Final Determination of No Shipments
Prior to the issuance of the
questionnaire, Conduit reported that it
made no sales of subject merchandise
during the POR.10 On May 8, 2019, we
placed the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) port inquiry
instructions on the record that we sent
to CBP regarding each company that
submitted a statement of no shipments.
We received no information from CBP
contrary to the statements of no
shipments from the companies
contained in the attachments to the CBP
Information Memorandum.11
On June 28, 2019, we received a
certification of no shipments of subject
merchandise from Mueller, which
contained documentation in support of
its contention that it had no prior
knowledge of the entry of products it
had sold into the United States.12 Based
on this evidence, we preliminarily
determined that Mueller made no
shipments of subject merchandise into
the United States during the POR.13
On July 8, 2019, we received a
certification of no shipments of subject
merchandise from Conduit and RYMCO
which contained documentation
supporting their contentions that they
had no prior knowledge of subject
merchandise exported to the United
States during the POR, and that the
products listed in the CBP data were not
subject merchandise.14 Based on this
evidence, we preliminarily determined
that Conduit and RYMCO made no
shipments of subject merchandise into
the United States during the POR.15
For the reasons explained in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, we
continue to determine for these final
results that Conduit, Mueller, and
RYMCO made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.
Assessment
Commerce shall determine and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Because Commerce

determined that Conduit, Mueller, and
RYMCO had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under those companies’
case numbers (i.e., at those companies’
rates) will be liquidated at the all-others
rate effective during the POR, consistent
with Commerce’s practice.16 We intend
to issue assessment instructions directly
to CBP 41 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
for estimated antidumping duties will
be effective upon publication of the
notice of these final results of review for
all shipments of circular welded nonalloy steel pipe from Mexico entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for Conduit, Mueller, and RYMCO
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recent period; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 32.62 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.17 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.

I. Abstract
The Office of Science and Technology
is sponsoring this collection, which
consists of economic surveys that will
be conducted in selected commercial
fisheries for the West Coast, the
Southeast, Hawaii, and the U.S. Pacific
Islands territories.
The requested information will
include different components of
operating costs/expenditures, earnings,
employment, ownership, vessel
characteristics, effort/gear descriptors,
employment, and demographic
information for the various types of
fishing vessels operating in the 15 U.S.
commercial fisheries listed below.
1. West Coast Limited Entry Groundfish
Fixed Gear Fishery
2. West Coast Open Access Groundfish,
Non-tribal Salmon, Crab, and
Shrimp Fisheries
3. American Samoa Longline Fishery
4. Hawaii Longline Fishery
5. Hawaii Small Boat Fishery
6. American Samoa Small Boat Fishery
7. American Samoa (ESAS), Guam, and
The Commonwealth of The
Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)

A variety of laws, Executive Orders
(EOs), and NOAA Fisheries strategies
and policies include requirements for
economic data and the analyses they
support. When met adequately, those
requirements allow better-informed
conservation and management decisions
on the use of living marine resources
and marine habitat in federally managed
fisheries. Obtaining these data improves
the ability of NOAA Fisheries and the
Regional Fishery Management Councils
(Councils) to monitor, explain and
predict changes in the economic
performance and impacts of federally
managed commercial fisheries.
Measures of economic performance
include costs, earnings, and profitability
(net revenue); productivity and
economic efficiency; capacity; economic
stability; the level and distribution of
net economic benefits to society; and
market power. The economic impacts
include sector, community or regionspecific, and national employment,
sales, value-added, and income impacts.
Economic data are required to support
more than a cursory effort to comply
with or support the following laws, EOs,
and NOAA Fisheries strategies and
policies:
1. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA)
2. The Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA)
3. The Endangered Species Act (ESA)
4. The National Environmental Policy

Data collections will focus each year
on a different set of the 15 commercial
fisheries. This cycle of data collection
will facilitate economic data being
available and updated for all those
commercial fisheries.
There will be an effort to coordinate
the data collections in order to reduce
the additional burden for those who
participate in multiple fisheries. To
further reduce the burden, the requested
information for a specific fishery will be
limited to that which is not available
from other sources. Participation in
these data collections will be voluntary.
The proposed revisions to the
information collection will: (a) Change
the title of the currently approved
information collection from ‘‘West Coast
Limited Entry Groundfish Fixed Gear
Economic Data Collection’’ to
‘‘Economic Surveys of Specific U.S.
Commercial Fisheries’’; (b) expand it to
include an additional 14 fisheries, for
which information had been collected
under other previously approved
information collections; (c) extend it for
three years; and (d) increase the burden
hours to the sum of the burden hours for
the 15 information collections.
II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected by
mail, internet, phone, and in-person
interviews. In general, respondents will
receive a mailed copy of the survey
instrument in advance of a phone or inperson interview. Where feasible,
survey respondents will have the option
to respond to an on-line survey. If
phone and in-person interviews are not
feasible or not desired by the potential
respondents, the information will be
collected by mail or internet.

AGENCY:

This announcement provides
notice that the Department of Commerce
(Department) has stayed, for a period of
14 days, closure of the decision record
in an administrative appeal filed by
filed by WesternGeco (Appellant) under
the Coastal Zone Management Act
requesting that the Secretary override an
objection by the South Carolina
Department of Health and
Environmental Control to a consistency
certification for a proposed project to
conduct a marine Geological and
Geophysical seismic survey in the
Atlantic Ocean.
DATES: The decision record for
WesternGeco’s Federal Consistency
Appeal of South Carolina’s objection
will now close on April 27, 2020.

to publicly available materials and
related documents comprising the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 20, 2019, the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) received a
‘‘Notice of Appeal’’ filed by
WesternGeco pursuant to the Coastal
Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA),
16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., and
implementing regulations found at 15
CFR part 930, subpart H. The ‘‘Notice of
Appeal’’ is taken from an objection by
the South Carolina Department of
Health and Environmental Control to a
consistency certification for a proposed
SUMMARY:

project to conduct a marine Geological
and Geophysical seismic survey in the
Atlantic Ocean. This matter constitutes
an appeal of an ‘‘energy project’’ within
the meaning of the CZMA regulations,
see 15 CFR 930.123(c).
Under the CZMA, the Secretary may
override South Carolina’s objection on
grounds that the project is consistent
with the objectives or purposes of the
CZMA, or is necessary in the interest of
national security. To make the
determination that the proposed activity
is ‘‘consistent with the objectives or
purposes of the CZMA,’’ the Department
must find that: (1) The proposed activity
furthers the national interest as
articulated in sections 302 or 303 of the
CZMA, in a significant or substantial
manner; (2) the national interest
furthered by the proposed activity
outweighs the activity’s adverse coastal
effects, when those effects are
considered separately or cumulatively;
and (3) no reasonable alternative is
available that would permit the
proposed activity to be conducted in a
manner consistent with the enforceable
policies of the applicable coastal
management program. 15 CFR 930.121.
To make the determination that the
proposed activity is ‘‘necessary in the
interest of national security,’’ the
Secretary must find that a national
defense or other national security
interest would be significantly impaired
if the proposed activity is not permitted
to go forward as proposed. 15 CFR
930.122.
The Secretary must close the decision
record in a federal consistency appeal
160 days after the Notice of Appeal is
published in the Federal Register. 15
CFR 930.130(a)(1). However, the CZMA
authorizes the Secretary to stay closing
the decision record for up to 60 days
when the Secretary determines it
necessary to receive, on an expedited
basis, any supplemental information
specifically requested by the Secretary
to complete a consistency review or any
clarifying information submitted by a
party to the proceeding related to
information in the consolidated record
compiled by the lead Federal permitting
agency. 15 CFR 930.130(a)(2), (3).
After reviewing the decision record
developed to date, the Secretary has
decided to solicit supplemental and
clarifying information from the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management pertaining
to the withholding of certain
information as proprietary. In order to
allow receipt of this information, the
Secretary hereby stays closure of the
decision record, currently scheduled to
occur on April 13, 2020, until April 27,
2020.
