practicable, the reliability and relevance
of the information used.
As fully explained in the Facts
Available Memorandum, the
Department finds the rate of 48.33
percent to be reliable and relevant for
use as AFA. As such, the Department
finds this rate to be corroborated to the
extent practicable consistent with
section 776(c) of Act. We have,
therefore, selected the rate of 48.33
percent to apply as an AFA rate to
Mueller and Ternium and consider it to
be sufficiently high so as to encourage
participation in future segments of this
proceeding. See Facts Available
Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
preliminarily determine the following
weighted–average dumping margins
exist for the period November 1, 2007,
through October 31, 2008:
We intend to issue the final results of
this administrative review, including
the results of our analysis of issues in
any such case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and
written comments or at a hearing,
within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal
Register.
Assessment
The Department shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. Because we are
relying on total AFA to establish
Mueller’s and Ternium’s dumping
margin, we will instruct CBP to apply a
dumping margin of 48.33 percent ad
valorem to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that was
produced and/or exported by Mueller
and Ternium. The Department intends
to issue instructions to CBP 41 days
after the publication of the final results
of review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Advisory Committees is reopening
the application period for the Board’s
current two-year charter term to expire
September 20, 2011. Although the
Department has received many
applications and is still considering all
applications received to date (including
any applications received after the prior
deadline but before issuance of this
notice), the Department is seeking a
broader applicant pool more
representative of the U.S. travel and
tourism industry as a whole. By
reopening and extending the application
period, the Department also hopes to
have a broader applicant pool to reflect
the full diversity of the travel and
tourism industry in terms of ownership
demographics, geographic locations,
and company size of the entities to be
represented. The criteria and procedures
for selecting members contained in the
July 24, 2009 notice continue to apply
and are republished herein for
convenience. Additionally, the
applicant is required to provide an
affirmative statement that the applicant
is not a federally-registered lobbyist,
and that the applicant understands that
the applicant, if appointed, will not be
allowed to continue to serve as a Board
member if the applicant becomes a
federally-registered lobbyist. Pending
applicants remain under consideration
and do not need to resubmit their
applications.
Members will be appointed for a term
to expire with the Board’s current
charter on September 20, 2011.
Members will be selected, in accordance
with applicable Department of
Commerce guidelines, based on their
ability to advise the Secretary of
Commerce on matters relating to the
U.S. travel and tourism industries, to act
as a liaison among the stakeholders
represented by the membership and to
provide a forum for those stakeholders
on current and emerging issues in the
travel and tourism industry. Members of
the Board shall be selected in a manner
that ensures that the Board is balanced
in terms of points of view, industry
sector or subsector, range of products
and services, demographics, geographic
locations, and company size. Additional
factors which may be considered in the

indirectly, by non-U.S. citizens or nonU.S. entities. For the purposes of
eligibility, a U.S. organization shall be
defined as an organization, including a

body, established under the laws of the
United States that is controlled by U.S.
citizens or by another U.S. organization
or entity, as determined based on board
of directors (or comparable governing
body), membership, and revenue
sources.
Priority may be given to a Chief
Executive Officer or President (or

travel and tourism sector. Priority may
also be given to individuals with
international tourism marketing
experience.
Officers or employees of state and
regional tourism marketing entities are
eligible for consideration for Board
membership as representatives of U.S.
organizations. A state and regional
tourism marketing entity may include,
but is not limited to, state government

government supported tourism
marketing entities, or multi-state
tourism marketing entities. Again,
priority may be given to a Chief
Executive Officer or President (or
comparable level of responsibility) of a
state and regional tourism marketing
entity.
Members will serve at the discretion
of the Secretary of Commerce. Board
members shall serve in a representative
capacity, representing the views and
interests of their particular business
sector or subsector. Board members are
not special government employees and
will receive no compensation for their
participation in Board activities.
