Background
On September 13, 2005, the
Department published the preliminary
results of its changed circumstances
review. We self–initiated the review to
consider information contained in a
recent Federal court proceeding, Goss
International Corp. v. Tokyo Kikai
Seisakusho, Ltd., 321 F.Supp.2d 1039
(N.D. Iowa 2004) (Goss Int’l), that Tokyo
Kikai Seisakusho, Ltd. provided
inaccurate and incomplete information
to the Department during the 1997–1998
administrative review. See Large

(May 10, 2005). Because the issues
involved in this case are novel and
complex, we are extending the time for
completion of the final results by 30
days, until March 1, 2006, in order to
further consider the comments
submitted by interested parties. See 19
CFR 351.302(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On June 30, 2005, the Department
initiated an administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on certain
softwood lumber products from Canada.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 70 FR 37749. The preliminary
results are currently due no later than
January 31, 2006.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to issue the preliminary
results of a review within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
an order/finding for which a review is
requested and the final results within
120 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within that time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the preliminary results to
a maximum of 365 days and for the final
results to 180 days (or 300 days if the
Department does not extend the time
limit for the preliminary results) from
the date of the publication of the
preliminary results.
The subsidy programs covered by this
review are extraordinarily complicated.

In addition, because this administrative
review is being conducted on an
aggregate level, the Department must
analyze large amounts of data from each
of the Canadian Provinces as well as
data from the Canadian Federal
Government. Therefore, the Department
is fully extending the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results to
May 31, 2006. The final results continue
to be due 120 days after publication of
the preliminary results.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

II. Commercial Setting for the Mission
The FIDAE Air Show is Latin
America’s premier aerospace and
defense technology event. A biennial air
show in Santiago, it is the only event of
its kind in the region to showcase
aerospace-related products and services.
At the FIDEA 2004 Show, 258
companies exhibited from 31 countries
with 41,282 visitors attending the event.
There were a total of 128 aircraft on
display during the six-day air show. In
2006, it is expected that 350 exhibitors
from more than 45 countries will
participate in the show. Attendees and
visitors to the FIDEA Air Show include
government officials, senior company
managers, and high-level executives
involved in the aerospace and defense
markets in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
While there has been a slight decline
in defense spending in Chile and the
rest of South America, the commercial
aerospace sector is again on the march.
CS Chile reports that Chile saw an
unprecedented growth in its airline
sector in 2004, surpassing the previous
record of 6.4 million passengers set in
2000. International flights showed the
largest growth, rising 5 percent from
2003 to 2004 reach 3.63 million
passengers flying in and out of Chile.
This presents enormous trade
opportunities for the airport, ground
handling, air traffic control, general
aviation, aircraft maintenance, and
security sub-sectors.
III. Goals for the Mission
The goal of the Aerospace Executive
Service at the FIDAE International Air
Show is to facilitate an effective
presence for small- and medium-sized
companies without their incurring the
major expenses associated with
purchasing and staffing exhibit space.
The AES Program enables U.S.
aerospace and defense companies to
familiarize themselves with this
important trade fair, to conduct market
research while attending the show, and
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
to explore export opportunities through
pre-arranged meetings with potential
partners. The Aerospace Executive
Service also allows U.S. companies to
have a presence at the show in the form
of an AES Information Booth, providing
participants with an enhanced image
and level of engagement in which to
interact with the show’s visitors.
Participants will also benefit from the
support of knowledgeable ITA and
Commercial Service staff focused on
furthering their company’s objectives.
IV. Scenario for the Mission
CS trade specialists will promote the
FIDAE AES in collaboration with CS
Chile, the Aerospace & Defense
Technologies Team, and in cooperation
with the Office of Global Trade
Programs. This promotion will take
place nationwide and will largely be
handled by the Aerospace & Defense
Technologies Team. Companies
interested in the AES will apply to the
program, and once accepted (see
‘Criteria for Participant Selection’) will
work with the AES coordinator to
develop their business goals at the
FIDAE International Air Show.
U.S. Export Assistance Center trade
specialists, the Aerospace & Defense
Technologies Team, and Global Trade
Programs officers will recruit and
counsel prospective participants for the
FIDAE International Air Show AES. The
companies will forward company
information and literature to CS Chile in
advance whereupon CS Chile will begin
the partner search, management, and
logistical coordination of the program.
Company literature and promotional
material will either be shipped to CS
Chile or brought by the participant for
display in the U.S. Pavilion.
Effective communication between the
AES coordinator and all U.S.
participants will be essential to the
success of the AES program. E-mail and
periodic conference calls will be used to
guarantee that this is accomplished. CS
staff will be available for information
and assistance throughout the duration
of the AES at the 2006 FIDAE Air Show.
Prior to the end of the AES program,
CS staff will advise and counsel
participants on appropriate follow-up
procedures.

Program includes:
• Pre-show counseling by CS industry
and trade experts.
• Pre-show outreach and press release
by CS Chile.

Agency
[Docket No. 000724217–6008–11]
Amendment of Performance Incentives
for Minority Business Enterprise
Centers To Allow for a Third Bonus
Year of Funding
Minority Business
Development Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Minority Business
Development Agency (MBDA) publishes
this notice to announce that it will
allow for a third year of bonus funding,
on a non-competitive basis, to the
Houston Minority Business Enterprise
Center (MBEC) (formally known as the
Houston Minority Business
Development Center (MBDC)), as
originally funded under the Federal
Register notice of August 28, 2000 (65
FR 52069). In its August 28, 2000 notice,
MBDA solicited competitive
applications from organizations to
operate MBECs. The MBEC Program
provides funding for general business
assistance to minority business
enterprises (MBEs) in various markets
throughout the United States and
stipulated that no award to operate a
MBEC may be longer than five funding
periods. MBDA changes this policy to
allow for a third year of bonus funding
for a total of six funding periods. This
action is taken in light of the fact that
the Houston MBEC (Grijalva and Allen)
has had an ‘‘excellent’’ performance
rating for five consecutive years.
Furthermore, this action supports the
Agency’s efforts in rebuilding minority
firms impacted by Hurricanes Rita and
Katrina. The Houston MBEC noncompetitively received additional
funding in the amount of $300,000,
specifically to assist the minority firms
impacted by Hurricane Katrina, as it
was the closest proximity to the Gulf
Coast and able to immediately respond
to the need for additional services. This
is in addition to the amount of $400,375
for the continuation of general business
assistance to MBEs in program year
2006.

The third bonus funding period,
if approved by the Grants Officer, will
commence January 1, 2006 and continue
through December 31, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Efrain Gonzalez at (202) 482–1940.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
Executive order 11625, the MBEC
Program requires MBEC staff to provide
general business assistance to minorityowned companies in various markets
throughout the United States, and
standardized business assistance
services to ‘‘rapid growth potential’’
minority businesses (e.g., those
generating $500,000 or more in annual
revenues or capable of generating
significant employment and long-term
economic growth); to develop a network
of strategic partnerships; to possibly
charge client fees; and to provide
strategic business consulting. These
requirements are used to generate
increased results with respect to
financing and contracts awarded to
minority-owned firms and thus, are a
key component of this program.
MBDA is announcing the amendment
of a prior Federal Register notice (65 FR
52069, August 28, 2000) published by
MBDA which established that no award
to operate a Minority Business
Enterprise Center (MBEC) (formally
known as Minority Business
Development Centers (MBDC)) may be
longer than five funding periods
without competition, no matter what an
MBEC’s performance happens to be.
Under the prior notice, performance
incentives allowed MBECs to earn two
bonus funding periods, in addition to
the normal three funding periods,
without competition based on an
‘‘excellent’’ performance rating, for a
total of five funding periods. MBDA
hereby amends the prior notice to allow
for a third year of bonus funding on a
non-competitive basis to eligible MBECs
originally funded under the Federal
Register notice of August 28, 2000, for
a total of six funding periods.
This action is taken in light of the fact
that the Houston MBEC (Grijalva and
Allen) has maintained an ‘‘excellent’’
performance rating over the five year
funding period. This MBEC is the only
MBEC to have achieved an ‘‘excellent’’
performance rating in five consecutive
program years and thus is the only
recipient of the third bonus funding
period. In addition, this award will
allow the Houston MBEC to maintain
continuity in level of services in light of
the adverse economic impact and
devastation caused by Hurricanes Rita
and Katrina.
Such additional funding will be at the
total discretion of MBDA. The Houston
