Postponement of Final LTFV 

Determinations and Aligned Final CVD 

Determinations 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2) provide that a final 

determination may be postponed until 

not later than 135 days after the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determination if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the exporters or producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2) requires that such 

postponement requests by exporters be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period of not more 

than six months, in accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act. 

Between September 14, 2017, and 

October 10, 2017, Ferriere Nord S.p.A. 

(Ferriere Nord); POSCO; Global Steel 

Wire SA (GSW), CELSA Atlantic SA 

(CELSA Atlantic) and Compania 

Espanola de Laminacion (CELSA 

Barcelona) (collectively, CELSA); Habas 

Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi 

A.S. (Habas); Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane 

ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas); and 

British Steel Limited (British Steel), 

mandatory respondents in these 

investigations, requested that the 

Department fully extend the deadline 

for the final LTFV determinations, and 

extend the application of the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period of not more than six 

months.4

On October 27, 2017, Gerdau 

Ameristeel US Inc., Nucor Corporation, 

Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., 

and Charter Steel (collectively, the 

Petitioners), requested that the 

Department grant the requests of the 

respondents in these investigations and 

fully extend the deadline for the final 

LTFV determinations.5

In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The 

preliminary determination was 

affirmative; (2) the request was made by 

the exporters and producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, the Department is postponing the 

final determinations until no later than 

135 days after the date of the 

publication of of the LTFV Preliminary 

Determinations, and extend the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period of not more than six 

months. Because the CVD investigations 

covering Italy and Turkey are aligned 

with the LTFV investigations as noted 

above, the Department will issue its 

final determinations in the CVD and 

LTFV investigations no later than March 

15, 2018. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(g).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Global Change Research Program 

(USGCRP) is mandated under the Global 

Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 to 

conduct a quadrennial National Climate 

Assessment (NCA) to evaluate scientific 

findings and uncertainties related to 

global change, analyze the effects of 

global change, and analyze the current 

and projected trends in global change, 

both human-induced and natural. 

The Fourth NCA fulfills this mandate 

by synthesizing and assessing the 

science and impacts of climate change 

across 15 sectors and 10 regions of the 

United States, and considers options to 

reduce present and future risk, in a 

policy-relevant, but not policyprescriptive manner. The Fourth NCA is 

a product of the USGCRP, and is

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Authorization of Subgrants for the 

High School Career and Technical 

Education Teacher Pathway Initiative 

AGENCY: Office of Career, Technical, and

Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Education 

Department General Administrative 

Regulations, this notice authorizes 

grantees receiving awards under the 

High School Career and Technical 

Education (CTE) Teacher Pathway 

Initiative (CFDA 84.051D) to make 

subgrants, subject to the limitations 

described in this notice. 

DATES: Grantees may begin making 

subgrants on November 7, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., 

Potomac Center Plaza (PCP), Room 

11028, Washington, DC 20202–7241.

Service (FRS), toll free, at 1–800–877–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the High School CTE Teacher Pathway 

Initiative is to improve CTE programs 

assisted under the Carl D. Perkins 

Career and Technical Education Act of 

2006 (the Perkins Act) by increasing the 

supply of high school CTE teachers 

available to teach students in CTE 

programs that align to in-demand 

industry sectors or occupations in States 

and communities where shortages of 

such teachers exist. 

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 2324. 

Applicable Regulations: (a) The 

Education Department General 

Administrative Regulations in 34 CFR 

parts 75, 77, 79, 81, 82, 84, 86, and 99. 

(b) The Office of Management and 

Budget Guidelines to Agencies on 

Governmentwide Debarment and 

Suspension (Nonprocurement) in 2 CFR 

part 180, as adopted and amended as 

regulations of the Department in 2 CFR 

part 3485. (c) The Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards in 2 CFR part 200, as 

adopted and amended as regulations of 

the Department in 2 CFR part 3474. (d) 

The priorities and requirements in the 

notice inviting applications for this 

program, published June 13, 2017, in 

the Federal Register (82 FR 27047). 

Eligible Entities for Subgrants: The 

following entities are eligible to apply 

under this competition: 

(a) A State board designated or 

created consistent with State law as the 

sole State agency responsible for the 

administration of CTE in the State or for 

the supervision of the administration of 

CTE in the State; 

(b) A local educational agency (LEA) 

(including a public charter school that 

operates as an LEA), an area CTE school, 

an educational service agency, or a 

consortium of such entities, in each 

case, that receives assistance under 

section 131 of the Perkins Act; and 

(c) An eligible institution or 

consortium of eligible institutions that 

receives assistance under section 132 of 

the Perkins Act. 

Discussion: Recognizing that creating 

sustainable, new, or expanded pathways 

to recruit and retain CTE teachers will 

require collaborative approaches and 

coordination among several entities, the 

Department of Education has required 

that the applicants to the High School 

CTE Teacher Pathway Initiative create 

partnerships to carry out the activities 

proposed in the applications. The Office 

of Career, Technical, and Adult 

Education has determined that for some 

of the partnerships, subgranting may be 

appropriate and necessary to meet the 

purposes of the High School CTE 

Teacher Pathway Initiative, particularly 

for State eligible agencies that receive a 

High School CTE Teacher Pathway 

Initiative grant award, because many of 

the allowable activities are decided and 

implemented at the school district level. 

The current absence of subgranting 

authority limits the extent to which the 

program grantees and partners can most 

effectively collaborate to conduct the 

activities described in funded 

applications. 

Requirements: If the grantee uses this 

subgranting authority, the subgrants, 

consistent with 34 CFR 75.708(b)(2), 

must be used only to carry out directly 

those project activities described in the 

grantee’s approved application. 

Consistent with 34 CFR 75.708(d), 

grantees must ensure that subgrants are 

awarded on the basis of the approved 

budget that is consistent with the 

grantee’s approved application and all 

applicable Federal statutory, regulatory, 

and other requirements. Grantees have 

the authority to award subgrants to 

entities that have been identified in 

their applications as well as to those 

that are awarded a subgrant through a 

competitive award process. Grantees 

under the High School CTE Teacher 

Pathway Initiative must ensure that 

every subgrant includes any conditions 

required by Federal statutes and 

Executive orders and their 

implementing regulations. Grantees 

must ensure that subgrantees are aware 

of the requirements imposed upon them 

by Federal statutes and regulations, 

including the Federal antidiscrimination laws listed in 34 CFR 

75.500, and enforced by the Department. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications.
