Background
On November 1, 2005, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published
a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain hot–
rolled carbon steel flat products from
the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
for the period November 1, 2004,
through October 31, 2005. Antidumping

Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 70 FR 65883 (November 1,

Corporation, a domestic producer of
certain hot–rolled carbon steel flat
products, requested that the Department
conduct an administrative review of
Angang Group International Trade
Corporation, Angang Group Hong Kong
Co., Ltd., New Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.

(‘‘collectively Angang’’); and Shanghai
Baosteel Group Corporation, Baoshan
Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Baosteel
Group International Trade Corporation
(collectively ‘‘Baosteel’’). On December
22, 2005, the Department published a
notice of initiation of an antidumping
duty administrative review on certain
hot–rolled carbon steel flat products
from the PRC. Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part (‘‘Notice of Initiation’’), 70 FR
76024 (December 22, 2005). On May 3,
2006, we preliminarily rescinded this
review based on evidence on the record
indicating that there were no entries
into the United States of subject
merchandise during the period of
review (‘‘POR’’) by the named firms. See
Preliminary Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review: Certain
Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products
From the People’s Republic of China, 71
FR 26040 (May 3, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary
Rescission’’). We invited interested
parties to submit comments on our
Preliminary Rescission. We did not
receive any comments on our
Preliminary Rescission. The POR is
November 1, 2004 through October 31,
2005.
Scope of the Review
For purposes of this review, the
products covered are certain hot–rolled
carbon steel flat products of a
rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5 inch
or greater, neither clad, plated, nor
coated with metal and whether or not
painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non–metallic
substances, in coils (whether or not in
successively superimposed layers),
regardless of thickness, and in straight
lengths of a thickness of less than 4.75
mm and of a width measuring at least
10 times the thickness. Universal mill
plate (i.e., flat–rolled products rolled on
four faces or in a closed box pass, of a
width exceeding 150 mm, but not
exceeding 1250 mm, and of a thickness
of not less than 4.0 mm, not in coils and
without patterns in relief) of a thickness
not less than 4.0 mm is not included
within the scope of this review.
Specifically included within the
scope of this review are vacuum

degassed, fully stabilized (commonly
referred to as interstitial–free (IF)) steels,
high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels,
and the substrate for motor lamination
steels. IF steels are recognized as low
carbon steels with micro–alloying levels
of elements such as titanium or niobium
(also commonly referred to as
columbium), or both, added to stabilize
carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA
steels are recognized as steels with
micro–alloying levels of elements such
as chromium, copper, niobium,
vanadium, and molybdenum. The
substrate for motor lamination steels
contains micro–alloying levels of
elements such as silicon and aluminum.
Steel products to be included in the
scope of this review, regardless of
definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),
are products in which: (i) Iron
predominates, by weight, over each of
the other contained elements; (ii) the
carbon content is 2 percent or less, by
weight; and, iii) none of the elements
listed below exceeds the quantity, by
weight, respectively indicated:
1.80 percent of manganese, or
2.25 percent of silicon, or
1.00 percent of copper, or
0.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or
1.25 percent of nickel, or
0.30 percent of tungsten, or
0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or
0.15 percent of zirconium.
All products that meet the physical
and chemical description provided
above are within the scope of this
review unless otherwise excluded. The
following products, by way of example,
are outside or specifically excluded
from the scope of this review:

Amendment 9, developed by the

Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (MagnusonStevens Act). This notice announces
that the amendment is available for
public review and comment for 60 days.
NMFS will consider public comments
received during the comment period in
determining whether to approve,
partially approve, or disapprove FMP
Amendment 9.
The bottomfish fishery operating in
Federal waters around Guam is
managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for Bottomfish and
Seamount Groundfish Fisheries of the
Western Pacific Region (FMP), but aside
from restrictions on the use of certain
destructive fishing methods that apply
to the bottomfish fisheries throughout
the western Pacific, the Guam fishery is
mostly unregulated at this time.
Potential developments in the fishery,
however, led the WPFMC to prepare
FMP Amendment 9.
The Guam-based small-boat
bottomfish fishery is a mix of
subsistence, recreational, and limited
commercial fishing, particularly in the
summer months when weather
conditions are calm. There are currently
three primary sources of fisheriesSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SUMMARY: Amendment 9 to the Fishery
Management Plan for Bottomfish and
Seamount Groundfish Fisheries of the
Western Pacific Region (FMP
Amendment 9) would prohibit large
vessels, i.e., those 50 ft (15.2 m) or
longer, from fishing for bottomfish in
Federal waters within 50 nm (92.6 km)
around Guam, and would establish
Federal permitting and reporting
requirements for these large bottomfish
fishing vessels. The amendment is
intended to maintain viable bottomfish
catch rates by small vessels in the
fishery, to sustain participation by
smaller vessels in the fishery, to
maintain traditional patterns of the
bottomfish supply to local Guam
markets, and to provide for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat
products from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period

steel flat products from the PRC. Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation
in Part (``Notice of Initiation''), 70 FR 76024 (December 22, 2005). On
May 3, 2006, we preliminarily rescinded this review based on evidence
on the record indicating that there were no entries into the United
States of subject merchandise during the period of review (``POR'') by
the named firms. See Preliminary Rescission of Antidumping Duty

Scope of the Review
For purposes of this review, the products covered are certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products of a rectangular shape, of a width of
