As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce (Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from the People's Republic of China (PRC), Malaysia, and Thailand would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty orders.
Magnesium Metal From the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders
Document Number: 2010-16508
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-07-07
Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
On March 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on magnesium metal from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') and the Russian Federation (``Russia''), pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). On March 16, 2010, US Magnesium LLS, the petitioner in the magnesium metal investigation, notified the Department that it intended to participate in the PRC and Russia sunset reviews. The Department did not receive a substantive response from any respondent party in either review. Based on the notices of intent to participate and adequate responses filed by the domestic interested party, and the lack of response from any respondent interested party, the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of the orders pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department finds that revocation of the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results of Sunset Reviews'' section of this notice, infra.

Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Black Sea Bass Fishery; 2010 Black Sea Bass Specifications; Emergency Rule Extension
Document Number: 2010-16498
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-07
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS is extending the emergency action to increase the 2010 black sea bass specifications (i.e., commercial fishing quota, recreational harvest limit, and research set-aside (RSA) quota) implemented on February 10, 2010, for the remainder of the 2010 fishing year, which ends on December 31, 2010. This emergency rule extension is necessary to ensure that the revised specifications remain in place for the remainder of the 2010 fishing year. Extending the increase to the 2010 black sea bass total allowable landings (TAL) will prevent disruption to the black sea bass fisheries and foregone economic opportunities that would result if the emergency action is allowed to lapse.
