maximum of 365 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested, and (2) 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 publication of the
preliminary results.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this review within the original time
limits. Specifically, a complex
affiliation issue has been raised. Korea
Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., has reported that
it is affiliated with Hwangyoung Steel
Industries Co. Ltd., and has reported the
home market sales and cost of
production for this company. The
Department needs more time to evaluate
the affiliation issue and the reported
data more thoroughly. For these reasons,
we are extending the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results
until no later than September 30, 2006.
We intend to issue the final results no
later than 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) of the Act.
Dated: May 23, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

ACTION: Notice; receipt of an application
for an exempted fishing permit.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces receipt
of an application for an exempted
fishing permit (EFP) from the Marine
Conservation Alliance Foundation. If
granted, the EFP would allow the
applicant to test trawl gear
modifications that may reduce Pacific
halibut bycatch rates for trawlers

of Alaska (GOA). This project is
intended to promote the objectives of
the Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska and
National Standard 9 of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act) by developing gear that may reduce
bycatch.
