Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 173 / Thursday, September 8, 2005 / Notices
In addition to the certifications
described above, the companies
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) The date on which
they first shipped wooden bedroom
furniture for export to the United States
and the date on which the wooden
bedroom furniture was first entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption; (2) the volume of their
first shipment and the volume of
subsequent shipments (if applicable);
and (3) the date of their first sale to an
unaffiliated customer in the United
States.
The Department conducted Customs
database queries to confirm that
Kunyu’s, Landmark’s, Meikangchi’s,
and WBE’s shipments of subject
merchandise had entered the United
States for consumption and had been
suspended for antidumping duties.
Initiation of New Shipper Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we find
that the requests submitted by Kunyu,
Landmark, Meikangchi, and WBE meet
the threshold requirements for initiation
of a new shipper review for shipments
of wooden bedroom furniture from the
PRC produced and exported by these
companies.
The POR is June 24, 2004, through
June 30, 2005. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). We intend to issue
preliminary results of these reviews no
later than 180 days from the date of
initiation, and final results of these
reviews no later than 270 days from the
date of initiation. See section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
Because Kunyu, Landmark,
Meikangchi, and WBE have certified
that they produced and exported the
wooden bedroom furniture on which
they based their respective requests for
a new shipper review, we will instruct
Customs and Border Protection to allow,
at the option of the importer, the posting
of a bond or security in lieu of a cash
deposit for each entry of wooden
bedroom furniture that was both
produced and exported by these
companies until the completion of the
new shipper reviews, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act.
Interested parties that need access to
proprietary information in this new
shipper review should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).

AGENCY:
received a notice of intent to participate
on behalf of Heritage Salmon Company,
Inc. and Atlantic Salmon of Maine
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status as domestic producers of
fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon
pursuant to section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
The Department received a complete
substantive response from the domestic
parties within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
The Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
respondent interested party to this
proceeding. As a result, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the
Department conducted an expedited
sunset review of this CVD order.
The Department determined that the
sunset review of the CVD order on fresh
and chilled Atlantic salmon from
Norway is extraordinarily complicated.
In accordance with section
751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, the
Department may treat a review as
extraordinarily complicated if it is a
review of a transition order (i.e., an
order in effect on January 1, 1995).
Therefore, on May 13, 2005, the
Department extended the time limit for
completion of the final results of this
review until not later than August 31,
2005.1
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is the species Atlantic salmon
(Salmon Salar) marketed as specified
herein; the order excludes all other
species of salmon: Danube salmon,
Chinook (also called ‘‘king’’ or
‘‘quinnat’’), Coho (‘‘silver’’), Sockeye
(‘‘redfish’’ or ‘‘blueback’’), Humpback
(‘‘pink’’) and Chum (‘‘dog’’). Atlantic
salmon is a whole or nearly–whole fish,
typically (but not necessarily) marketed
gutted, bled, and cleaned, with the head
on. The subject merchandise is typically
packed in fresh–water ice (‘‘chilled’’).
Excluded from the subject merchandise
are fillets, steaks and other cuts of
Atlantic salmon. Also excluded are
frozen, canned, smoked or otherwise
processed Atlantic salmon. Prior to
January 1, 1990, Atlantic salmon was
provided for under item numbers
0302.12.0060.8 and 0302.12.0065.3 of
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

SUMMARY: On February 2, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review
of the countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’)
order on fresh and chilled Atlantic
salmon from Norway pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’). See Initiation
of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR
5415 (February 2, 2005). On the basis of
a notice of intent to participate and an
adequate substantive response filed on
behalf of the domestic interested parties,
as well as inadequate response (in this
case, no response) from respondent
interested parties, the Department
conducted an expedited sunset review
of this CVD order pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B). As a result of this
sunset review, the Department finds that
revocation of the CVD order would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy
at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.

SUMMARY: The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)
announces proposed changes to Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
Publication 201, Standard for Personal
Identity Verification of Federal
Employees and Contractors. The
changes to Section 2.2, PIV Identify
Proofing and Registration Requirements,
and to Section 5.3.1, PIV Card Issuance,
will clarify the identity proofing and
registration process that departments
and agencies should follow when
issuing identity credentials. These
changes are required to make FIPS 201
consistent with the Memorandum for
All Departments and Agencies (M–05–
24), issued by the Office of Management
and Budget on August 5, 2005,
Implementation of Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12—
Policy for a Common Identification
Standard for Federal Employees and
Contractors. Before recommending these
proposed changes to FIPS 201 to the
Secretary of Commerce for review and
approval, NIST invites comments from
the public, users, the information
technology industry, and Federal, State
and local government organizations
concerning the proposed changes.
DATES: Comments on these proposed
changes must be received by October 11,
2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland
Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)
12, Policy for a Common Identification
Standard for Federal Employees and
Contractors, dated August 27, 2004,
directed the Secretary of Commerce to
promulgate, by February 27, 2005, a
Government-wide standard for secure
and reliable forms of identification to be
issued by the Federal Government to its
employees and contractors (including
contractor employees). FIPS 201 was
developed to satisfy the technical,
administrative, and timeliness
requirements of HSPD 12. The standard
was developed in a ‘‘manner consistent
with the Constitution and applicable
laws, including the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) and other statutes
protecting the rights of Americans’’ as
required in HSPD 12.
To assist departments and agencies in
implementing the provisions of FIPS
201, Joshua Bolten, the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), issued a Memorandum for All
Departments and Agencies on August 5,
2005 entitled ‘‘Implementation of
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD) 12—Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for
Federal Employees and Contractors.’’
The Memorandum provides
implementation guidance and clarifies
the requirements for identity proofing,
registration and accreditation processes.
Two provisions of FIPS 201 as
promulgated by the Secretary of
Commerce earlier this year are not
consistent with the guidance contained
in the Bolten Memorandum and those
provisions of FIPS 201 are hereby
proposed for revision. Sections 2.2,
