Background
On November 29, 2010, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on steel wire
garment hangers from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the

questionnaire, the deadlines for Section
A was February 10, 2011, and for
Sections C & D were February 26, 2011.3
Jiaxing Boyi did not respond to the
Department’s Section A questionnaire
by the stated deadline and did not
request an extension.
On February 24, 2011, we selected an
additional mandatory respondent,
Shaoxing Liangbao Metal Manufactured
Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shaoxing Liangbao’’) as a
replacement for Jiaxing Boyi.4 Shaoxing
Liangbao’s response to Section A was
due on March 26, 2011.5 However,
Shaoxing Liangbao did not submit a
response by the stated deadline or
request an extension.
On March 28, 2011, as a replacement
for Shaoxing Liangbo, we selected
another additional mandatory
respondent, Pu Jiang County Command
Metal Products Co., Ltd. (‘‘Command
Metal Products’’).6 However, Command
Metal Products did not submit a
response, or request an extension, to the
Department’s Section A questionnaire
by the deadline, April 18, 2011.7
On April 29, 2011, we selected an
additional two mandatory respondents,

May 23, 2011, and June 8, 2011, for their
Section C and D questionnaire
responses.9 The preliminary results of
this administrative review are currently
due on July 3, 2011.
Statutory Time Limits
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to issue the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. Consistent
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department may extend the 245-day
period to 365 days if it is not practicable
to complete the review within a 245-day
period.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
The preliminary results are currently
due on July 3, 2011. This administrative
review now covers three mandatory
respondents and requires that the
Department gather and analyze a
significant amount of information
pertaining to each of these companies.
Moreover, because several previously
selected mandatory respondents were
unresponsive, the Department went
through numerous rounds of selecting
additional replacement mandatory
respondents. Thus, the Department
requires additional time to fully analyze
the initial questionnaire responses and
issue supplemental questionnaires prior
to the preliminary results. This
extension is also necessary to give all
parties to the proceeding adequate time
to supply the Department with
information related to the mandatory
respondents’ factors of production. The
current date of the preliminary results
does not afford the Department adequate
time to gather, analyze, request
supplementary information, and allow
parties to fully participate in the
proceeding.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
finds that it is not practicable to
complete the preliminary results within
the original time period and thus the
Department is extending the time limit
for issuing the preliminary results by

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The High Sea Fishing
Compliance Act (HSFCA) requires the
Secretary of Commerce, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, to publish
from time to time in the Federal
Register a list of international
conservation and management measures
recognized by the United States. To
fulfill this requirement, a list of
agreements resulting in international
conservation and management measures
was first published in the Federal
Register in 1996. This notice provides
an updated list of such agreements. The
HSFCA and its implementing
regulations prohibit the use of a fishing
vessel on the high seas in contravention
of international conservation and
management measures, as well as
specify the permitting and vessel
identification requirements for fishing
vessels of the United States operating on
the high seas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SUMMARY:
Background
The HSFCA is the United States’
domestic legislation implementing the
Agreement to Promote Compliance with
International Conservation and
Management Measures by Fishing
Vessels on the High Seas (Compliance
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:54 May 18, 2011
Jkt 223001
Agreement), adopted by the Conference
of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations on
November 24, 1993 and ratified by the
United States in 1995. One of the
purposes of the Compliance Agreement
is to impose on nations whose fishing
vessels operate on the high seas
obligations to ensure the activities of
those vessels do not undermine the
effectiveness of international
conservation and management measures
for living marine resources.
As a party to the Compliance
Agreement, the United States must
ensure that its fishing vessels operating
on the high seas do not undermine
international measures to conserve and
manage species of living marine
resources that are adopted by global,
regional, or subregional fisheries
organizations, by treaties, or by other
international agreements.
The term ‘‘international conservation
and management measures’’ is defined
in HSFCA, consistent with the
Compliance Agreement, as ‘‘measures to
conserve or manage one or more species
of living marine resources that are
adopted and applied in accordance with
the relevant rules of international law,
as reflected in the 1982 United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea, and
that are recognized by the United States.
Such measures may be adopted by
global, regional, or subregional fisheries
organizations, subject to the rights and
obligations of their members, or by
treaties or other international
agreements.’’
International conservation and
management measures fulfill a range of
purposes, such as:
• Ensuring long-term sustainability
and optimum utilization of fish stocks;
• Maintaining or restoring
populations of species belonging to the
same ecosystem or associated with or
dependent upon target stocks;
• Minimizing catch by lost or
abandoned gear and catch of non-target
species; and
• Minimizing impacts on associated
or dependent species through, to the
extent practicable, the use of selective,
environmentally safe and cost-effective
fishing gear and techniques.
In the case of international
conservation and management measures
adopted by regional fisheries
management organizations, the full text
of such measures can be found on the
Web sites of the respective
organizations. These measures are
subject to change. Measures may be
adopted or modified based on
information on stocks, bycatch, illegal
fishing activities, and other issues.
Sometimes the adoption of measures by

regional fisheries management
organizations is driven by study results
or activities undertaken through other
international bodies, such as resolutions
adopted by the United Nations General
Assembly and guidelines and plans of
action developed under the auspices of
the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations. Certain
international instruments can also
influence the development of
conservation and management measures
by regional fisheries management
organizations, such as the Agreement for
the Implementation of the Provisions of
the United Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982
Relating to the Conservation and
Management of Straddling Fish Stocks
and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks; the
Agreement on Port State Measures to
Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal,
Unreported and Unregulated Fishing;
the Inter-American Convention for the
Protection and Conservation of Sea
Turtles; the Agreement on the
Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels;
and instruments concluded under the
framework of the Convention on the
Conservation of Migratory Species of
Wild Animals.
The international conservation and
management measures adopted by
regional fisheries management
organizations of which the United States
is a member are implemented in the
United States, if applicable and as
appropriate, through domestic
legislation and corresponding
regulations.
To undertake fishing operations on
the high seas, the owner or operator of
a United States fishing vessel must
apply for a permit and follow
regulations implementing HSFCA,
found at 50 CFR part 300, subpart B.
The Secretary has statutory and
regulatory authority to include
appropriate conditions and restrictions
in individual permits. Taken together,
the requirements of the HSFCA, as
implemented by the regulations and
permit conditions and restrictions,
fulfill certain U.S. obligations and
responsibilities under the Compliance
Agreement with respect to its fishing
vessels that operate on the high seas.
For purposes of the HSFCA, the
Secretary, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, has determined that
all conservation and management
measures for living marine resources set
forth in, or adopted pursuant to, the
following international agreements are
included within the term ‘‘international
conservation and management measures
recognized by the United States.’’ For
those agreements to which the United
States is party, the term excludes
