(301)763-4039. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of Public Law 94-171 (Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 141(c)), the Director of the Census Bureau is required to provide the “officers or public bodies with initial responsibility for legislative apportionment or districting of each State * * * ” with the opportunity to specify geographic areas (for example, voting districts, wards, and election precincts) for which they wish to receive decennial census population totals for the purpose of reapportionment and redistricting. By April 1 of the year following the decennial census, the Secretary is required to furnish the State officials or their designees with population counts for counties, cities, census blocks, and State-specified congressional districts, legislative districts, and voting districts. In accordance with the provisions of Title 13, U.S.C. Section 141(c), and on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce, the Director announces the commencement of Phase 2 of the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program. The purpose of this notice is to provide further information on the commencement of the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program, Phase 2Voting District/Block Boundary Suggestion Project. Future notices will address the remaining phases of this 2010 Program. The 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program 1 was initially announced on May 13, 2004, in the **Federal Register** (69 FR 26547). This notice described the program that the Census Bureau proposed to adopt for the 2010 Census. In addition, Phase 1 of the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program was initially announced in a second **Federal Register** notice on February 15, 2005 (70 FR 7713). This notice described the procedures to be followed under Phase 1 for States to submit their legislative districts (House and Senate) to the Census Bureau for the development of data products by legislative district. For additional background information on these notices, please consult the **Federal Register** issues referenced above. Phase 1 was concluded on January 4, 2007, with the release of data re-tabulated from Census 2000 SF-1 (100% data) and SF-3 (sample data) for State legislative districts nationwide (50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). 1 As in the 1990 and 2000 censuses, the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program is being partitioned into several phases. State participation in Phases 1 and 2 of the 2010 Redistricting Data Program under 13 U.S.C. 141 is voluntary. Beginning in the summer of 2007 and by separate letter, the Director of the Census Bureau will invite each State to participate in Phase 2, the Voting District/Block Boundary Suggestion Project. This phase will include a verification step prior to release of the Phase 3 data. For each State responding by December 15, 2007 that it wishes to participate in Phase 2, the Census Bureau will provide one county of data for that State from the MAF/TIGER Database and a copy of the MAF/TIGER Partnership Software

(MTPS)to enable the State to begin work on Phase 2. States are not required to use the MTPS; however, they are required to provide their Phase 2 submission to the Census Bureau electronically in Census Bureau specified formats. During this time, the Census Bureau will provide training in the use of the MTPS and assist the States in preparing for the remaining counties within each State, scheduled for later in the fall of 2008. The States will have the opportunity to verify the inclusion of their voting districts and suggested tabulation block boundary features during 2009 and early 2010, to ensure the voting district boundaries that will be used by the Census Bureau are consistent with their submissions. The Census Bureau will continue to communicate with each State to ensure that the States are well informed on the benefits of working with the Census Bureau towards a successful 2010 Census. In addition, the Redistricting Data Office will continue to work with each State to ensure it is prepared to participate in Phase 2 and Phase 3: Delivery of the Decennial 2010 Census Redistricting Data. Every State, regardless of its participation in Phase 2, will receive the official redistricting data sets, as required by Pub. L. 94-171.

SUMMARY: In response to a request from Conduit S.A. de C.V. (Conduit), a Mexican producer of certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe and tube (pipe and tube), the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on pipe and tube from Mexico. The period of review covers November 1, 2005, through April 30, 2006. Based on our findings at verification, the Department preliminarily determines that the merchandise Conduit sold and entered into the United States was not subject merchandise. Because the respondent has consequently made no sales or shipments of the subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review, we preliminarily intend to rescind this new shipper review. EFFECTIVE DATE: April 20, 2007.

(202)482-0195 or

(202)482-8029, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department published an antidumping duty order on pipe and tube from Mexico on November 2, 1992. *See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico* , 57 FR 49453 (November 2, 1992). On May 26, 2006, the Department received a timely request from Conduit, in accordance with 19 CFR § 351.214(c), to initiate a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on pipe and tube from Mexico. Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.214(b), Conduit certified that it is both the exporter and producer of the subject merchandise, that it did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the period of the investigation, and that since the investigation was initiated, it has never been affiliated with any exporter or producer who exported the subject merchandise to the United States. Conduit also submitted documentation establishing the date on which the shipment that was the basis for this new shipper review was first entered for consumption, the volume shipped, and the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. The Department published the initiation of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on pipe and tube from Mexico on July 10, 2006. *See Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe and Tube from Mexico: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review* , 71 FR 38851 (July 10, 2006). Scope of the Order The merchandise under review is circular welded non-alloy steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross-section, not more than 406.4 millimeters (16 inches) in outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, surface finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or end finish (plain end, beveled end, threaded, or threaded and coupled). These pipes and tubes are generally known as standard pipes and tubes and are intended for the low-pressure conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, and other liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air conditioning units, automatic sprinkler systems, and other related uses, and generally meet ASTM A-53 specifications. Standard pipe may also be used for light load-bearing applications, such as for fence tubing, and as structural pipe tubing used for framing and support members for reconstruction or load-bearing purposes in the construction, shipbuilding, trucking, farm equipment, and related industries. Unfinished conduit pipe is also included in these orders. All carbon steel pipes and tubes within the physical description outlined above are included within the scope of these orders, except line pipe, oil country tubular goods, boiler tubing, mechanical tubing, pipe and tube hollows for redraws, finished scaffolding, and finished conduit. Standard pipe that is dual or triple certified/stenciled that enters the U.S. as line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines is also not included in these orders. Imports of the products covered by these orders are currently classifiable under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule

(HTS)subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90. Although the HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of these proceedings is dispositive. Preliminary Intent to Rescind New Shipper Review The Department may rescind a new shipper review with respect to an exporter or producer if the Department concludes that there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review. *See* 19 CFR § 351.214(f)(2). In response to the Department's questionnaire, Conduit provided full and complete responses attesting to their qualification as a new shipper under the Department's regulations, and established that a completed transaction (a sale and entry) of subject merchandise pipe and tube was sold to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. The Department conducted its verification of Conduit's responses in Mexico City from February 28, 2007, through March 2, 2007. The purpose of the Department's verification was to verify Conduit's one reported sale; however, during the verification, Conduit presented additional documentation of an unreported sale. Further examination of Conduit's quality certificates, production run data and additional sales documentation not presented to the Department during the questionnaire response period confirmed that the merchandise sold in the unreported sale was identical to the merchandise sold in the reported sale that is subject to this new shipper review. *See* Memorandum to the File from John Drury and Patrick Edwards, Analysts, through Angelica Mendoza, Program Manager regarding Verification of Sales Response of Conduit S.A. de C.V. in the Antidumping New Shipper Review of Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe and Tube from Mexico, dated March 23, 2007, on file in the Central Records Unit, room B-099 of the main Commerce building. Additionally, the documentation examined by the Department concerning the unreported sale, which was made in November 2005, indicated that the merchandise was of a type of tubing made to the American Society for Testing and Materials

(ASTM)standard of A-513, which is a mechanical tubing specification. The Department examined production documentation and quality certificates for the sale, confirming that, given its chemical composition and wall thickness, the pipe was indeed in conformance with the ASTM A-513 standard and not the product subject to this Order. Previous rulings on the scope of the Order prescribe that pipe produced to the A-513 standard, or generally “mechanical tubing,” is specifically excluded from the scope of the antidumping duty order on pipe and tube from Mexico. *See* section on “Scope of the Order” above. *See also* , Third Determination on Remand, *In the matter of: Final Scope Ruling - Antidumping Duty Order on Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Mexico* , Secretariat File No. USA-MEX_1998-1904-05 (February 19, 2004) ( *NAFTA Scope Decision* ). In its submission to the panel, during the *NAFTA Scope Decision* proceeding, the Department explained that, “ while mechanical tubing can comply with basic description of the pipe subject to this order, its removal from the order is based on its recognition by purchasers and producers as a specialized, made-to-order product. This denotes a product possessing unique chemical, physical, and mechanical characteristics, most notably the physical characteristics. It is a custom made, unique size product that is made to order, thereby differentiating it from the 'standard sizes' of pipe and fence tubing covered by the order. Non-standard pipe sizes generally would be considered to be outside the scope of the order the Department reiterates that mechanical tubing is outside of the scope of the Order.” The Panel affirmed this finding by the Department on June 7, 2004. Therefore, since this product possesses unique physical characteristics that do not comply with the products subject to this order, and based on the *NAFTA Scope Decision* , the Department preliminarily determines that there is no sale or entry of subject merchandise to examine, as prescribed under 19 CFR § 351.214(f)(2) of the Department's regulations. Accordingly, the Department preliminarily intends to rescind this new shipper review. Public Comment Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 15 days after the date of publication of this notice of intent to rescind. *See* 19 CFR § 351.309(c)(ii). Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be filed no later than five days after the time limit for filing the case briefs. *See* 19 CFR § 351.309(d). Parties who submit arguments are requested to submit with the argument

(1)a statement of the issue,

(2)a brief summary of the argument, and

(3)a table of authorities. Further, parties submitting written comments should provide the Department with an additional copy of the public version of any such comments on diskette.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is conducting administrative reviews of the countervailing duty orders on pure magnesium and alloy magnesium from Canada for the period January 1, 2005, through August 15, 2005. We preliminarily find that the countervailing duty rates during the period of review for the producer/exporter covered by these reviews is zero. If the final results remain the same as these preliminary results, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess countervailing duties as detailed in the “Preliminary Results of Reviews” section of this notice. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results ( *see* the “Public Comment” section of this notice). EFFECTIVE DATE: April 20, 2007.

(202)482-1174 or

(202)482-3853, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Case History On August 31, 1992, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published in the **Federal Register** the countervailing duty orders on pure magnesium and alloy magnesium from Canada ( *see Countervailing Duty Orders: Pure Magnesium and Alloy Magnesium From Canada* , 57 FR 39392 (August 31, 1992) (“Magnesium Investigation”). On August 1, 2006, the Department published a notice of “Opportunity to Request Administrative Review” of these countervailing duty orders ( *see Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review* , 71 FR 44085). We received a timely request for review from Norsk Hydro Canada, Inc. (“NHCI”). On September 29, 2006, we initiated these reviews covering shipments of subject merchandise from NHCI ( *see Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews* , 71 FR 57465). On October 19, 2006, we issued countervailing duty questionnaires to NHCI, the Government of Québec (“GOQ”), and the Government of Canada (“GOC”). We received questionnaire responses from NHCI on November 20, 2006, the GOQ on November 22, 2006, and the GOC on December 14, 2006. Scope of the Orders The products covered by these orders are shipments of pure and alloy magnesium from Canada. Pure magnesium contains at least 99.8 percent magnesium by weight and is sold in various slab and ingot forms and sizes. Magnesium alloys contain less than 99.8 percent magnesium by weight with magnesium being the largest metallic element in the alloy by weight, and are sold in various ingot and billet forms and sizes. The pure and alloy magnesium subject to the orders is currently classifiable under items 8104.11.0000 and 8104.19.0000, respectively, of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written descriptions of the merchandise subject to the orders are dispositive. Secondary and granular magnesium are not included in the scope of these orders. Our reasons for excluding granular magnesium are summarized in *Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Pure and Alloy Magnesium From Canada* , 57 FR 6094 (February 20, 1992). Period of Review The period of review (“POR”) for which we are measuring subsidies is January 1, 2005, through August 15, 2005. Analysis of Programs I. Programs Preliminarily Determined To Be Not Used We examined the following programs and preliminarily determine that NHCI did not apply for or receive benefits under these programs during the POR: • Article 7 Grant from the Québec Industrial Development Corporation (“SDI”) • Emploi-Québec Manpower Training Program • St. Lawrence River Environment Technology Development Program • Program for Export Market Development • The Export Development Corporation • Canada-Québec Subsidiary Agreement on the Economic Development of the Regions of Québec • Opportunities to Stimulate Technology Programs • Development Assistance Program • Industrial Feasibility Study Assistance Program • Export Promotion Assistance Program • Creation of Scientific Jobs in Industries • Business Investment Assistance Program • Business Financing Program • Research and Innovation Activities Program • Export Assistance Program • Energy Technologies Development Program • Financial Assistance Program for Research Formation and for the Improvement of the Recycling Industry • Transportation Research and Development Assistance Program II. Program Previously Determined To Be Terminated • Exemption from Payment of Water Bills Preliminary Results of Reviews For the period January 1, 2005, through August 15, 2005, we preliminarily find the net subsidy rate for NHCI to be 0.00 percent. Cash Deposit Instructions On July 6, 2006, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department revoked the countervailing duty orders on pure magnesium and alloy magnesium from Canada ( *see Revocation of the Countervailing Duty Orders: Pure Magnesium and Alloy Magnesium from Canada* , 71 FR 38382 (July 6, 2006)). The effective date of the revocations is August 16, 2005. As a result of this action, we do not intend to issue cash deposit instructions. Liquidation Instructions If the final results of these reviews remain the same as these preliminary results, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries during the period January 1, 2005, through August 15, 2005, without regard to countervailing duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1). The Department will issue appropriate instructions directly to CBP within 41 days of publication of the final results of these reviews. For all other companies that were not reviewed (except Timminco Limited which is excluded from the orders), the Department has directed CBP to assess countervailing duties on all entries between January 1, 2005, and August 15, 2005, at the rates in effect at the time of entry. Public Comment Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of publication of this notice. Any hearing, if requested, will be held 42 days after the publication of this notice, or the first workday thereafter.

ACTION: Notice; affirmative finding renewal. SUMMARY: The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NMFS, (Assistant Administrator) has renewed the affirmative finding for the Republic of El Salvador under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). This affirmative finding will allow yellowfin tuna harvested in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean

(ETP)in compliance with the International Dolphin Conservation Program

(IDCP)by El Salvadorian-flag purse seine vessels or purse seine vessels operating under El Salvadorian jurisdiction to be imported into the United States. The affirmative finding was based on review of documentary evidence submitted by the Republic of El Salvador and obtained from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and the U.S. Department of State. DATES: The renewal is effective from April 1, 2007, through March 31, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regional Administrator, Southwest Region, NMFS, 501 West Ocean Boulevard, Suite 4200, Long Beach, CA 90802-4213; phone 562-980-4000; fax 562-980-4018. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 *et seq.* , allows the entry into the United States of yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine vessels in the ETP under certain conditions. If requested by the harvesting nation, the Assistant Administrator will determine whether to make an affirmative finding based upon documentary evidence provided by the government of the harvesting nation, the IATTC, or the Department of State. The affirmative finding process requires that the harvesting nation is meeting its obligations under the IDCP and obligations of membership in the IATTC. Every 5 years, the government of the harvesting nation must request an affirmative finding and submit the required documentary evidence directly to the Assistant Administrator. On an annual basis, NMFS will review the affirmative finding and determine whether the harvesting nation continues to meet the requirements. A nation may provide information related to compliance with IDCP and IATTC measures directly to NMFS on an annual basis or may authorize the IATTC to release the information to NMFS to annually renew an affirmative finding determination without an application from the harvesting nation. An affirmative finding will be terminated, in consultation with the Secretary of State, if the Assistant Administrator determines that the requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no longer being met or that a nation is consistently failing to take enforcement actions on violations, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of the IDCP. As a part of the affirmative finding process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f), the Assistant Administrator considered documentary evidence submitted by the Republic of El Salvador or obtained from the IATTC and the Department of State and has determined that El Salvador has met the MMPA's requirements to receive an annual affirmative finding renewal. After consultation with the Department of State, the Assistant Administrator issued the Republic of El Salvador's annual affirmative finding renewal, allowing the continued importation into the United States of yellowfin tuna and products derived from yellowfin tuna harvested in the ETP by El Salvadorian-flag purse seine vessels or purse seine vessels operating under El Salvadorian jurisdiction. El Salvador's affirmative finding will remain valid through March 31, 2008, subject to subsequent annual reviews by NMFS. Dated: April 16, 2007. Samuel D.

(202)395-4821. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (P. L. 109-360) requires OFPP, in consultation with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, to review the use of online procurement services, such as reverse auction services, and identify types of commercial item procurements that are suitable for the use of such services; and features that should be provided by online procurement services that are used by Federal agencies. To conduct this review, a survey will be issued to the Government and industry buying activities and to reverse auction service providers. The information collected through the surveys will be used to determine how the Government buying activities can most effectively use reverse auctions as a tool to support Government requiring activities and ensure that the U.S. taxpayer is best served. To view the two draft surveys entitled, Online Procurement Services—Government and Industry Outreach Feedback and Online Procurement Services—Reverse Auction Service Providers Outreach Feedback, *visit www.acquisition.gov* . **Title** : Online Procurement Services—Government and Industry Outreach Feedback; and Online Procurement Services—Reverse Auction Service Providers Outreach Feedback. **OMB Number** : Not Yet Assigned. **Expiration Date** : Not yet determined. **Type of Request** : New collection of information. **Abstract** : The purpose of these two one-time surveys are to determine how Government buying activities can most effectively use reverse auctions as a tool to support Government requiring activities and to ensure the U.S. taxpayer is best served. **Affected Public** : Two respondent groups are identified and will receive similar surveys on Online Procurement Services: Government and industry buying activities; and reverse auction service providers. However, for the purposes of this collection we are counting the industry buying activities and reverse auction service providers. B. Annual Reporting Burden Estimated Number of Respondents: approximately 580 and not expected to exceed 1000. The estimated number of industry respondents to the Government and Industry Buying Activities Survey is 550. The estimated number of industry respondents to the Reverse Auction Survey is 30 based on the Government’s latest market research. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 per company. The number of responses per respondent is one for each of the two surveys. Each respondent will only be required to complete one survey once. Estimated Total Annual Responses: approximately 580 and not expected to exceed 1000 (580 x 1). Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes (0.50 hours). The estimated average time for industry to respond to Government and Industry Buying Activity Survey is approximately 15 minutes (0.25 hours), based on a pre-test of the draft instrument by Government employees. The data collection instrument for the Reverse Auction Service Providers Survey was pre-tested on a support contractor, a related business sector. The Reverse Auction Service Providers Survey instrument is similar to the Government and Industry Buying Activity Survey; therefore, the pre-test results for the Government and Industry Buying Activity Survey are used to estimate average response time for the Reverse Auction Service Providers Survey, which is 15 minutes (0.25 hours). Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 290 hours. (580 x 0.50) All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record. *Respondents* : 580 (not to exceed 1000). *Responses Per Respondent* : 1. *Annual Responses* : 580 (not to exceed 1000). *Hours Per Response* : 0.50. *Total Burden Hours* : 290. *Obtaining Copies of Proposals* : Requesters may obtain a copy of the information collection documents from the General Services Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (VIR), Room 4035, Washington, DC 20405, telephone
