Background
On September 28, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (Department)
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:37 Apr 13, 2006
Jkt 208001
antidumping duty order on Granular
Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin (PTFE)
From Italy, covering the period August
1, 2004, through July 31, 2005. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 70 FR 56631. The preliminary
results are currently due no later than
May 3, 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 complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order/
finding for which a review is requested.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within this 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 after the last
day of the anniversary month of an
order/finding for which a review is
requested.
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review within the original time
limit due to a number of complex issues
(e.g., recent changes in Solvay Solexis,
Inc. and Solvay Solexis S.p.A’s
corporate structure and affiliations,
further-manufacturing of wet raw
polymer into granular PTFE resin),
which must be addressed prior to the
issuance of those results. The
Department requires additional time to
analyze the respondent’s questionnaire
response and issue any necessary
supplemental questionnaires.
Accordingly, the Department is
extending, by 90 days, the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results of
this administrative review until no later
than August 1, 2006. We intend to issue
the final results no later than 120 days
after publication of the preliminary
results notice.
This notice of extension of the time
limit is published in accordance with
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Dated: April 10, 2006.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Assistant Administrator
for Fisheries, NMFS, (Assistant
Administrator) has renewed the
affirmative finding for the Republic of
Ecuador under the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA). This
affirmative finding will allow yellowfin
tuna harvested in the Eastern Tropical
Pacific Ocean (ETP) in compliance with
the International Dolphin Conservation
Program (IDCP) by Ecuadorian-flag
purse seine vessels or purse seine
vessels operating under Ecuadorian
jurisdiction to be imported into the
United States. The affirmative finding
was based on review of documentary
evidence submitted by the Republic of
Ecuador and obtained from the InterAmerican Tropical Tuna Commission
(IATTC) and the U.S. Department of
State.
The renewal is effective from
April 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq., allows
the entry into the United States of
yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine
vessels in the ETP under certain
conditions. If requested by the
harvesting nation, the Assistant
Administrator will determine whether
to make an affirmative finding based
upon documentary evidence provided
by the Republic of the harvesting nation,
the IATTC, or the Department of State.
The affirmative finding process
requires that the harvesting nation is
meeting its obligations under the IDCP
and obligations of membership in the
IATTC. Every 5 years, the Republic of
the harvesting nation must request an
affirmative finding and submit the
required documentary evidence directly
to the Assistant Administrator. On an
annual basis, NMFS will review the
affirmative finding and determine

whether the harvesting nation continues
to meet the requirements. A nation may
provide information related to
compliance with IDCP and IATTC
measures directly to NMFS on an
annual basis or may authorize the
IATTC to release the information to
NMFS to annually renew an affirmative
finding determination without an
application from the harvesting nation.
An affirmative finding will be
terminated, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, if the Assistant
Administrator determines that the
requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no
longer being met or that a nation is
consistently failing to take enforcement
actions on violations, thereby
diminishing the effectiveness of the
IDCP.
As a part of the affirmative finding
process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f), the
Assistant Administrator considered
documentary evidence submitted by the
Republic of Ecuador or obtained from
the IATTC and the Department of State
and has determined that Ecuador has
met the MMPA’s requirements to

renewal, allowing the continued
importation into the United States of
yellowfin tuna and products derived
from yellowfin tuna harvested in the
ETP by Ecuadorian-flag purse seine

under Ecuadorian jurisdiction.
Ecuador’s affirmative finding will
remain valid through March 31, 2010,
subject to subsequent annual reviews by
NMFS.
