SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

25, 2005, NMFS published a final rule 

that established a limited entry program 

for the pelagic longline fishery based in 

American Samoa, under Amendment 11 

to the Fishery Management Plan for 

Pelagic Fisheries in the Western Pacific 

Region (70 FR 29646). American Samoa 

longline limited entry permits were 

established for four vessel size classes, 

based on length: 

a. Class A - less than or equal to 40 

ft (12.2 m), 

b. Class B (and B–1) - over 40 ft (12.2 

m) to 50 ft (15.2 m) inclusive, 

c. Class C (and C–1) - over 50 ft (15.2 

m) to 70 ft (21.3 m) inclusive, and 

d. Class D (and D–1) - over 70 ft (21.3 

m). 

A total of 60 American Samoa 

longline limited entry permits is 

allowed in this limited access fishery. 

The limited entry program allowed for 

a total of 26 permit upgrades to be made 

available for the exclusive use of permit 

holders in Class A, distributed over a 

four-year period following the issuance 

of initial limited entry permits in late 

2005, and 2009 is the last year of the 

upgrade program. Nineteen permit 

upgrades are available: 13 for vessel 

Class B–1 and six for Class C–1. 

The Regional Administrator may issue 

Class B–1 and C–1 permit upgrades only 

to persons who currently hold a Class A 

permit and who participated in the 

American Samoa pelagic longline 

fishery before March 22, 2002. The 

highest priority will be given to those 

with the earliest date of documented 

participation. Those receiving upgraded 

permits must surrender their Class A 

permits and the surrendered permits are 

deducted from the allowed Class A 

permit total. This notice announces the 

availability of permit upgrades and 

solicits applications for the upgrades. 

On January 28, 2009, NMFS 

published a notice soliciting 

applications for American Samoa 

longline permits (70 FR 4942). In 

August 2009, NMFS issued permits to 

certain applicants, and the holders of 

Class A permits issued in August 2009 

may now apply for upgrades. 

Complete applications must include 

the completed and signed application 

form (see ADDRESSES), legible copies of 

documents supporting historical 

participation in the American Samoa 

pelagic longline fishery, and payment 

for the non-refundable application 

processing fee. Documents supporting 

participation should show that fishing 

was conducted using longline gear. 

Applications must be received by NMFS 

by November 9, 2009 to be considered 

for eligibility for the 2009 permit 

upgrades. Applications will not be 

accepted if received after that date. 

Authoritative additional information 

on the American Samoa limited entry 

program may be found in the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Title 50, part 665.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 2, 2009, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on hotrolled carbon steel products from India 

covering the period December 1, 2008, 

through November 30, 2008. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 74 FR 5821 (February 2, 2009). The 

preliminary results are currently due no 

later than September 2, 2009. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act further states that if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period specified, the 

administering authority may extend the 

245-day period to issue its preliminary 

results to up to 365 days. 

Due to the complexity of the issues in 

this administrative review, in particular 

the overlapping issues associated with 

the ongoing countervailing duty review 

of the same product, we have 

determined that it is not practicable to 

complete the preliminary results within 

the 245-day period. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of the review by 120 days. The 

preliminary results are now due no later 

than December 31, 2009. The final 

results continue to be due 120 days after 

publication of the preliminary results. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act. 

Dated: September 2, 2009. 

John M. Andersen, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.
