parties: Bull Moose, Exltube, TMK

(hereinafter referred to as the domestic 

interested parties).3 The domestic 

interested parties claimed interested 

party status under section 771(9)(C) of 

the Act, as manufacturers, producers, or 

wholesalers in the United States of a 

domestic like product.4 On June 30, 

2017, the domestic interested parties 

submitted their substantive response.5

On July 3, 2017, the Government of 

Turkey (GOT) submitted its substantive 

response in which it expressed its intent 

to participate in this review as the 

government of the country in which 

subject merchandise is produced and 

exported.6 On July 10, 2017, the 

domestic interested parties submitted 

rebuttal comments to the GOT 

Substantive Response.7

The Department did not receive any 

substantive responses from Turkish 

producers or exporters of the 

merchandise covered by this order. A 

government’s response alone, normally, 

is not sufficient for the Department to 

conduct a full sunset review, unless the 

investigation was conducted on an 

aggregate basis.8 Because this 

investigation was conducted on a 

company-specific, rather than an 

aggregate, basis,9 we determined that no 

company respondent interested party 

submitted a substantive response, and 

thus, conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of this order.10

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

certain welded carbon steel pipes and 

tubes with an outside diameter of 0.375 

inch or more, but not over 16 inches, of 

any wall thickness (pipes and tubes) 

from Turkey. These products are 

currently provided for under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) as item numbers 

7306.30.10, 7306.30.50, and 7306.90.10. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this review are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, which is dated 

concurrently with and adopted by this 

notice.11 The issues discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum 

include the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of a countervailable 

subsidy and the net countervailable 

subsidy likely to prevail if the Order 

were revoked. Parties can find a 

complete discussion of all issues raised 

in this expedited sunset review and the 

corresponding recommendations in this 

public memorandum, which is on file 

electronically via the Enforcement and 

Compliance Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, the 

Department determines that revocation 

of the CVD order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of a 

countervailable subsidy at the rates 

listed below:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

original notice published in the Federal 

Register on August 29, 2017 (82 FR 

40995). The notice announces the 

rescheduled date of the meeting from 

September 21, 2017 to October 26, 2017. 

The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, 

and Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop, (2) a series of assessment 

webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop. 

The product of the Data Workshop is a 

report that compiles and evaluates 

potential datasets and recommends 

which datasets are appropriate for 

assessment analyses. The assessment 

webinars produce a report that describes 

the fisheries, evaluates the status of the 

stock, estimates biological benchmarks, 

projects future population conditions, 

and recommends research and 

monitoring needs. The product of the 

Review Workshop is an Assessment 

Summary documenting panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

HMS Management Division, and 

Southeast Fisheries Science Center. 

Participants include data collectors and 

database managers; stock assessment 

scientists, biologists, and researchers; 

constituency representatives including 

fishermen, environmentalists, and 

NGO’s; International experts; and staff 

of Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion during the 

assessment scoping webinar are as 

follows: 

Panelists will review the data sets 

being considered for the assessment and 

discuss initial modeling efforts. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the intent to take final action 

to address the emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

The meeting is physically accessible 

to people with disabilities. Requests for 

sign language interpretation or other 

auxiliary aids should be directed to the 

Council office (see ADDRESSES) at least 5 

business days prior to each workshop.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: NMFS Alaska Region Vessel 

Monitoring System (VMS) Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0445. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 1,139. 

Average Hours per Response: 12 

minutes for VMS check-in report; 2 

hours for VMS operation (includes 

installation and maintenance). 

Burden Hours: 5,101. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) 

units integrate global positioning system 

(GPS) and communications electronics 

into a single, tamper-resistant package 

to automatically determine the vessel’s 

position several times per hour. The 

units can be set to transmit a vessel’s 

location periodically and automatically 

to an overhead satellite in real time. In 

most cases, the vessel owner is unaware 

of exactly when the unit is transmitting 

and is unable to alter the signal or the 

time of transmission. The VMS unit is 

passive and automatic, requiring no 

reporting effort by the vessel operator. A 

communications service provider 

receives the transmission and relays it 

to the National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) Office of Law Enforcement and 

the U.S. Coast Guard. Enforcement of 

management measures, such as directed 

fishing closures and critical habitat nofishing zones, relies heavily on the use 

of VMS. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Annually and on occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow 

the instructions to view Department of 

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to OIRA_Submission@

omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806. 

Dated: October 3, 2017.
