the Department of Commerce is required to initiate an antidumping 
investigation when a domestic interested party alleges the elements 
necessary for the imposition of an antidumping duty on an imported 
product. The antidumping petition is used to gather the information 
necessary to determine whether an antidumping duty investigation is 
warranted. The information requested relates to the existence of sales 
at less than fair value and injury to the affected U.S. industry. This 
information is necessary in setting forth an allegation that foreign 
merchandise is being dumped in the United States and forms the basis 
for initiating an investigation.

arrange appointments and prospect calls on behalf of the participants 
with key prospective buyers, agents, distributors or government

area to justify the maintenance of an account.
    Affected Public: Small businesses or organizations.

improve marketing and utilization of fish, and provide consumer 
education on the value of fish products. Information is required in 
order for the Secretary to approve a Council and, once it is, certain 
reports must be filed. Without this information, NOAA would not have 
sufficient information to base its decision.
