SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 12, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (Department) initiated a 

countervailing duty investigation on 

ripe olives from Spain.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determination is due no 

later than September 15, 2017. 

Postponement of the Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which the Department initiated 

the investigation. However, section 

703(c)(1) of the Act permits the 

Department to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 130 

days after the date on which the 

Department initiated the investigation 

if: (A) The petitioner 2 makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) the 

Department concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. The 

Department will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On August 7, 2017, the petitioner 

submitted a timely request that we 

postpone the preliminary CVD 

determination.3 The petitioner stated 

that it requests postponement because 

the Department continues to gather 

‘‘questionnaire responses from the 

Government of Spain, the European 

Union, and the mandatory respondents 

in this investigation. Thus, extra time is 

needed to permit the Department . . . to 

analyze fully the questionnaire 

responses, request any necessary 

clarifications, and determine the extent 

to which countervailable subsidies have 

been bestowed on the respondents.’’ 4 In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the 

petitioner has stated the reasons for 

requesting a postponement of the 

preliminary determination, and the 

Department finds no compelling reason 

to deny the request. Therefore, pursuant 

to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, we are 

extending the due date for the 

preliminary determination to no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

this investigation was initiated, i.e., to 

November 20, 2017.5 Pursuant to 

section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determination will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determination. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(l).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NCCP 

announces the reconstitution of its 

Federated Cloud Public Working Group 

(Working Group). The Working Group 

was formed to address Requirement #5 

of NIST’s US Government Cloud 

Computing Technology Roadmap (NIST 

SP 500–293) (Cloud Computing 

Roadmap), ‘‘Frameworks to Support 

Federated Community Clouds.’’ This 

requirement calls for ‘‘frameworks to 

support seamless implementation of 

federated community cloud 

environments.’’ The Working Group’s 

activities will resume and initiate work 

to try and fully understand and describe 

the elements of federated cloud 

computing. Assorted topics include 

developing and gaining consensus on a 

common federated cloud computing 

vocabulary, as well as developing an 

underlying conceptual model of what 

federated cloud computing is, its major 

components, and users/stakeholders. 

An initial teleconference will take 

place on Thursday, August 31, 2017, at 

10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The dial-in 

number is 1–877–953–0273, and the 

passcode is 456–4979. Members of the 

public who wish to participate in the 

teleconference should provide their 

name and email address to fedcloud@

nist.gov, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern 

Time on Thursday, August 24, 2017. 

Responses received after the deadline 

will also be added to the group’s 

mailing list, but they may not receive 

initial documentation prior to the first 

meeting. Members of the public who 

provide their email addresses but who 

cannot participate in the initial 

teleconference will still be notified 

about subsequent meetings. It is 

anticipated that there will be 

subsequent monthly meetings by 

teleconference on the fourth Thursday 

of every month from either 11:00 a.m. to 

1:00 p.m. Eastern Time or 1:30 p.m. to 

3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. A schedule of 

meeting times will be provided to all 

participants who submit their name and 

email address as provided above. 

Participation in the Working Group is 

open to all interested parties; there is no 

fee to participate. Standing Rules 

Documents explaining how the group 

will be run will be made available at the 

first meeting to all Working Group 

members. Final technical 

recommendations from the Working 

Group will be made publicly accessible 

on the NIST Cloud Computing Portal, 

and NIST may make the results of this 

Working Group available to Standards 

Developing Organizations and other 

interested parties. 

Background 

The Cloud Computing Roadmap is 

being used industry-wide to advance the 

rapid adoption of cloud computing. 

Two of the 10 requirements (numbers 5 

and 8) in the Cloud Computing 

Roadmap point to the next generation of 

cloud computing which will be focused 

on the concept of federated clouds. 

Federated clouds represent a future 

where there is seamless integration 

between multiple cloud service 

providers. Fulfilling this vision of the 

future of cloud computing will require 

a foundational effort to understand all 

the technological and standards-based 

obstacles that will need to be addressed 

to build the necessary underlying 

architecture. 

Scope 

The scope of the project is to fully 

understand and describe the elements of 

federated cloud computing. This will 

involve developing and gaining 

consensus on a common federated cloud 

computing vocabulary, as well as 

developing an underlying conceptual 

model of what federated cloud 

computing is, its major components, 

and users/stakeholders. The Working 

Group will then use that conceptual 

model to map out an implementation 

strategy including a gap analysis to 

identify the missing technologies and 

standards needed to cultivate a seamless 

system of systems. The anticipated 

results are: 

• Federated Cloud Computing 

Vocabulary; 

• Conceptual Model of Federated 

Clouds; and 

• Technology Gap Analysis. 

The Working Group will also 

investigate and identify the needed 

technologies, tools, and standards to 

enable these environments. They will 

use material from NIST’s Cloud 

Computing Reference Architecture 

(NIST SP 500–292) and materials 

located at the group’s public twiki site: 

http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloudcomputing/bin/view/CloudComputing/ 

RATax_FedCommunity. 

The Working Group will work in a 

coordinated effort with the IEEE ICWG/ 

2302 WG—Intercloud Working Group to 

produce an implementation of this 

reference material and create a 

compliant technical standard. A list of 

NIST’s Cloud Computing Working 

Groups can be found at http://

collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloudcomputing/bin/view/CloudComputing/ 

WebHome#Working_Groups_of_NIST_

Cloud_Com. The work of the NIST 

Cloud Computing Working Groups is 

interrelated, and this Working Group 

will also liaise with other working 

groups as needed. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272(b)(3) & (c)(12).
