SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 3, 2006, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping order on stainless steel bar
from Germany for the period March 1,
2004, through February 28, 2005 (See
Stainless Steel Bar from Germany:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Administrative Review, 71 FR 5811
(February 3, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary
Results’’)). The current deadline for the
final results of this review is June 5,
2006.
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to issue (1) the
preliminary results of a review within
245 days after the last day of the month
in which occurs the anniversary of the
date of publication of an order or
finding for which a review is requested,
and (2) 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 the final results to a
maximum of 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. See 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2).
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the final results of this
review within the original time limits.
Due to the complexity of issues present
in this administrative review, such as
BGH’s claim of a downward adjustment
to normal value for home market
commissions and the Department’s
upward adjustment to BGH’s cost of
manufacture, the Department needs
more time to address these items and
evaluate the issues more thoroughly.
Therefore, we are extending the
deadline for the final results of this
review by 30 days. Accordingly, the
final results will be issued no later than
July 3, 2006.
This extension is in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2).

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant
Regional Administrator) has made a
preliminary determination that the
subject exempted fishing permit (EEP)
application contains all the required
information and warrants further
consideration. The EEP, which would
enable researchers to investigate the
feasibility of using a raised footnote
trawl to catch haddock and pollock
while limiting cod and flounder by
catch, would allow for exemptions from
the FMP as follows: Gulf of Maine
(GOM) Rolling Closure Areas II and IV;
and the minimum mesh size for trawl
gear. The Assistant Regional
Administrator has also made a
preliminary determination that the
activities authorized under the EFP
would be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Northeast (NE)
Multispecies Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). However, further review and
consultation may be necessary before a
final determinations is made to issue the
EFP. Therefore, NMFS announces that
the Assistant Regional Administrator
proposes to recommend that an EFP is
issued that would allow two
commercial fishing vessels to conduct
fishing operations that are otherwise
restricted by the regulations governing
the fisheries of the Northeastern United
States.
Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act require publication of
this notification to provide interested
parties the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed EFPs.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 26, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A
complete application for an EFP was
submitted on April 11, 206, by Dr.
Pingguo He of the University of New
Hampshire (UNH) for a Northeast
Consortium contract project. The
primary goal of the research is to design
and test a high opening haddock raised
footrope trawl for potential use in the
Regulator B Days-at-Sea (DAS) program
in the GOM.
The proposed work is the second year
of a two-year project. Year one included
flume tank tails and at-sea trails by one
vessel to test net configurations. During
the second year of the project, two
vessels, the F/V North Star (Federal
permit number 270699) and the F/V
Persistence (Federal permit number
230290), would be involved in the at-sea
research. During the first year,
researches were unable to complete all
10 days of the at-sea trails authorized by
a previous EFP. For this year’s EFP, the
researchers have requested that one
vessel be exempted from Rolling
Closure Areas III and IV, and the
minimum mesh size requirements for
the GOM RMA under this EFP for up to
seven DAS during the 2006 fishing year
in order to complete those trails.
Subsequent to these trails, two vessels
would engage in side-by-side trawling
using 12 DAS each. One vessel would
use the experimental net and the other
ADDRESSES:
would use a regulation commercial net
as a control. All trails would occur in
the area north of 42°50′ N. lat., and wet
of 69°00′W. long. in inshore waters of
the GOM, excluding the Western GOM
Closure Area. Researchers have asked
for an exemption to the regulations at
§ 648.81(f)(1)(iii) and (iv), establishing
GOM Rolling Closure Areas III and IV,
for both vessels because they believe
that an optimum mixture of haddock,
pollock, cod, and flounder will be
present in the waters of the Western
GOM during May and June to test the
experimental gear. Because the aim of
the project is to develop gear that could
separate haddock and pollock from cod
and flounder before the fish are brought
onboard, an exemption from GOM
Rolling Closures III and IV is important
to the success of the study. Researchers
have also requested an exemption from
the minimum mesh size requirement for
the GOM Regulated Mesh Area (RMS) at
§ 648.809(a)(3)(i) for seven DAS. During
these seven DAS, net configuration
trails will be conducted. Use of a small
mesh cod end, or liner, is necessary to
collect fish released from the trawl in
order to quantify the effect o the
separator trawl and make effective
comparisons of the net configurations
tested.
Net configuration trails would consist
of a maximum of four 1-hour tows per
DAS. Side-by-side trawling trails would
consist of a maximum of four 2-hour
tows by each vessel per DAS.
Additionally, researchers would use
remote underwater video observation
and acoustic gear geometry monitoring
to assess the success of the net during
the at-sea trials. The design of the net
would consist of long drop-chains
hanging between the fishing ling and
the sweep (raised footrope), creating a
space for cod, flounders, and other
benthic animals to escape or fall under
the fishing line while the vessel targets
primarily haddock and pollock. The
trawl would incorporate large meshes in
the wings and belly, and kites in the
square near the headline. Kites may also
be used near the ends of the wings to
expand the trawl.
The weight of all haddock, pollock,
cod, and flounder will be determined
for each control and experimental tow.
If available, 70 of each major groundfish
species, both legal and sub-legal sizes,
would be measured from alternating
control and experimental tows. The
overall fishing mortality for the
experimental net is estimated to be 30
percent of the average commercial
fishing mortality on a DAS due to both
the species-selective design of the net
and the reduced amount of time spent
towing each day. The overall fishing
mortality for the commercial net is
estimated to be 50 percent of the average
commercial fishing mortality on a DAS
due to the reduced amount of time spent
towing each day. The researcher
anticipates that a total of 18,978 lb
(8,608 kg) of fish, including 6,612 lb
(2,999 kg) of cod, would be sacrificed
throughout the course of the study (see
Tables 1 and 2 below). All research
would be conducted using A DAS, even
though daily fishing mortality is
estimated to be less than 50 percent of
commercial fishing mortality.

AGOA; Presidential Proclamation 7350 of
October 2, 2000; Section 1 of Executive Order
No. 13191 of January 17, 2001.
Background:
The AGOA provides for quota- and
duty-free treatment for qualifying textile
and apparel products. Such treatment is
generally limited to products
manufactured from yarns and fabrics
formed in the United States or a
beneficiary country. The AGOA also
provides for quota- and duty-free
treatment for apparel articles that are
both cut (or knit-to-shape) and sewn or
otherwise assembled in one or more
beneficiary countries from fabric or yarn
that is not formed in the United States,
if it has been determined that such
fabric or yarn cannot be supplied by the
domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner. In
Executive Order No. 13191 (66 FR
7271), CITA has been delegated the
authority to determine whether yarns or
fabrics cannot be supplied by the
domestic industry in commercial
quantities in a timely manner under the
AGOA. On March 6, 2001, CITA
published procedures that it will follow
in considering requests (66 FR 13502).
On March 6, 2006, the Chairman of
CITA received a petition from Shibani
Inwear alleging that a certain combed
and ring-spun yarn, of a 92-percent
cotton and 8-percent cashmere blend,
comprised of 2/32 Nm resulting in a 16
Nm yarn size, classified in HTSUS

supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. The petition requested that
men’s knit sweaters made of such yarn
be eligible for preferential treatment
under the AGOA.
On March 15, 2006, CITA published
a notice in the Federal Register
requesting public comments on the
petition (71 FR 13359), particularly with
respect to whether this yarn can be
supplied by the domestic industry in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner. On March 31, 2006, CITA and
USTR offered to hold consultations with
the House Ways and Means Committee
and the Senate Finance Committee, but
no consultations were requested. We
also requested advice from the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
and the relevant Industry Trade
Advisory Committees.
Based on the information and advice
CITA received, public comments, and
the report from the ITC, CITA found that
there is domestic capacity and ability to
supply the subject yarn in commercial
quantities in a timely manner. North
Carolina Spinning Mills currently
makes cashmere blend yarns and can
supply the subject yarn in the quantities
specified by the petitioner.
On the basis of currently available
information and our review of this
request, CITA has determined that there
is domestic capacity to supply the
subject yarn in commercial quantities in
a timely manner. The request from
Shibani Inwear is denied.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A complete application for an EFP was
submitted on April 11, 206, by Dr. Pingguo He of the University of New
Hampshire (UNH) for a Northeast Consortium contract project. The
primary goal of the research is to design and test a high opening
haddock raised footrope trawl for potential use in the Regulator B
Days-at-Sea (DAS) program in the GOM.
The proposed work is the second year of a two-year project. Year
one included flume tank tails and at-sea trails by one vessel to test
net configurations. During the second year of the project, two vessels,
the F/V North Star (Federal permit number 270699) and the F/V
Persistence (Federal permit number 230290), would be involved in the

configuration trails will be conducted. Use of a small mesh cod end, or
liner, is necessary to collect fish released from the trawl in order to
quantify the effect o the separator trawl and make effective
comparisons of the net configurations tested.
Net configuration trails would consist of a maximum of four 1-hour
tows per DAS. Side-by-side trawling trails would consist of a maximum
of four 2-hour tows by each vessel per DAS. Additionally, researchers
would use remote underwater video observation and acoustic gear

(8,608 kg) of fish, including 6,612 lb (2,999 kg) of cod, would be
sacrificed throughout the course of the study (see Tables 1 and 2
