

information, the file name of the 

business confidential version should 

begin with the characters ‘‘BC’’. Any 

page containing business confidential 

information must be clearly marked 

‘‘BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL’’ on the 

top of that page. The non-confidential 

version must be clearly marked 

‘‘PUBLIC’’. The file name of the nonconfidential version should begin with 

the character ‘‘P’’. The ‘‘BC’’ and ‘‘P’’ 

should be followed by the name of the 

person or entity submitting the 

comments or rebuttal comments.
