Standards, Priorities and Gaps; and 

provide input to NIST on the overall 

direction, status and health of the Smart 

Grid implementation by the Smart Grid 

industry including identification of 

issues and needs. The Committee’s 

input to NIST will be used to help guide 

Smart Grid Interoperability Panel 

activities and also assist NIST in 

directing research and standards 

activities. Upon request of the Director 

of NIST, the Committee will prepare 

reports on issues affecting Smart Grid 

activities. 

II. Structure 

The Director of NIST shall appoint the 

members of the Committee, and they 

will be selected on a clear, standardized 

basis, in accordance with applicable 

Department of Commence guidance.

The term of office of each member of the 

Committee shall be 3 years, except that 

vacancy appointments shall be for the 

remainder of the unexpired term of the

Western Pacific Crustacean Fisheries; 

2010 Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 

Lobster Harvest Guideline 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notification of lobster harvest 

guideline. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the 

annual harvest guideline for the 

commercial lobster fishery in the 

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) 

for calendar year 2010 is established at 

zero lobsters. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob 

Harman, NMFS Pacific Islands Region, 

808–944–2271. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NWHI 

commercial lobster fishery is managed 

under the Fishery Management Plan for 

Crustacean Fisheries of the Western 

Pacific Region. The regulations at 50 

CFR 665.50(b)(2) require NMFS to 

publish an annual harvest guideline for 

lobster Permit Area 1, comprised of 

Federal waters around the NWHI. 

Regulations governing the 

Papahanaumokuakea Marine National 

Monument in the NWHI prohibit the 

unpermitted removal of monument 

resources (50 CFR 404.7), and establish 

a zero annual harvest guideline for 

lobsters (50 CFR 404.10(a)). 

Accordingly, NMFS establishes the 

harvest guideline at zero lobsters for the 

NWHI commercial lobster fishery for 

calendar year 2010. Thus, no harvest of 

NWHI lobster resources is allowed. 

Furthermore, the NMFS Regional 

Administrator determined that all 15 

NWHI lobster limited entry permits held 

by vessel owners (i.e., permit holders) 

are no longer valid. This action 

complies with the final rule governing 

compensation to Federal commercial 

bottomfish and lobster fishermen due to 

fishery closures in the Monument (74 

FR 47119, September 15, 2009). During 

December 2009 and January 2010, 

eligible NWHI lobster permit holders 

voluntarily accepted and received 

monetary payments, as authorized by 

Congress under the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2008 (P.L. 110– 

161). Thus, no fishing for NWHI lobster 

resources is allowed.

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and 

Postponement of Final Determination 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 12, 2010. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) preliminarily determines 

that wire decking from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) is being, or is 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’), as 

provided in section 733 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). The 

estimated margins of sales at LTFV are 

shown in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’ section of this notice. 

Pursuant to requests from interested 

parties, we are postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four– 

month period to not more than six 

months. Accordingly, we will make our 

final determination not later than 135 

days after publication of the preliminary 

determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Initiation 

On June 5, 2009, the Department 

received an antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) 

petition concerning imports of wire 

decking from the PRC filed in proper 

form by AWP Industries, Inc., ITC 

Manufacturing, Inc., J&L Wire Cloth, 

Inc., and Nashville Wire Products Mfg. 

Co., Inc., (collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’). 

See the Petition for the Imposition of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duties 

Pursuant to Sections 701 and 731 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘Petition’’), filed on June 5, 2009. On 

June 22, 2009, Petitioners submitted a 

letter stating that another domestic 

producer of the like product, Wireway 

Husky Corporation, had joined the 

petition. 

The Department initiated this 

investigation on June 25, 2009.1 In the 

Initiation Notice, the Department 

notified parties of the application 

process by which exporters and 

producers may obtain separate–rate 

status in non–market economy (‘‘NME’’) 

investigations. The process requires 

exporters and producers to submit a 

separate–rate status application 

(‘‘SRA’’)2 and to demonstrate an absence 

of both de jure and de facto government 

control over its export activities. The 

SRA for this investigation was posted on 

the Department’s website http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov/ia–highlights-and– 

news.html on July 2, 2009. The due date 

for filing an SRA was August 31, 2009. 

On July 31, 2009, the International 

Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) determined 

that there is a reasonable indication that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury by reason of imports of 

wire decking from the PRC.3
