programs on that distribution. They also 

need improved and expanded data on 

the income and general economic and 

financial situation of the U.S. 

population, which the SIPP has 

provided on a continuing basis since 

1983. The SIPP has measured levels of 

economic well-being and permitted 

measurement of changes in these levels 

over time. 

The 2018 SIPP interview includes a 

portion conducted using an Event 

History Calendar (EHC) that facilitates 

the collection of dates of events and 

spells of coverage. The EHC assists the 

respondent’s ability to recall events 

accurately over the one year reference 

period and provides increased data 

quality and inter-topic consistency for 

dates reported by respondents. The EHC 

is intended to help respondents recall 

information in a more natural 

‘‘autobiographical’’ manner by using life 

events as triggers to recall other 

economic events. The EHC was 

previously used in the 2014 Panel. The 

2018 Panel SIPP design does not contain 

freestanding topical modules; however, 

a portion of traditional SIPP topical 

module content is integrated into the 

2018 SIPP Panel interview. Examples of 

this content include questions on 

medical expenses, child care, retirement 

and pension plan coverage, marital 

history, adult and child well-being, and 

others. 

Affected Public: Respondents, 

researchers, policymakers. 

Frequency: The 2018 SIPP Panel is an 

annual survey that runs for four years 

consecutively (Waves 1–4). 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Sections 141 and 182.

Notice of Availability of a Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement for the South Region of the 

Nationwide Public Safety Broadband 

Network 

AGENCY: First Responder Network 

Authority, National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a final 

programmatic environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: The First Responder Network 

Authority (‘‘FirstNet’’) announces the 

availability of the Final Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

South Region (‘‘Final PEIS’’). The Final 

PEIS evaluates the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

nationwide public safety broadband 

network in the South Region (Alabama, 

Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, 

Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, 

North Carolina, Oklahoma, South 

Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas). 

ADDRESSES: The Final PEIS is available 

for download from www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Middle Class Tax Relief and Job 

Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–96, 

Title VI, 126 Stat. 256 (codified at 47 

U.S.C. 1401 et seq.)) (the ‘‘Act’’) created 

and authorized FirstNet to take all 

actions necessary to ensure the building, 

deployment, and operation of an 

interoperable, nationwide public safety 

broadband network (‘‘NPSBN’’) based 

on a single, national network 

architecture. The Act meets a 

longstanding and critical national 

infrastructure need, to create a single, 

nationwide network that will, for the 

first time, allow police officers, fire 

fighters, emergency medical service 

professionals, and other public safety 

entities to effectively communicate with 

each other across agencies and 

jurisdictions. The NPSBN is intended to 

enhance the ability of the public safety 

community to perform more reliably, 

effectively, and safely; increase 

situational awareness during an 

emergency; and improve the ability of 

the public safety community to 

effectively engage in those critical 

activities. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347) 

(‘‘NEPA’’) requires federal agencies to 

undertake an assessment of 

environmental effects of their proposed 

actions prior to making a final decision 

and implementing the action. NEPA 

requirements apply to any federal 

project, decision, or action that may 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment. NEPA also 

establishes the Council on 

Environmental Quality (‘‘CEQ’’), which 

issued regulations implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (see 40 

CFR parts 1500–1508). Among other 

considerations, CEQ regulations at 40 

CFR 1508.28 recommend the use of 

tiering from a ‘‘broader environmental 

impact statement (such as a national 

program or policy statements) with 

subsequent narrower statements or 

environmental analysis (such as 

regional or basin wide statements or 

ultimately site-specific statements) 

incorporating by reference the general 

discussions and concentrating solely on 

the issues specific to the statement 

subsequently prepared.’’ 

Due to the geographic scope of 

FirstNet (all 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, and five territories) and the 

diversity of ecosystems potentially 

traversed by the project, FirstNet elected 

to prepare five regional PEISs. The five 

PEISs are divided into the East, Central, 

West, South, and Non-Contiguous 

Regions. The South Region consists of 

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, 

Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New 

Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, 

South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. 

The Final PEIS analyzes potential 

impacts of the deployment and 

operation of the NPSBN on the natural 

and human environment in the South 

Region, in accordance with FirstNet’s 

responsibilities under NEPA. 

Now that this PEIS has been 

completed and once a Record of 

Decision (ROD) has been signed, the 

proposed FirstNet projects can begin to 

submit the site-specific environmental 

documentation to determine if the 

proposed project has been adequately 

evaluated in the PEIS or whether it 

instead warrants a Categorical 

Exclusion, an Environmental

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 703(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). The Department published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on May 26, 2017.1 On July 5, 2017, the 

Department postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation and 

the revised deadline is now September 

25, 2017.2 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is aircraft from Canada. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

the Department’s regulations,4 the 

Initiation Notice set aside a period of 

time for parties to raise issues regarding 

product coverage, (i.e., scope).5 Certain 

interested parties commented on the 

scope of the investigation as it appeared 

in the Initiation Notice. The Department 

intends to issue its preliminary decision 

regarding comments concerning the 

scope of the antidumping duty (AD) and 

countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations in the preliminary 

determination of the companion AD 

investigation. 

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.6

Alignment 

As noted in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, in accordance with 

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

351.210(b)(4), the Department is 

aligning the final CVD determination in 

this investigation with the final
