SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Consistent with Executive Order 

13175,1 HUD’s Tribal Government-toGovernment Consultation Policy 

recognizes the right of Indian tribes to 

self-governance and supports Tribal 

sovereignty and self-determination.2 It 

provides that HUD will engage in 

regular and meaningful consultation 

and collaboration with Tribal officials in 

the development of Federal policies that 

have Tribal implications. Executive 

Order 13175 also requires Federal 

agencies to advance Tribal selfgovernance and ensure that the rights of 

sovereign Tribal governments are fully 

respected by conducting open and 

candid consultations. On January 26, 

2021, President Biden issued a 

Presidential Memorandum on Tribal 

Consultation and Strengthening Nationto-Nation Relationships.3 The 

memorandum directed all Federal 

agencies to take actions to strengthen 

their Tribal consultation policies and 

practices and to further the purposes of 

Executive Order 13175. 

On March 31, 2022, HUD published a 

notice 4 in the Federal Register that 

provided the revised structure of the 

TIAC and requested the submission of 

Tribal nominations to the TIAC. While 

a sufficient number of nominations were 

received to fill the Tribal positions, 

HUD did not receive Tribal nominations 

from the Southwest Region. To ensure 

that the TIAC provides sufficient 

representation, HUD is extending the 

nomination deadline for TIAC. 

Nominations are due on or before: July 

28, 2022. HUD encourages nominations 

from Tribes from all regions. 

II. Previously Submitted Nominations 

Previously submitted nominations do 

not need to be resubmitted for 

consideration. These names are already 

being taken under consideration, along 

with any other nominations that will be 

forthcoming under the extension. 

III. Nominations for TIAC 

Representation 

HUD is requesting nominations for 

Tribal representatives to serve on the 

TIAC. Nominations are due on or before: 

July 28, 2022. If you are interested in 

serving as a representative of the 

Committee or in nominating another 

person to serve as a representative of the 

Committee, you may submit a 

nomination to HUD in accordance with 

the Electronic Submission of 

Nominations section of this notice. Your 

nomination for representation on the 

Committee must include: 

1. The name of the nominee, a 

description of the interests the nominee 

would represent, and a description of 

the nominee’s experience and interest in 

American Indian and Alaska Native 

housing and community development 

matters; 

2. Evidence that the nominee is a duly 

elected or appointed Tribal leader and 

is authorized to represent a federally 

recognized tribal government or Alaska 

Native Corporation; 

3. A written commitment from the 

nominee that she or he will actively 

engage and participate in the Committee 

meetings; and 

4. A written preference for serving 

either a two- or a three-year term on the 

TIAC. HUD will appoint the 

representatives of the TIAC from the 

pool of nominees submitted in response 

to this notice. HUD will announce the 

final selections for TIAC representatives 

in a subsequent Federal Register notice. 

Representatives will be selected based 

on proven experience and interest in 

American Indian and Alaska Native 

(AIAN) housing and community 

development matters and whether the 

interest of the proposed representative 

could be represented adequately by 

other representatives. In addition to the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
38422 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Notices 

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 

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the final phase of this 

investigation as parties must file an
