Determinations
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigations, the United
States International Trade Commission
(Commission) determines, pursuant to
section 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)) (the Act), that there
is a reasonable indication that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
from China and the United Arab
Emirates of certain steel nails, provided
for in subheadings 7317.00.55,
7317.00.65, and 7317.00.75 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, that are alleged to be sold

Commencement of Final Phase
Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the
Commission’s rules, the Commission
also gives notice of the commencement
of the final phase of its investigations.
The Commission will issue a final phase
notice of scheduling, which will be
published in the Federal Register as
provided in section 207.21 of the
Commission’s rules, upon notice from
the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations
under section 733(b) of the Act, or, if the
preliminary determinations are
negative, upon notice of affirmative
final determinations in the
investigations under section 735(a) of
the Act. Parties that filed entries of
appearance in the preliminary phase of
the investigations need not enter a
separate appearance for the final phase
of the investigations. Industrial users,
and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level,
representative consumer organizations
have the right to appear as parties in
Commission antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations. The
Secretary will prepare a public service
list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives,
who are parties to the investigations.
Background
On May 29, 2007, a petition was filed
with the Commission and Commerce by
Davis Wire Corp. (Irwindale, CA),
Gerdau Ameristeel Corp. (Tampa, FL),
Maze Nails (Peru, IL), Mid-Continent
Nail Corp. (Poplar Bluff, MO), and
Treasure Coast Fasteners, Inc. (Fort
Pierce, FL), alleging that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
or threatened with material injury by
reason of LTFV imports of certain steel
nails from China and the United Arab
Emirates. Accordingly, effective May 29,
2007, the Commission instituted
antidumping duty investigation Nos.
731–TA–1114 and 1115 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the
Commission’s investigations and of a
public conference to be held in
connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office
of the Secretary, U.S. International
Trade Commission, Washington, DC,
and by publishing the notice in the
Federal Register of June 4, 2007 (72 FR
30831). The conference was held in
Washington, DC, on June 19, 2007, and
all persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.

the Secretary of Commerce on July 30,
2007. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 3939

Regulations. This is the required notice
of permit applications received.
DATES: Interested parties are invited to
submit written data, comments, or
views with respect to this permit
application by September 5, 2007. This
application may be inspected by
interested parties at the Permit Office,
address below.

directed by the Antarctic Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996,
has developed regulations for the
establishment of a permit system for
various activities in Antarctica and
designation of certain animals and
certain geographic areas requiring
special protection. The regulations
establish such a permit system to

Permit Application No.: 2008–007.
1. Applicant: Sam Feola, Director,
Raytheon Polar Services Company, 7400
S. Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Enter an Antarctic Specially
Protected Area (ASPA). The applicant
plans to enter the Cape Hallett (ASPA
106), Cape Royds (ASPA 121), Barwick

Crozer (ASPA 124), Northwest White
Island (ASPA 137), and, Linnaeus
Terrace (ASPA 138) to: Gather up-todate information on site status and on
any installations or facilities; verify that
the values being protected are being
maintained; verify that the management
measures in place are sufficient to
provide protection; and recommend any
management measures that may be
necessary to maintain the values being
protected. Article 6.3 of Annex V to the
Madrid Protocol requires ‘‘A review of
a (ASPA) Management Plan shall be
initiated at least every five years.’’
Updating of the ASPA management plan
is the responsibility of the country that
originally proposed the site, as in this
case, the United States.
Location: Cape Hallett (ASPA 106),
Cape Royds (ASPA 121), Barwick and
Balham Valleys (ASPA 123), Cape
Crozer (ASPA 124), Northwest White
Island (ASPA 137), and, Linnaeus

females and will provide information on
female choice and degree of site fidelity
in breeding. Finally, the applicant
would like to annually salvage up to 3
adult females and five pups of Antarctic
Fur seals due to accidental mortality.

Angeles, CA 90089.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: Introduce non-indigenous
species into Antarctica. The applicant
proposes to bring genetically engineered
E. coli cells for the creation of gene
clone libraries. The cells are provided as
part of the cloning kits to be used in
experiments onboard the R/V Nathaniel

Tissues and blood collections are
needed for quantification of the amount
of antifreeze glycoprotein that is
circulated in their circulatory space.
Spleen and liver tissues are also needed
for isolating genomic DNS and
messenger RNA to investigate the size
and organization of the antifreeze
