February 8, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On August 6, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on individually quick frozen red raspberries from Chile. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary results and have made certain changes for the final results. We find that certain companies reviewed sold individually quick frozen red raspberries from Chile in the United States below normal value during the period December 31, 2001, through June 30, 2003.

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b(e)(3)), of the regular meeting of the Farm Credit Administration Board (Board).

On Thursday, February 3, 2005, a majority of the Board of Directors (Board) of the Corporation for National and Community Service (Corporation) voted, pursuant to 45 CFR 2505.4, to close public observation for a meeting on February 7, 2005. The meeting to be closed involves discussions of the draft AmeriCorps rulemaking proposal the Corporation plans to submit to the Office of Management and Budget rulemaking docket. The vote followed a determination, in accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act and the Corporation's regulations, that Board business required this discussion without the delay that would be necessary to make a public announcement at least one week before the meeting, in accordance with 45 CFR 2505.6. In accordance with 45 CFR 2505.5(e), the Corporation's General Counsel has certified that, in his opinion, the meeting to be closed could properly be closed to public observation on the grounds that disclosing the information to be discussed to the public prematurely would significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action, pursuant to 45 CFR 2505.4(h)(i). The Board accepted that determination in voting to close the meeting. As provided in 45 CFR 2505.5(c), the members of the Board voting in favor of closing the meeting were: Stephen Goldsmith; Dorothy Johnson; Donna Williams; Cynthia Burleson; Henry Lozano; Leona White Hat; and William Schambra. The Corporation expects the following Corporation for National and Community staff to attend the closed meeting: David Eisner, Chief Executive Officer; Andrew Klein, Acting Chief Financial Officer; Amy Mack, Chief of Staff; Frank Trinity, General Counsel; Rosie Mauk, Director of AmeriCorps; Kathy Ott, Director of Government Relations; Robert Grimm, Director of Research and Policy Development; Nicola Goren, Associate General Counsel; Susannah Washburn, Senior Advisor to the CEO; Carol Bates, Acting Inspector General; and Vincent Mulloy, Counsel to the Inspector General. In addition, the Corporation expects the following members of the Board of Directors to attend: Stephen Goldsmith (Chair); Dorothy Johnson; Donna Williams; Cynthia Burleson; Carol Kinsley; Henry Lozano; William Schambra; Mimi Mager; Mark Gearan; Jacob Lew; Leona White Hat, as well as Alan Solomont, immediate past Chair of the Board's rulemaking committee, and Juanita Doty, immediate past chair of the Board's communications committee.

The Commission invites comments from the public, including but not limited to interested parties, on whether changed circumstances exist sufficient to warrant the institution of investigations pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(b)) (the Act) to review the Commission's affirmative determinations in investigations Nos. 731-TA-1066-1067 (Final). The purpose of the proposed review investigations is to determine whether revocation of the existing antidumping duty orders on imports of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from India and Thailand is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury (19 U.S.C. 1675(b)(2)(A)). Certain frozen warmwater shrimp are provided for in subheadings 0306.13.00 and 1605.20.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.

Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
