Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2006 / Notices
interested parties and an inadequate
response (in this case no response) from
respondent interested parties, the
Department is conducting an expedited
sunset review to determine whether
revocation of the CVD order on CTL
plate from Mexico would lead to the
continuation or recurrence of a
countervailable subsidy. See section 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C) of the Act.
In accordance with section
751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the Department
may extend the period of time for
making its determination in a sunset
review by not more than 90 days, if it
determines that the review is
extraordinarily complicated. As set forth
in section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, the
Department may treat a sunset review as
extraordinarily complicated if it is a
review of a transition order. The sunset
review subject to this notice is a review
of a transition order. Therefore, the
Department has determined, pursuant to
section 751(c)(5)(C)(v) of the Act, that
the sunset review of the CVD order on
CTL plate from Mexico is
extraordinarily complicated and
requires additional time for the
Department to complete its analysis.
Accordingly, the Department will
extend the deadline in this proceeding,
and, as a result, intends to issue the
final results of the expedited sunset
review of the CVD order on CTL plate
from Mexico on or about May 30, 2006,
90 days from the original scheduled
date of the expedited final sunset
review.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(c)(5)(B)
and (C) of the Act.
Dated: February 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

SUMMARY: The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)
invites interested parties to attend a
one-day Residential Fire Suppression
Research Needs Workshop. The
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:06 Feb 27, 2006
Jkt 208001
Workshop will provide a forum to
discuss test methods, technologies, and
R&D that can significantly improve
residential fire protection through the
development of science-based methods
that test the performance of fire
suppression technology with emphasis
on residential kitchen applications. The
Workshop program will include experts
from the standards, hardware
manufacturer, testing and fire service
communities, and those doing research
on fire suppression, speaking on today’s
fire safety challenges. The workshop
will be held April 11, 2006 from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
The goal of the workshop is to
identify barriers that impede advances
in the application of localized
suppression systems in residences. In
this regard, the Workshop will explore:
• Residential Fire Trends
• Developments in Suppression
System Technologies
• Characterization of the Performance
of Suppression Systems
• The Role of Federal Agencies and
Standards Committees
• Opportunities for Collaboration
We expect this workshop to provide
a strong foundation for follow-on efforts
among government agencies, industry,
and academia to
• Identify/define research needs on
Residential Fire Suppression
• Develop performance standards
• Demonstrate performance metrics
Due to space limitations, attendance
will be limited to 45 registered
participants. Participants will be
registered on a first come first serve
basis. Attendees must pre-register; there
will be no same-day registrations.
DATES: The Residential Fire Suppression
Research Needs Workshop will be held
April 11, 2006. The workshop will be
held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held
at the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST), 100 Bureau
Drive, Bldg 224, Rm B–245,
Gaithersburg, MD 20899.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Of the
400,000 residential fires reported in
2001, approximately 30% involved
cooking equipment in the kitchen,
resulting in approximately 370 fatalities
and 4,300 injuries. Sixty-eight percent
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of these cooking fires involved the
stovetop. To address this life-safety
issue on a timely basis, retrofit fire
suppression systems must be considered
as part of the solution. A number of
range top fire suppression systems have
been developed, however, market
acceptance has been limited. Broad
acceptance of effective fire suppression
systems will require the development
and industry acceptance of a standard
test method. Existing standard
suppression test methods designed for
residential sprinklers (UL 1626) and
commercial systems (UL 300) are not
optimized for devices developed
specifically for residential stovetop
fires. There is currently no widely
accepted standard test method for
residential kitchen fire hazards,
although there is an outline for fire test
methods for self-contained units,
UL300A, ‘‘Outline of Investigation for
Extinguishing System Units for
Residential Range Top Cooking
Surfaces’’. For more information on the

Notice of Intent To Establish the NIST
Nucleic Acid Sequence Library
National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) is
collecting nucleic acid sequences,
which have been dedicated to the public
domain, in order to form a library of
sequences suitable for the preparation of
RNA reference materials. These
reference materials are intended to act
as external RNA controls in gene
expression assays. It is expected that
there will be commercial products based
upon this sequence library.
Development of these reference
materials is being done in conjunction
with the External RNA Control
Consortium (ERCC), an ad hoc
international consortium of
approximately 70 organizations from the
public, private, and academic sectors.
