market sales and for the purposes of the 

sales-below-cost test.2

Nexteel Co., Ltd., Hyundai Steel 

Company, and SeAh Steel Corporation 

appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On 

September 27, 2021, the CIT remanded 

the Final Results to Commerce, holding 

that Commerce is not permitted to make 

a PMS adjustment to the cost of 

production as an alternative calculation 

methodology when using normal value 

based on home market sales, and that 

Commerce cannot adjust cost of 

production for purposes of the salesbelow-cost test.3

In its final remand redetermination, 

issued in October 2021, Commerce 

removed the PMS adjustment when 

calculating its dumping margin but 

continued to find that a PMS existed in 

Korea for HRC during the period of 

review.4 The CIT sustained Commerce’s 

final redetermination.5

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,6 as clarified 

by Diamond Sawblades,7 the U.S Court 

of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held 

that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), Commerce must publish a 

notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in 

harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

June 16, 2022, judgment constitutes a 

final decision of the CIT that is not in 

harmony with Commerce’s Final 

Results. Thus, this notice is published 

in fulfillment of the publication 

requirements of Timken. 

Amended Final Results 

Because there is now a final court 

judgment, Commerce is amending its 

Final Results with respect to mandatory 

respondent Nexteel Co., Ltd., and the 

non-examined companies (SeAh Steel 

Corporation and Hyundai Steel 

Company) as follows: 

Company 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Nexteel Co., Ltd .......................... 1.63 

Non-Examined Companies 

(SeAH Steel Corporation and 

Hyundai Steel Company) ........ 2.35 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because Nexteel Co., Ltd., SeAh Steel 

Corporation, and Hyundai Steel 

Company have superseding cash deposit 

rates, i.e., there have been final results 

published in a subsequent 

administrative review, we will not issue 

revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 

This notice will not affect the current 

cash deposit rate. 

Liquidation of Suspended Entries 

At this time, Commerce remains 

enjoined by CIT order from liquidating 

entries that: were produced and/or 

exported by Nexteel Co., Ltd., Hyundai 

Steel Company, and SeAh Steel 

Corporation, and were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption during the period 

November 1, 2017, through October 31, 

2018. These entries will remain 

enjoined pursuant to the terms of the 

injunction during the pendency of any 

appeals process. 

In the event the CIT’s ruling is not 

appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a 

final and conclusive court decision, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by Nexteel Co., Ltd., Hyundai Steel 

Company, and SeAh Steel Corporation 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). 

We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review when the 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is not zero or de 

minimis. Where an import-specific ad 

valorem assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis,8 we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Publication of this notice on the 

NCWM’s behalf is undertaken as a 

public service and does not itself 

constitute an endorsement by the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) of the content of the 

notice. NIST participates in the NCWM 

as an NCWM member and pursuant to 

15 U.S.C. 272(b)(10) and (c)(4) and in 

accordance with Federal policy (e.g., 

OMB Circular A–119 ‘‘Federal 

Participation in the Development and 

Use of Voluntary Consensus 

Standards’’). 

The NCWM is an organization of 

weights and measures officials of the 

states, counties, and cities of the United 

States, and representatives from the 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Notices 38065 

private sector and federal agencies. 

These meetings bring together 

government officials and representatives 

of business, industry, trade associations, 

and consumer organizations on subjects 

related to the field of weights and 

measures technology, administration, 

and enforcement. NIST hosted the first 

meeting of the NCWM in 1905. Since 

then, the conference has provided a 

model of cooperation between Federal, 

State, and local governments and the 

private sector. NIST participates to 

encourage cooperation between federal 

agencies and the states in the 

development of legal metrology 

requirements. NIST also promotes 

uniformity in state laws, regulations, 

and testing procedures used in the 

regulatory control of commercial 

weighing and measuring devices, 

packaged goods, and for other trade and 

commerce issues. 

The NCWM has established multiple 

Committees, Task Groups, and other 

working bodies to address legal 

metrology issues of interest to regulatory 

officials, industry, consumers, and 

others. The following are brief 

descriptions of some of the significant 

agenda items that will be considered by 

some of the NCWM Committees at the 

NCWM Annual Meeting. Comments will 

be taken on these and other issues 

during several public comment sessions. 

At this stage, the items are proposals. 

These notices are intended to make 

interested parties aware of these 

development projects and to make them 

aware that reports on the status of the 

project will be given at the 2022 Annual 

Meeting. The notices are also presented 

to invite the participation of 

manufacturers, experts, consumers, 

users, and others who may be interested 

in these efforts. 

The Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee (S&T Committee) will 

consider proposed amendments to NIST 

Handbook 44, ‘‘Specifications, 

Tolerances, and other Technical 

Requirements for Weighing and 

Measuring Devices’’ (NIST Handbook 44 

or HB 44). Those items address 

weighing and measuring devices used in 

commercial applications, that is, 

devices that are used to buy from or sell 

to the public or used for determining the 

quantity of products or services sold 

among businesses. Issues on the agenda 

of the NCWM Laws and Regulations 

Committee (L&R Committee) relate to 

proposals to amend NIST Handbook 

130, ‘‘Uniform Laws and Regulations in 

the area of Legal Metrology and Engine 

Fuel Quality’’ (NIST Handbook 130 or 

HB 130) and NIST Handbook 133, 

‘‘Checking the Net Contents of Packaged 

Goods’’ (NIST Handbook 133 or HB 

133). 

NCWM S&T Committee (S&T 107th 

Annual Meeting) 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 44: 

FRN–2022 Annual Meeting (S&T Items) 

Item Block 2 (B2) Define True Value for 

Use in Error Calculations 

BLK–2: (SCL–20.3, SCL–20.4, SCL–20.5, 

SCL–20.6, SCL–20.7, and SCL–20.8) 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider a proposal that has been 

designated ‘‘Assigned’’ meaning that the 

Committee wants to allow more time for 

review by stakeholders and possibly 

further development to address 

concerns. This ‘‘block’’ proposal 

includes six individual items related to 

the application of NIST Handbook 44 

requirements based on the values of a 

scale’s verification scale division ‘‘e’’ or 

minimum scale division ‘‘d’’. Adoption 

of this proposal would have a 

significant impact on high-precision 

scales of Accuracy Class I and II, 

particularly in cases where the values of 

‘‘e’’ and ‘‘d’’ are not equal. Whereas the 

classification and accuracy of a scale are 

currently based on a scale’s verification 

scale division ‘‘e’’ in NIST Handbook 

44, when a scale’s minimum scale 

division value ‘‘d’’ is different than its 

verification scale division ‘‘e’’ on Class 

I and II scales, the ‘‘d’’ value is the 

smaller of the two and makes possible 

the reading of the indication to a 

significantly higher resolution. 

Item Block 4 (B4) Electronically 

Captured Tickets or Receipts 

BLK–4: (GEN–21.2, LMD–21.2, VTM– 

21.1, LPG–21.1, CLM–21.1, MLK– 

21.1, MFM–21.2, CDL–21.1, HGM– 

21.1, and OTH–21.2) 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider a proposal to allow for the 

expanded use of electronically captured 

tickets and receipts by amending NIST 

HB 44 Sections 1.10. General, 3.30. 

LMD, 3.31. VTM, 3.32. LPG, 3.34. CLM, 

3.37. MFM, 3.38. CDL, 3.39. HGM, 3.35. 

Milk Meters, and the definition of 

‘‘recorded representation’’ in Appendix 

D, Definitions. The Committee amended 

this carry-over block of items during the 

2020 Interim Meeting based on 

comments it received expressing a 

continued need for printed tickets. As a 

result, the proposal now references 

NIST HB 44 paragraph G–S.5.6. 

Recorded Representation in various 

specific codes. At the 2021 NCWM 

Annual Meeting, this item remained 

‘‘Developing’’ for further comment and 

consideration. At the 2022 Interim 

Meeting the S&T Committee again 

designated a ‘‘Developing’’ status for 

this block of items to provide 

stakeholders the opportunity for further 

review and additional comments on the 

various devices affected by this 

proposal. 

LMD—Liquid Measuring Devices 

LMD–21.1 Table S.2.2. Categories of 

Device Method of Sealing 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider a proposal to amend NIST HB 

44 Section 3.30. Liquid-Measuring 

Devices to permit the use of an 

electronic log, in lieu of a printed copy 

for devices with Category 3 sealing. The 

current ‘‘Category 3’’ sealing 

requirements in NIST HB 44 LiquidMeasuring Devices Code Section 3.30. 

specify that a printed copy of an event 

logger must be available on demand 

through the device or through another 

on-site device and that the information 

may also be available electronically. The 

new proposal would amend the 

language in Table S.2.2. ‘‘Categories of 

Device and Methods of Sealing’’ to 

permit either a printed or electronic 

form of the event logger be made 

available at time of inspection. This 

item, LMD–21.1 was previously a 

‘‘block’’ item with LMD 20.1. Both items 

were similar proposals, so the 

submitters of both items agreed to 

withdraw LMD–20.1 and further 

develop LMD 21.1. At the 2021 NCWM 

Interim Meeting, the Committee agreed 

to withdraw item LMD–20.1 from the 

previous block of items and designated 

LMD–21.1 as a developing item so that 

the submitters of both items could work 

together to further develop item LMD– 

21.1. At the 2021 NCWM Annual 

Meeting this item remained 

‘‘Developing’’ for further comments and 

consideration. At the 2022 NCWM 

Interim Meeting both industry and 

regulatory participants were in support 

of the changes to allow the option of 

printed or electronic format for event 

loggers, as a method of sealing for 

Liquid Measuring Devices. As such, the 

Committee designated a Voting status 

for this item. 

VTM—Vehicle Tank Meters 

VTM–18.1 S.3.1 Diversion of Measured 

Liquid and S.3.1.1. Means for Clearing 

the Discharge Hose and UR.2.6. 

Clearing the Discharge on a multipleproduct, single discharge hose 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider this item, which proposes to 

provide specifications and user 

requirements for manifold flush systems 

designed to eliminate product 

contamination on VTMs used for 

multiple products. This proposal would 

add specifications on the design of 

VTMs under S.3.1.1. ‘‘Means for 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
38066 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Notices 

Clearing the Discharge Hose.’’ and add 

a new user requirement UR.2.6. 

‘‘Clearing the Discharge Hose.’’ During 

open hearings of previous NCWM 

meetings, comments were heard about 

the design of any system to clear the 

discharge hose of a product prior to the 

delivery of a subsequent product which 

could provide opportunities to 

fraudulently use this type of system. At 

the 2021 NCWM Annual Meeting this 

item remained ’’Developing’’ for further 

comments and consideration. At the 

2022 Interim Meeting the committee 

agreed to add a new paragraph 

UR.2.6.2., Minimizing Cross 

Contamination, to address issues raised 

about the possibility of cross 

contamination in receiving tanks with 

the use of this equipment. The 

committee designated a Voting status for 

this item. 

EVF—Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems 

EVF–20.1 S.1.3.2. EVSE Value of the 

Smallest Unit 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider a proposal that would specify 

the maximum value of the indicated 

and/or recorded electrical energy unit 

used in an EVSE (Electric Vehicle 

Supply Equipment). This proposal 

would reduce (by a factor of 10) the 

current specified values of these units. 

The current maximum values of 0.005 

MJ and 0.001 kWh would be changed to 

0.0005 MJ and 0.0001 kWh respectively. 

The submitters contend that testing of 

these systems would be expedited 

through these changes and reduce the 

amount of time necessary to complete 

official tests. During the 2021 NCWM 

Annual Meeting additional changes 

were proposed to the Electric Vehicle 

Fueling System Code to add a new 

paragraph S.1.3.X to address how the 

value of the quantity unit shall be 

expressed and at this meeting this item 

remained ‘‘Developing’’ for further 

comments and consideration. At the 

2022 Interim Meeting the Committee 

agreed to additional changes to the item 

under consideration to address how the 

smallest units can be expressed. 

Language was added such that the 

smallest unit for the megajoule is to be 

expressed as a decimal multiple or 

submultiple of 5 and the kilowatt-hour 

is to be expressed as a decimal multiple 

or submultiple of 1. The Committee 

designated a Voting status for this item. 

GMA—Grain Moisture Meters 5.56. (A) 

GMA–19.1 Table T.2.1. Acceptance and 

Maintenance Tolerances Air Oven 

Method for All Grains and Oil Seeds. 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider a proposal that would reduce 

the tolerances for the air oven reference 

method in the Grain Moisture Meter 

Code. The proposed new tolerances 

would apply to all types of grains and 

oil seeds. This item is a carry-over 

proposal from 2019 and would replace 

the contents of Table T.2.1. with new 

criteria. Additional inspection data will 

be collected and reviewed to assess 

whether or not the proposed changes to 

the tolerances are appropriate. At the 

2021 Annual Meeting this item 

remained ‘‘Developing’’ to review the 

results of additional data. At the 2022 

Interim Meeting the Committee 

designated a Developing status for this 

item to allow for consideration of 

additional data. 

TXI/TNS—Taximeters and 

Transportation Network Measurement 

Systems 

Item BLOCK 3 (B3). Tolerances for 

Distance Testing in Taximeters and 

Transportation Network Measurement 

Systems. 

The S&T Committee will further 

consider changes included in this block 

affecting the NIST HB 44 Taximeters 

Code (Section 5.54.) and the 

Transportation Network Measurement 

Systems (TNMS) Code (Section 5.60.) 

that would amend the value of 

tolerances allowed for distance tests. 

The changes proposed in this item 

would change the Taximeters Code 

requirement T.1.1. ‘‘On Distance Tests’’ 

by increasing that tolerance to 2.5% 

when the test exceeds one mile. The 

change to the TNMS Code affects 

paragraph T.1.1. ‘‘Distance Tests’’ by 

reducing the tolerance allowed on 

overregistration under T.1.1.(a) from the 

current 2.5% to 1% when the test does 

not exceed one mile and would increase 

the tolerance for underregistration in 

T.1.1.(b) from 2.5% to 4%. These 

changes if adopted would align the 

tolerances values for distance tests 

allowed for taximeters and TNMS. At 

the 2021 NCWM Annual Meeting it was 

noted that these items were being 

discussed with the USNWG. This item 

remained ‘‘Developing’’ for further 

comment and consideration. At the 

2022 Interim Meeting the Committee 

designated a Developing status for this 

item and recommended that the 

submitter work with the USNWG to 

further develop the item. 

NCWM L&R Committee 

NIST Handbook 130 and NIST 

Handbook 133 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbooks 130 and 133: 

Item Block 1 (B1)—Multiunit or Variety 

Packages (NIST HB 130 and HB 133) 

The L&R Committee will be 

addressing a group of proposals that 

will include the adoption for creating a 

Chapter 5, Specialized Test Procedures 

in NIST HB 133 to verify the net 

quantity of contents of retail multiunit 

or variety packages. In addition, 

modified language will be addressed in 

the following sections of NIST HB 130, 

PAL–19.1. UPLR, Sec. 2.8. Multiunit 

Package. NET–19.2. NIST HB 133 

Modify ‘‘scope’’ for Chapters 2 through 

4, add a note following Sections 2.3.7.1. 

and 2.7.3., and clarifying Section 2.8. 

Multiunit. 

Item MOS–22.4. Section 2.16. 

Compressed or Liquefied Gasses in 

Refillable Cylinders 

The L&R Committee will consider 

proposed amendments to NIST HB 130, 

Method of Sale, Section 2.16. for the 

method of sale of Compressed or 

Liquefied Gases in Refillable Cylinders. 

The amendments are being considered 

so that existing NIST HB 130 

requirements are not in conflict with 

new requirements published by the U.S. 

Department of Transportation (DOT) in 

a Final Rule—entitled Hazardous 

Materials: Miscellaneous Amendments 

Pertaining to DOT Specification 

Cylinders, which has been implemented 

in 49 CFR 178.35 . It is likely that the 

conflicting requirements in the Method 

of Sale of Commodities Regulation will 

be preempted by these (DOT) 

regulations because DOT has exclusive 

authority to regulate the safety and 

interstate commerce of this commodity. 

Item MOS–20.5 Section 2.21 Liquefied 

Petroleum Gas 

The L&R Committee will further 

consider a proposal to clarify the 

existing language for the method of sale 

of Liquefied Petroleum Gas. This will 

include changes to the existing language 

within NIST HB 130 that references a 

value of ‘‘15.6 °C’’ for temperature 

determinations in metric units. 

According to the current industry 

practice for sales of petroleum products, 

the reference temperature for sales in 

metric are based on 15 °C rather than 

the exact conversion from 60 °F (which 

is 15.6 °C). Thus, the temperature 

reference in metric should be 15 °C. 

This will also add language for metered 

sales with a maximum capacity equal to 

or greater than 20 gal/min will have a 

metering system that automatic 

temperature compensates. For metering 

systems with a maximum capacity less 

than 20 gal/min adding an effective date 

of January 2030 to all metered sales 

shall be accomplished using a metering 

system that automatic temperature 

compensates. 

Item MOS 22.3. Section 2.4. Fireplace 

and Stove Wood

1 In contrast to hemp, marijuana, defined as 

cannabis with a concentration of more than 0.3 

percent on a dry weight basis, remains a Schedule 

I substance under the Controlled Substances Act 

(CSA). 21 U.S.C. 802(16); 21 U.S.C. 812(d); 21 CFR 

1308.11(d)(23). 

The Committee will consider a 

proposal to modify and provide clarity 

to the language as to how packaged 

natural wood and compressed firewood 

bricks shall be sold. This also clarifies 

the terms for plural and singular 

representation for the units. 

Item 22.1. Uniform Labeling Regulation 

for Electronic Commerce (referred as 

e-commerce) Products 

The L&R Committee will further 

consider a proposal that has been 

designated as an ‘‘Assigned’’ item, 

meaning that further development will 

be done by the Packaging and Labeling 

Subcommittee. This proposal would 

add a new regulation into NIST HB 130 

that pertains to the labeling of products 

in e-commerce for consumer 

commodities and non-consumer 

commodities. This regulation will 

provide guidance to industry, as well as 

those states that adopt this regulation 

for the purpose of inspecting ecommerce websites. This regulation 

would also lay out the terms that shall 

appear on an e-commerce website. The 

development of this item will include 

outreach to stakeholders, including 

federal agencies. Adequate time should 

be considered for the implementation of 

this regulation for online retailers. 

Item Block 3 Cannabis 

B3: PALS –22.1. Section XX. Cannabis 

and Cannabis-Containing Products.1

The Committee will further consider 

proposals to establish definitions within 

NIST HB 130 Packaging and Labeling 

Requirements for Cannabis and 

Cannabis containing products. In 

addition, PAL–22.2 Section 10.XX. 

Cannabis and Cannabis-Containing 

Products will establish labeling 

requirements. B3: NET–22.1. Section 

1.XX. Cannabis and CannabisContaining Products and 2.XX. 

Cannabis and Cannabis-Containing 

Products. provides for a 3% moisture 

allowance for Cannabis containing more 

than 0.3% total Delta-9 THC or 

containing 0.3% less total Delta-9 THC 

(hemp). B3: MOS–22.2. HB130 Section 

1.XX. and Section 2.XX. Cannabis and 

Cannabis-Containing Products. The 

Committee will consider a proposal to 

amend these two sections to include 

language for a method of sale for 

Cannabis. Included within this proposal 

is also a water activity limit of 0.60

(± 0.05), when unprocessed Cannabis is 

sold or transferred.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

ESA-Listed Species Covered in This 

Notice 

• Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss)— 

Central California Coast (CCC) distinct 

population segment (DPS) 

Discussion of the Biological Analysis 

Underlying Permit Issuance 

NMFS has issued a permit for UACG 

to implement the RRMP, which is 

intended to increase adult CCC 

steelhead DPS abundance in the 

Petaluma River Watershed. Fish rearing 

will occur at the UACG Hatchery and 

will be run by Casa Grande High School 

located in Petaluma, California. The 

RRMP has two main components: (1) 

rescue and translocate wild steelhead 

from drying stream reaches; and (2) 

captively rear wild fry at the UACG 

Hatchery to be released as smolts into 

natal tributaries. There is no spawning 

of steelhead at the Hatchery. These 

management actions should result in 

higher survival rates; thereby increasing 

the abundance of the population over 

time. 

The program uses natural-origin fish, 

and the permit for this program is 

issued under ESA section 10(a)(1)(A). 

Description of the programs was 

provided in the RRMP submitted by the 

UACG. NMFS has analyzed the effects 

of the RRMP on CCC DPS steelhead 

listed under the ESA, and has 

concluded that the program is not likely 

to jeopardize the continued existence of 

CCC steelhead or destroy or adversely 

modify its designated critical habitat. 

Authorization of the activities is 

contingent upon implementation of all 

of the monitoring, evaluation, reporting 

tasks or assignments, and enforcement 

activities included in the permit.
