We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on July 23, 2020 (85 FR 44524), during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: Groundfish Trawl Catcher Processor Economic Data Report (EDR). OMB Control Number: 0648–0564. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 30. Average Hours per Response: Annual Trawl Catcher/Processor Economic Data Report, 22 hours. Total Annual Burden Hours: 660 hours. Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, is requesting extension of the currently approved information collection for the Annual Trawl Catcher/Processor Economic Data Report (the EDR). The EDR collects economic data on the information for the Gulf of Alaska Trawl Groundfish Economic Data Report Program (GOA Trawl EDR Program) and for Amendment 80 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area. The GOA Trawl EDR Program evaluates the economic effects of current and potential future fishery management measures for the GOA trawl fisheries. This program provides NMFS and the North Pacific Fishery PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Management Council (Council) with baseline economic information on affected harvesters, crew, processors, and communities in the GOA. Amendment 80 primarily allocates several Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries among fishing sectors, and facilitates the formation of harvesting cooperatives among vessels in the non-American Fisheries Act (non-AFA) Trawl Catcher/ Processor Cooperative Program. This program established a limited access privilege program for the non-AFA trawl catcher/processor sector. Data collected through the EDR includes labor information, revenues received, capital and operational expenses, and other operational or financial data. NMFS and the Council use this to assess the economic effects of Amendment 80 on vessels or entities regulated by the non-AFA Trawl Catcher/Processor Cooperative Program, and impacts of major changes in the groundfish management regime, including allocation of prohibited species catch species and target species to harvesting cooperatives. The EDR is submitted annually by each person who held an Amendment 80 Quota Share permit or was an owner or leaseholder of an Amendment 80 vessel, or was an owner or leaseholder of a vessel named on a License Limitation Program groundfish license with catcher/processor vessel and trawl gear designations and endorsed for the GOA during a calendar year. The EDR requirements are located at 50 CFR 679.94. Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-profit organizations. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 20, 2020, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated 
the less-than-fair value (LTFV) investigation of imports of seamless 
refined copper pipe and tube (copper pipe and tube) from the Socialist

    \1\ See Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value 
Investigation, 85 FR 47181 (August 4, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of the Preliminary Determination

    Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an 
LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce 
initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act 
permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no 
later than 190 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the 
investigation if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely request for a 
postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are 
cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and 
that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. 
Under 19 CFR

[[Page 73460]]

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 
days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination 
and must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the 
request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request.
    On November 5, 2020, the petitioner \2\ submitted a timely request 
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in this LTFV 
investigation.\3\ The petitioner stated that it requests postponement 
to provide adequate time for Commerce to analyze complex issues, to 
accommodate extensions of time provided to the respondent to complete 
the questionnaire and supplemental questionnaires, and to provide 
Commerce additional time to conduct a thorough analysis, including by 
issuing additional supplemental questionnaires.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The petitioner is the American Copper Tube Coalition, the 
members of which are Mueller Copper Tube Products, Inc.; Mueller 
Copper Tube West Co.; Mueller Copper Tube Company, Inc.; Howell 
Metal Company; and Linesets, Inc. (collectively, Mueller Group) and 
Cerro Flow Products, LLC.
    \3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and 
Tube from Vietnam: Request to Extend Preliminary Results,'' dated 
November 5, 2020.
    \4\ Id. at 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling 
reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in accordance with section 
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determination by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which this 
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its 
preliminary determination no later than January 26, 2021. In accordance 
with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 
deadline for the final determination in this investigation will 
continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination, 
unless postponed at a later date.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: November 12, 2020.
