BILLING CODE 3510-22-S DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-201-838] Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube From Mexico: Correction to Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. DATES: *Effective Date:* May 28, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joy Zhang or George McMahon, AD/CVD Operations, Office 3, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone:
(202)482-1168 or
(202)482-1167, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Correction On May 12, 2010, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published in the **Federal Register** the following notice: *Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube From Mexico: Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination,* 75 FR 26726 (May 12, 2010) (“ *Mexico Preliminary Determination”* ). Subsequent to the publication of the notice in the **Federal Register,** we identified an inadvertent error in the *Mexico Preliminary Determination.* Specifically, the Department made an error by inadvertently modifying the text within the section titled “Scope of Investigation,” which caused certain terms ( *e.g.,* seamless, circular, and refined) to be deleted from portions of the scope language that was previously included in the *Initiation Notice. See* *Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube From the People's Republic of China and Mexico: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations,* 74 FR 55194, 55199 (October 27, 2009) (“ *Initiation Notice”* ). For reference, below is the correct scope language of the instant investigation. Scope of Investigation For the purpose of this investigation, the products covered are all seamless circular refined copper pipes and tubes, including redraw hollows, greater than or equal to 6 inches (152.4 mm) in length and measuring less than 12.130 inches (308.102 mm) (actual) in outside diameter (“OD”), regardless of wall thickness, bore ( *e.g.,* smooth, enhanced with inner grooves or ridges), manufacturing process ( *e.g.,* hot finished, cold-drawn, annealed), outer surface ( *e.g.,* plain or enhanced with grooves, ridges, fins, or gills), end finish ( *e.g.,* plain end, swaged end, flared end, expanded end, crimped end, threaded), coating ( *e.g.,* plastic, paint), insulation, attachments ( *e.g.,* plain, capped, plugged, with compression or other fitting), or physical configuration ( *e.g.,* straight, coiled, bent, wound on spools). The scope of this investigation covers, but is not limited to, seamless refined copper pipe and tube produced or comparable to the American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) ASTM-B42, ASTM-B68, ASTM-B75, ASTM-B88, ASTM-B88M, ASTM-B188, ASTM-B251, ASTM-B251M, ASTM-B280, ASTM-B302, ASTM-B306, ASTM-359, ASTM-B743, ASTM-B819, and ASTM-B903 specifications and meeting the physical parameters described therein. Also included within the scope of this investigation are all sets of covered products, including “line sets” of seamless refined copper tubes (with or without fittings or insulation) suitable for connecting an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump to an indoor evaporator unit. The phrase “all sets of covered products” denotes any combination of items put up for sale that is comprised of merchandise subject to the scope. “Refined copper” is defined as:
(1)Metal containing at least 99.85 percent by weight of copper; or
(2)metal containing at least 97.5 percent by weight of copper, provided that the content by weight of any other element does not exceed the following limits: Element Limiting content percent by weight Ag—Silver 0.25 As—Arsenic 0.5 Cd—Cadmium 1.3 Cr—Chromium 1.4 Mg—Magnesium 0.8 Pb—Lead 1.5 S—Sulfur 0.7 Sn—Tin 0.8 Te—Tellurium 0.8 Zn—Zinc 1.0 Zr—Zirconium 0.3 Other elements
(each)0.3 Excluded from the scope of this investigation are all seamless circular hollows of refined copper less than 12 inches in length whose OD (actual) exceeds its length. The products subject to this investigation are currently classifiable under subheadings 7411.10.1030 and 7411.10.1090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”). Products subject to this investigation may also enter under HTSUS subheadings 7407.10.1500, 7419.99.5050, 8415.90.8065, and 8415.90.8085. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive. Conclusion The Department clarifies that the “Scope of Investigation” section of the *Mexico Preliminary Determination* was unintentionally modified and no changes to the scope of this investigation have occurred pursuant to the *Mexico Preliminary Determination.* Therefore, the scope language stated in the *Initiation Notice* reflects the scope of this investigation. This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Dated: May 21, 2010. Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tammy Adams or Carrie Hubard, (301)713-2289. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject amendment to Permit No. 14241 is requested under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 *et seq.* ), and the regulations governing the taking and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216. Permit No. 14241, issued on July 15, 2009 (74 FR 3668), authorizes the permit holder to conduct research on cetacean behavior, sound production, and responses to sound. The research methods include tagging marine mammals with an advanced digital sound recording tag that records the acoustic stimuli an animal hears and measures vocalization, behavior, and physiological parameters. Research also involves conducting sound playbacks in a carefully controlled manner and measuring animals' responses. The principal study species are beaked whales, especially Cuvier's beaked whale ( *Ziphius cavirostris* ), and large delphinids such as long-finned pilot whales ( *Globicephala melas* ), although other small cetacean species may also be studied. The locations for the field work are the Mediterranean Sea, waters off of the mid-Atlantic United States, and Cape Cod Bay. The permit is valid through July 31, 2014. The permit holder is requesting the permit be amended to:
(1)include authorization for collection of a skin and blubber biopsy sample from some animals that are already authorized to be tagged;
(2)add new species for existing projects involving tagging, playbacks, and behavioral observations; and
(3)modify and clarify tagging and playback protocols and mitigation for when dependent calves are present. The new species for the Mediterranean Sea-based project are Blainville's beaked whale ( *Mesoplodon densirostris* ), Cuvier's beaked whale, short-finned pilot whale ( *Globicephala macrorhynchus* ), long-finned pilot whale, Risso's dolphin ( *Grampus griseus* ), and false killer whale ( *Pseudorca crassidens* ). The new species for the project based off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina are True's beaked whale ( *M. mirus* ), Gervais' beaked whale (M. europaeus), Blainville's beaked whale, bottlenose dolphin ( *Tursiops truncatus* ), Risso's dolphin, short-beaked common dolphin ( *Delphinus delphis* ), and Cuvier's beaked whale. The amendment would be valid through the current expiration date of the permit. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 *et seq.* ), an initial determination has been made that the activity proposed is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. Concurrent with the publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** , NMFS is forwarding copies of this application to the Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors. Dated: May 24, 2010. Tammy C. Adams, Acting Chief, Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
