criteria above, at-large representatives 

will be selected based on their ability to 

represent specific interests that might 

not be represented by the selected 

regional representatives. 

Generally, only elected officers of a 

tribal government acting in their official 

capacities with authority to act on 

behalf of the tribal government may 

serve as TIAC representatives or 

alternates of the TIAC. However, tribal 

employees are also eligible to serve if 

appointed by a duly elected tribal leader 

of a federally recognized tribe and are 

authorized to officially act on the Tribal 

government’s behalf. Elected officials 

representing Alaska Native 

Corporations, or designated employees, 

may also serve on TIAC at HUD’s 

discretion provided they demonstrate 

that they meet the criteria specified in 

the statutory exemption to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) found 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) at 2 U.S.C. 1534(b). 

Because the TIAC will operate under 

the Tribal government statutory 

exemption to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) found in the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) at 2 U.S.C. 1534(b), HUD will 

not consider nominees solely 

representing Tribally Designated 

Housing Entities, state recognized 

Tribes, or national or regional 

organizations. However, HUD will 

consider nominations from associations 

that represent elected officials of Tribes 

who have been designated by an elected 

Tribal leader to participate in TIAC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope.— For purposes of this 

investigation, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as 

superabsorbent polymers (SAP), which 

is cross-linked sodium polyacrylate 

most commonly conforming to 

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

registry number 9003–04–7, where at 

least 90 percent of the dry matter, by 

weight on a nominal basis, corrected for 

moisture content, is comprised of a 

polymer with a chemical formula of 

(C3H3O2NaxH1¥x)n, where x is within a 

range of 0.00–1.00 and there is no limit 

to n. The subject merchandise also 

includes merchandise with a chemical 

formula of {(C2H3) COONayH(1¥y)}n,

where y is within a range of 0.00–1.00 

and there is no limit to n. The subject 

merchandise includes SAP which is 

fully neutralized as well as SAP that is 

not fully neutralized. 

The subject merchandise may also 

conform to CAS numbers 25549–84–2, 

77751–27–0, 9065–11–6, 9033–79–8, 

164715–58–6, 445299–36–5, 912842– 

45–6, 561012–86–0, 561012–85–9, or 

9003–01–4. 

All forms and sizes of SAP, regardless 

of packaging type, including but not 

limited to granules, pellets, powder, 

fibers, flakes, liquid, or gel are within 

the scope of this investigation. The 

scope also includes SAP whether or not 

it incorporates additives for anticaking, 

anti-odor, anti-yellowing, or similar 

functions. 

The scope also includes SAP that is 

combined, commingled, or mixed with 

other products after final sieving. For 

such combined products, only the SAP 

component is covered by the scope of 

this investigation. SAP that has been 

combined with other products is 

included within the scope, regardless of 

whether the combining occurs in third 

countries. A combination is excluded 

from this investigation if the total SAP 

component of the combination 

(regardless of the source or sources) 

comprises less than 50 percent of the 

combination, on a nominal dry weight 

basis. 

SAP is classified under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheading 

3906.90.50. SAP may also enter the 

United States under HTSUS 3906.10.00. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings and 

CAS registry numbers are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Background.—The final phase of this 

investigation is being scheduled, 

pursuant to section 735(b) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), as a 

result of an affirmative preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of superabsorbent polymers 

from South Korea are being sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of § 733 of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1673b). The investigation was 

requested in a petition filed on 

November 2, 2021, by the Ad Hoc 

Coalition of American SAP Producers, 

whose members include BASF 

Corporation, Florham Park, New Jersey; 

Evonik Superabsorber LLC, Greensboro, 

North Carolina; and Nippon Shokubai 

America Industries, Inc., Pasadena, 

Texas.

the conduct of this phase of the 

investigation, hearing procedures, and 

rules of general application, consult the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B 

(19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207). 

Participation in the investigation and 

public service list.—Persons, including
