Department of Commerce June 11, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) publishes its proposed List of Fisheries (LOF) for 2010, as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The proposed LOF for 2010 reflects new information on interactions between commercial fisheries and marine mammals. NMFS must categorize each commercial fishery on the LOF into one of three categories under the MMPA based upon the level of serious injury and mortality of marine mammals that occurs incidental to each fishery. The categorization of a fishery in the LOF determines whether participants in that fishery are subject to certain provisions of the MMPA, such as registration, observer coverage, and take reduction plan requirements.

On March 9, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Certain Hot- Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products (hot-rolled steel) from Japan. See Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel Products from Japan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty, 74 FR 10019 (March 9, 2009) (Preliminary Results). The administrative review covered JFE Steel Corporation (JFE), Nippon Steel Corporation (Nippon), and Kobe Steel, Ltd. (Kobe) for the period of review (POR) June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. We provided interested parties the opportunity to comment on the preliminary results of the review. Because no interested parties provided comments on the preliminary results, we have made no changes to the dumping margins set forth in the preliminary results of this administrative review. For the margins applicable to each respondent, see the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
