Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are circular welded non–alloy steel
pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters
(16 inches) in outside diameter,
regardless of wall thickness, surface
finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or
end finish (plain end, beveled end,
threaded, or threaded and coupled).
These pipes and tubes are generally
known as standard pipes and tubes and
are intended for the low–pressure
conveyance of water, steam, natural gas,
and other liquids and gases in plumbing
and heating systems, air conditioning
units, automatic sprinkler systems, and
other related uses, and generally meet
ASTM A–53 specifications.
Standard pipes and tubes may also be
used for light load–bearing applications,
such as for fence tubing, and as
structural pipe tubing used for framing
and support members for reconstruction
or load–bearing purposes in the
construction, shipbuilding, trucking,
farm equipment, and related industries.
Unfinished conduit pipe is also
included in this order. All carbon steel
pipes and tubes within the physical
description outlined above are included
within the scope of this order, except
line pipe, oil country tubular goods,
boiler tubing, mechanical tubing, pipe
and tube hollows for redraws, finished

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
Section 204(e)(1)(A)of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), the Secretary of State, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) and in
consultation with the Council, may
negotiate and enter into a Pacific Insular
Area fishery agreement (PIAFA) to allow
foreign fishing within waters of the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
adjacent to American Samoa, Guam, or
the Northern Mariana Islands, and at the
request and with the concurrence of,
and in consultation with, the Governor
of the Pacific Insular Area to which the
PIAFA applies. Section 204(e)(4) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that
prior to entering into a PIAFA, the
appropriate Governor and the Council
shall develop a three-year MCP detailing
the uses for any funds collected by the
Secretary under the PIAFA.
Any payments received under a
PIAFA shall be deposited into the
United States Treasury and then
covered over to the Treasury of the

Pacific Insular Area for which funds
were collected. In the case of violations
by foreign fishing vessels occurring
within the EEZ off any Pacific Insular
Area, any amount received by the
Secretary which is attributable to fines
and penalties imposed under the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, including such
sums collected from the forfeiture and
disposition or sale of property seized
subject to its authority, after payment of
direct costs of the enforcement action to
all entities involved in such action,
shall be deposited into the Treasury of
the Pacific Insular Area adjacent to the
EEZ in which the violation occurred, to
be used for fisheries enforcement and
for implementation of an MCP. The
MCP to be approved by the Secretary
must be consistent with the Council’s
fishery management plans, identify
conservation and management
objectives (including criteria for
determining when such objectives have
been met), and prioritize planned
marine conservation projects.
At its 144th meeting in March 2009,
the Council reviewed and approved the
MCP for American Samoa and
recommended its submission to the
Secretary for approval. NMFS, designee
of the Secretary, received the MCP on
June 22, 2009.
The American Samoa MCP contains
seven broad conservation and
management objectives that are
consistent with the Council’s fishery
management plans. The MCP also
identifies 37 individual projects that
would be funded under a PIAFA. The
objectives and projects are listed below,
in priority order:
• Objective 1: Promote responsible
domestic fisheries development to
provide long term economic growth and
stability and local food production.
1. Construct dock for commercial
fishing vessels;
2. Construct cold storage and fish
processing facilities;
3. Purchase ice making equipment to
support local and export markets;
4. Develop fish marketing plan;
5. Longline permit, reporting and
quota utilization program;
6. Fish handling and HACCP training;
7. Develop American Samoa
Fishermen’s Cooperative;
8. Deploy fish aggregation devices for
non-LL vessels;
9. Upgrade technology for AS
bottomfish fleet; and
10. Promote American Samoa as a
sport fishing destination through
tournaments.
• Objective 2: Support quality
research and obtain the most complete
scientific information available to assess
and manage fisheries.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 3, 2008, Ternium requested that the Department conduct
a changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on
standard pipe and tube from Mexico to determine whether Ternium is the
successor-in-interest to Hylsa and should be treated as such for
antidumping duty cash deposit purposes. See Notice of Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Circular Welded Non-
Alloy Steel Pipe and Tube, 73 FR 63682 (October 27, 2008) (Notice of
Initiation). On June 18, 2009, the Department made its preliminary
determination that Ternium is the successor-in-interest to Hylsa and

See Preliminary Results.
On July 14, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register
a notice extending the time limit for these final results to August 17,
2009. See Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe and Tube from Mexico;

In the Preliminary Results, we stated that interested parties could
request a hearing no later than 30 days after the publication of the
Preliminary Results, submit case briefs to the Department no later than
