SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The American Fisheries Act (AFA) 

was signed into law in October of 1998. 

The AFA established an allocation 

program for the pollock fishery of the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area (BSAI). The AFA 

established a limited access program for 

the inshore sector of the BSAI pollock 

fishery that is based on the formation of 

fishery cooperatives around each 

inshore pollock processor. 

Implementing regulations are found at 

50 CFR part 679, subpart F. 

The original purposes of the AFA 

were to tighten United States ownership 

standards that had been exploited under 

the Anti-reflagging Act, to provide 

Alaska’s BSAI pollock fleet the 

opportunity to conduct their fishery in 

a more rational manner, and to protect 

non-AFA participants in other fisheries. 

In addition, a voluntary civil agreement 

among pollock cooperatives, Western 

Alaska Community Development Quota 

(CDQ) groups, and western Alaska 

subsistence salmon user groups is 

intended to coordinate the pollock 

fishery in a manner that reduces 

incidental catch rates of salmon. 

Reduced bycatch, higher utilization 

rates, increased economic returns, and 

improved safety are among the direct 

benefits of the AFA. The flexibility 

provided by cooperatives and by 

individual vessel allocations of pollock 

and other species has allowed the BSAI 

pollock fleet to spread their fishing 

effort in time and space. The 

cooperative management structure has 

shifted more of the monitoring and 

enforcement burden to the cooperatives 

and their members, allowing NMFS to 

manage the fishery more precisely. The 

AFA cooperative annual reports are 

required to provide information about 

how the cooperative allocated pollock, 

other groundfish species, and prohibited 

species among the vessels in the 

cooperative; the catch of these species 

by area for each vessel in the 

cooperative; information about how the 

cooperative monitored fishing by its 

members; and a description of any 

actions taken by the cooperative to 

penalize vessels that exceeded the catch 

and bycatch allocations made to the 

vessel by the cooperative. 

II. Method of Collection 

For those items not connected with a 

scale, respondents have a choice of 

either electronic or paper forms. 

Methods of submittal include e-mail of 

electronic forms, and mail and facsimile 

transmission of paper forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 27, 2009, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

sodium hexametaphosphate from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), 

covering the period September 14, 2007 

February 28, 2009. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Request for 

Revocation in Part, 74 FR 19042 (April 

27, 2009). From May 26, 2009 to 

October 28, 2009, the respondent in this 

review, Hubei Xingfa Chemical Group 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Hubei Xingfa’’), submitted 

responses to the Department’s 

antidumping duty questionnaires. From 

November 9–13, 2009, the Department 

conducted verification of Hubei Xingfa. 

On November 25, 2009, the Department 

extended the time period for issuing the 

preliminary results of review until 

January 30, 2010. See First Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review of Sodium 

Hexametaphosphate from the People’s 

Republic of China: Extension of Time 

Limit for the Preliminary Results, 74 FR

1The petitioners are Allegheny Ludlum 

Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, United Auto 

Workers Local 3303, United Steelworkers of 

America, AFL-CIO/CLC, and Zanesville Armco 

Independent Organization. 

Extension of Time Limit for the 

Preliminary Results 

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue the 

preliminary results of an administrative 

review within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested. If it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend this deadline to a 

maximum of 365 days. 

The Department determines that 

completion of the preliminary results of 

this review within the statutory time 

period is not practicable, given the 

extraordinarily complicated nature of 

the proceeding. The Department 

requires additional time to analyze the 

information gathered at verification 

concerning Hubei Xingfa’s corporate 

structure and ownership, sales 

practices, manufacturing methods, and 

to issue the verification report. 

Therefore, given the number and 

complexity of issues in this case, and in 

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

the Act, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of review by 41 days until March 

12, 2010. The final results continue to 

be due 120 days after the publication of 

the preliminary results. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 

from Taiwan: Final Results and 

Rescission in Part of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On August 5, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel sheet and strip in coils (SSSSC) 

from Taiwan. This review covers one 

producer/exporter of the subject 

merchandise to the United States. The 

period of review (POR) is July 1, 2007, 

through June 30, 2008. We are 

rescinding the review with respect to 

two companies because these 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made no 

changes in the margin calculation. 

Therefore, the final results do not differ 

from the preliminary results. The final 

weighted–average dumping margin for 

the reviewed firm is listed below in the 

section entitled ‘‘Final Results of 

Review.’’ 

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 5, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This review covers three producers/ 

exporters: Chia Far Industrial Factory 

Co., Ltd. (Chia Far), Yieh United Steel 

Corporation (YUSCO), and Ta Chen 

Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd. (Ta Chen). Chia 

Far is the only company participating in 

this review, and we are rescinding the 

review with respect to YUSCO and Ta 

Chen. 

On August 5, 2009, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary results of administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on SSSSC from Taiwan. See Stainless 

Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from 

Taiwan: Preliminary Results and 

Preliminary Rescission in Part of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 74 FR 39055 (Aug. 5, 2009) 

(Preliminary Results). 

We invited parties to comment on our 

preliminary results of review. In 

September 2008, we received a case 

brief from the petitioners1 and a rebuttal 

brief from Ta Chen. At the request of the 

petitioners, we held a hearing on 

September 29, 2009. On November 23, 

2009, we postponed the deadline for the 

final results under section 751(a)(3)(A) 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip 

in Coils From Taiwan: Notice of 

Extension of Time Limit for the Final 

Results of the 2007–2008 Administrative 

Review, 74 FR 61107 (Nov. 23, 2009). 

The Department has conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Act. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

certain stainless steel sheet and strip in 

coils. Stainless steel is an alloy steel 

containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or 

less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more 

of chromium, with or without other 

elements. The subject sheet and strip is 

a flat–rolled product in coils that is 

greater than 9.5 mm in width and less 

than 4.75 mm in thickness, and that is 

annealed or otherwise heat treated and 

pickled or otherwise descaled. The 

subject sheet and strip may also be 

further processed (e.g., cold–rolled, 

polished, aluminized, coated, etc.) 

provided that it maintains the specific 

dimensions of sheet and strip following 

such processing. 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
