from the U.S. Department of the
Treasury to make those determinations
for larger annexations that met
prescribed criteria and for newly formed
general-purpose governmental units.
The General Revenue Sharing
Program ended on September 30, 1986,
but the certification program continued
into 1988 with support from the Census
Bureau. The program was suspended to
accommodate the taking of the 1990
decennial census and resumed in 1992.
The Census Bureau supported the
program through fiscal year 1995 for
cities with large annexations and
through fiscal year 1996 for newly
incorporated places. The program was
continued on a fee-basis only until June
1, 1998, at which time it was suspended
for the 2000 decennial census (see
Notice of Suspension, 63 FR 27706 (May
20, 1998)). At that time, it was stated
that the program would resume in three
years; however, resumption was delayed
by continuing resource demands of the
2000 decennial census. In 2002, the
program resumed and continued until
January 1, 2008, when it was suspended
to accommodate the taking of the 2010
Census (see 72 FR 46602 (Aug. 21,
2007)).
Although there is no legal
requirement that the Census Bureau
provide this service, there is a demand
by governmental units for 2010 Census
population and housing counts certified
to reflect boundary updates or the
formation of new governmental units
dated after January 1, 2010, (the legally
effective date for boundaries used in
tabulating the 2010 Census). Title 13,
United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 8,
allows the Census Bureau to continue
this program by providing certain
statistical materials (certified population
and housing counts) upon payment of
costs for the service. The Census Bureau
is the sole provider of this service,
which is based on processing individual
2010 Census enumeration records
protected by the confidentiality
restrictions of Title 13, U.S.C.
A geographically updated population
certification from the Census Bureau
confirms that an official population
count is an accurate retabulation of the
2010 Census population as configured
for the new boundaries. A population
certification may be needed for many
reasons. For example, general-purpose
governments may be required by state
law to produce a Census Bureau
population certification for funds
disbursement from their respective
states, or federally sponsored programs
may require or honor a Census Bureau
population certification for program
eligibility. Special-purpose
governmental units also may need

Jkt 229001
official certification of census
population and housing counts for other
purposes.
The Census Bureau is reinstating a
fee-based program that will use current
geographic and demographic programs
to support customer requests. The final
fee structure will reflect variations in
resources needed to meet customer
requirements for certifications of
standard governmental units, and will
be posted on the Census Bureau’s Web
site at: www.census.gov/mso/www/
certification. The fees will depend on
the extent of geographic processing
tasks required to complete the
certification request and on the urgency
of the request. There are two types of
fees, based upon whether the
population certificate is generated
through an annually scheduled
geographic update process, or is
expedited in order to meet customer
needs. Requests for certifications must
contain information on Form BC–
1869(EF), ‘‘Request for Geographically
Updated Official Population
Certification’’ (see the Census Bureau’s
Web site, www.census.gov/mso/www/
certification). Local governments may
submit requests for certifications on
Form BC–1869(EF) to the Census
Bureau by email at Clmso.Certify.List@
census.gov or via fax at (301) 763–3842.
Form BC–1869(EF) will be available on

certification. A letter or email
communication requesting the service
without Form BC–1869(EF) will be
accepted only if it contains the
information necessary to complete a
Form BC–1869(EF).
Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), Title 44, U.S.C.,

a collection of information and is not

necessary to process a certification
request. As such, it is not subject to the
PRA’s requirements.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on light-walled
rectangular pipe and tube (LWR pipe
and tube) from Mexico. The period of
review (POR) is August 1, 2011, through
July 31, 2012. The review covers three
producers or exporters of subject
merchandise, Regiomontana de Perfiles
y Tubos S.A. de C.V. (Regiopytsa),
Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero),
and Nacional de Acero S.A. de C.V.
(NASA). For these preliminary results,
we have found that Regiopytsa has sold
subject merchandise at less than normal
value during the POR and that
Maquilacero has not sold subject
merchandise at less than normal value
during the POR. For NASA, we are
rescinding this administrative review.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.

Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
On August 31, 2012, NASA requested
that the Department conduct a review of
its exports of subject merchandise to the
United States, and on November 1,
2012, NASA timely withdrew this
request. NASA was the only interested
party to request an administrative
review of its exports of subject
merchandise. Therefore, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are
rescinding this administrative review
with respect to NASA.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
of 1972 (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.)
prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of marine mammals
unless otherwise authorized or
exempted by law. Among the provisions
that allow for lawful take of marine
mammals, sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D)
of the MMPA direct the Secretary of
Commerce to allow, upon request, the
incidental, but not intentional, taking of
small numbers of marine mammals by
U.S. citizens who engage in a specified
activity (other than commercial fishing),
within a specified geographical region
if, after notice of a proposed
authorization to the public for review
and public comment: (1) We make
certain findings; and (2) the taking is
limited to harassment.
We (National Marine Fisheries
Service) shall grant authorization for the
incidental taking of small numbers of
marine mammals if we find that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s), and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses (where relevant). The
authorization must set forth the
permissible methods of taking; other
means of effecting the least practicable
adverse impact on the species or stock
and its habitat; and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such taking. We have
defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR
216.103 as ‘‘. . . an impact resulting
from the specified activity that cannot
be reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’

Issuance of an incidental take
authorization (Authorization) under
section 101(a)(5)(A) or 101(a)(5)(D) of
the MMPA requires three sets of
information collection: (1) A complete
application for an Authorization, as set
forth in our implementing regulations at
50 CFR 216.104, which provides the
information necessary for us to make the
necessary statutory determinations; (2)
information relating to required
monitoring; and (3) information related
to required reporting. These collections
of information enable us to: (1) Evaluate
the proposed activity’s impact on
marine mammals; (2) arrive at the
appropriate determinations required by
the MMPA and other applicable laws
prior to issuing the authorization; and
(3) monitor impacts of activities for
which we have issued Authorizations to
determine if our predictions regarding
impacts on marine mammals remain
valid.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on light-walled
rectangular pipe and tube (LWR pipe and tube) from Mexico. The period
of review (POR) is August 1, 2011, through July 31, 2012. The review
covers three producers or exporters of subject merchandise,
Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos S.A. de C.V. (Regiopytsa), Maquilacero
S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero), and Nacional de Acero S.A. de C.V. (NASA).
For these preliminary results, we have found that Regiopytsa has sold
subject merchandise at less than normal value during the POR and that
Maquilacero has not sold subject merchandise at less than normal value
during the POR. For NASA, we are rescinding this administrative review.
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: September 6, 2013.

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
On August 31, 2012, NASA requested that the Department conduct a
review of its exports of subject merchandise to the United States, and
on November 1, 2012, NASA timely withdrew this request. NASA was the
only interested party to request an administrative review of its
exports of subject merchandise. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review with
respect to NASA.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If either respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined
sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).\7\ Where either the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
weighted-average dumping margin calculation method adopted in
Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping
Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings;
Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\8\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that were produced by the companies included
in these preliminary results of review and for which the reviewed
companies did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-
reviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP on or after 41 days following the
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective, upon
completion of the final results of this administrative review, for all
shipments of LWR pipe and tube from Mexico entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the companies covered by this
review (i.e., Maquilacero and Regiopytsa) will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of
this review, except if the rate is de minimis, in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero percent; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate established for
the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or
the less-than-fair-value investigation but the manufacturer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the
manufacturer of the merchandise for the most recently completed segment
of this
[[Page 54866]]
proceeding; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a
firm covered in this or any previously completed segment of this
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the all-others rate of
3.76 percent, as established in the less-than-fair value
investigation.\9\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: August 30, 2013.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
