On November 17, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published its notice of preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and affirmative preliminary determination of critical circumstances in the antidumping investigation of certain oil country tubular goods (``OCTG'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The period of investigation (``POI'') is October 1, 2008, through March 31, 2009. We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary determination of sales LTFV and the post-preliminary memoranda. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to our calculations for the mandatory respondents. We determine that OCTG from the PRC are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at LTFV as provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The estimated margins of sales at LTFV are shown in the ``Final Determination Margins'' section of this notice.

See Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico: Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 20919 (May 6, 2009).

(Mueller) as mandatory respondents for the period November 1, 2007, to October 31, 2008. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made no changes from the Preliminary Results.

On April 13, 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (``FDIC'') Board of Directors (``Board'') adopted revised Guidelines for Appeals of Material Supervisory Determinations (``SARC Guidelines''). The SARC Guidelines govern the Supervision Appeals Review Committee (``SARC'') process and supersede the FDIC's prior SARC Guidelines, which were adopted by the FDIC's Board of Directors on September 16, 2008. In addition, on April 13, 2010, the Board also adopted revised Guidelines for Appeals of Deposit Insurance Assessment Determinations (``AAC Guidelines''), which govern the Assessment Appeals Committee (``AAC'') process and supersede the FDIC's prior AAC Guidelines, which were adopted on June 28, 2004. The SARC Guidelines have been amended to extend the decision deadline for requests for review and to clarify the decisional deadline for written decisions by the SARC. Also, both the SARC Guidelines and the AAC Guidelines have been amended to make additional, limited technical clarifying and conforming amendments. Both sets of revised guidelines are effective upon adoption.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations that describe the categories of actions which do not require an environmental review under the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as the NRC has determined that such actions do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. The amended regulations eliminate the need for the preparation of environmental assessments for NRC actions that are minor, administrative, or procedural in nature. The amendments do not change any requirements for licensees, but may provide for more time for NRC action on more substantial issues and/or speed up the process for review of the amendments.

The FDIC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on the survey collection instrument for its second National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households (``Household Survey''), currently approved under OMB Control No. 3064- 0167, scheduled to be conducted in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau as a supplement to its June 2011 Current Population Survey (``CPS''). The collection is a key component of the FDIC's efforts to comply with a Congressional mandate contained in section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (``Reform Act'') (Pub. L. 109-173), which calls for the FDIC to conduct ongoing surveys ``on efforts by insured depository institutions to bring those individuals and families who have rarely, if ever, held a checking account, a savings account or other type of transaction or check cashing account at an insured depository institution (hereafter in this section referred to as the `unbanked') into the conventional finance system.'' Section 7 further instructs the FDIC to consider several factors in its conduct of the surveys, including: (1) ``What cultural, language and identification issues as well as transaction costs appear to most prevent `unbanked' individuals from establishing conventional accounts''; and (2) ``what is a fair estimate of the size and worth of the `unbanked' market in the United States.'' The

The FDIC is issuing this Interim Rule to amend the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) component of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) by providing an 6-month extension of the TAG program for insured depository institutions (IDIs) currently participating in the TAG program, with the possibility of an additional 12-month extension of the program without further rulemaking, upon a determination by the FDIC's Board of Directors (Board) that continuing economic difficulties warrant a continued extension. By virtue of this Interim Rule, the TAG program will be extended through December 31, 2010, with the possibility of an additional 12-month extension through December 31, 2011. In addition, while the Interim Rule presents no changes in the amount of the assessment for an IDI's continued participation in the TAG, it modifies the assessment basis for calculating the current risk- based assessments to one based on average daily balances in the TAG- related accounts. Further, the Interim Rule requires IDIs participating in the TAG program that offer NOW accounts covered by the program to reduce the interest rate on such accounts to a rate no higher than 0.25 percent and to commit to maintain that rate for the duration of the TAG extension in order for those NOW accounts to remain eligible for the FDIC's continued guarantee.
