SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On behalf of the Department of Homeland PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Security, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is coordinating performance tests of commercially available equipment based on the ANSI N42.32, N42.33, N42.34 and N42.35 standards as well as on the test and evaluation protocols for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by various National laboratories. The tests are designed to determine the effectiveness of radiation detection instruments that may be used by first responders in a radiological incident. The participating National laboratories are: Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Interested manufacturers should contact NIST at the address given above. NIST will supply a Letter of Understanding, which the manufacturer must execute and send to NIST. NIST will then assign the manufacturer’s equipment to the National laboratory conducting the testing for that type of device and will provide the manufacturer with shipping instructions for their equipment. All equipment tested under this program must meet the minimum specifications stated in ANSI Standards N42.32 ‘‘Performance Criteria for Alarming Personal Radiation Detectors for Homeland Security,’’ N42.33 ‘‘Portable Radiation Detection Instrumentation for Homeland Security,’’ N42.34 ‘‘Performance Criteria for Hand-held Instruments for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides,’’ and N42.35 ‘‘Evaluation and Performance of Radiation Detection Portal Monitors for Use in Homeland Security,’’ as detailed below. The instruments provided will be tested according to the provisions in the standards and will be returned to the manufacturer after the tests by the National laboratory that performed the tests. Manufacturers should be aware that some of the testing protocols may damage or destroy the equipment. At the conclusion of the testing, the equipment will be returned to the Manufacturer, c.o.d., in the condition the equipment is in at the conclusion of the testing. Neither NIST, the Department of Homeland Security, nor any National laboratory will be responsible for the condition of the equipment when returned to the manufacturer. As a condition for participating in this testing program, each manufacturer must agree in advance to hold harmless all of these parties for the condition of the equipment. E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1

Background

    On May 27, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the notice of initiation of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
bar from Italy, covering the period March 1, 2003, through February 29, 
2004 (69 FR 30282). On November 17, 2004, the Department published a 
notice of extension of time limit for the preliminary results of this 
antidumping duty administrative review until February 1, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the Act'') 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an antidumping duty order for which a review is 
requested and issue the final results within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are published. However, if the Department 
finds it is not practicable to complete the review within the time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
    Due to the complex verification and affiliation issues in this 
case, the Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results in this administrative review of stainless steel 
bar from Italy by February 1, 2005. Therefore, the Department is 
extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results 
until March 31, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
