SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

On October 20, 2009, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

initiated the antidumping investigations 

of Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and 

Tube from the People’s Republic of 

China and Mexico. See Seamless 

Refined Copper Pipe and Tube from the 

People’s Republic of China and Mexico: 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigations, 74 FR 42852 (October 27, 

2009). 

The notice of initiation stated that 

unless postponed the Department would 

issue the preliminary determinations for 

these investigations no later than 140 

days after the date of initiation, in 

accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’). The preliminary determinations 

were originally due no later than March 

9, 2010. After being tolled for seven 

days, the preliminary determinations 

are currently due no later than March 

16, 2010. See Memorandum For The 

Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for 

Import Administration, titled ‘‘Tolling of 

Administrative Deadlines As a Result of 

the Government Closure During the 

Recent Snowstorm,’’ dated February 12, 

2010. 

On February 12, 2010, Cerro Flow 

Products, Inc., KobeWieland Copper 

Products, LLC, Mueller Copper Tube 

Products, Inc., and Mueller Copper 

Tube Company, Inc. (collectively, 

‘‘Petitioners’’), made a timely request 

pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a 50-day 

postponement of the preliminary 

determinations. The petitioners 

requested postponement of the 

preliminary determinations in order to 

ensure that the Department has 

adequate time to conduct a complete 

and thorough investigation of 

respondents in these proceedings. 

Because there are no compelling 

reasons to deny the request, the 

Department is postponing the deadline 

for the preliminary determinations 

pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 

Act to May 5, 2010, the 190th day from 

the date of initiation, when adjusted for 

the seven days referenced above. The 

deadline for the final determinations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of the preliminary determinations, 

unless postponed. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1). 

Dated: February 18, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA (16 

U.S.C. 1371 (a)(5)(D)) directs the 

Secretary of Commerce to authorize, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals of a species or stock, 

for periods of not more than one year, 

by United States citizens who engage in 

a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed 

authorization is provided to the public 

for review. 

Authorization for incidental taking of 

small numbers of marine mammals shall 

be granted if NMFS finds that the taking 

will have a negligible impact on the 

species or stock(s), and will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses. The authorization 

must set forth the permissible methods 

of taking, other means of effecting the 

least practicable adverse impact on the 

species or stock and its habitat, and 

monitoring and reporting of such 

takings. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as ‘‘an 

impact resulting from the specified 

activity that cannot be reasonably 

expected to, and is not reasonably likely 

to, adversely affect the species or stock 

through effects on annual rates of 

recruitment or survival.’’
