In response to a request from Nucor Corporation, a domestic producer and interested party in this proceeding, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an administrative review of cut-to-length carbon steel plate (``CTL plate'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005.

If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. We will issue the final results no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice.

Opportunity for Public Comment; Bonneville Power Administration Long-Term Regional Dialogue Policy Proposal
BPA is publishing a policy proposal regarding the agency's future power supply role in the Pacific Northwest after 2011. This proposal addresses how the agency proposes to market power and distribute the costs and benefits of the Federal Columbia River Power System, which will create valuable certainty for customers over their BPA power supply. Current contracts expire in 2011, and once BPA makes basic policy decisions, it will still take at least another 16 months to negotiate new contracts and put a long-term tiered rate methodology in place. This will leave little more than three years for the region's utilities to make and implement their plans for developing any necessary power supply. It is in the region's best interest to proceed with implementation of this policy and to execute new contracts soon to accommodate such planning and development. A final record of decision on BPA's policy will be issued in early 2007 after all public comments have been reviewed.

The Central Valley Project-Rate Order No. WAPA-128
The Deputy Secretary of Energy confirmed and approved Rate Order No. WAPA-128 and Rate Schedules CV-F12, CV-T2, CV-NWT4, PACI-T2, and COTP-T2 that revise the Transmission Revenue Requirement (TRR) associated with Reactive Power and Voltage Control from the Central Valley Project (CVP) and other non-Federal Generation Sources Service (VAR Support) and place new formula rates into effect on an interim basis. The provisional formula rates will be in effect until the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) confirms, approves, and places them into effect on a final basis or until replaced by other rates. The provisional rates will provide sufficient revenue to pay all annual costs, including interest expense, and repay power investment and irrigation aid, within the allowable periods.
Robert D. Willis Power Rate
The Administrator, Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern), has prepared Current and Revised 2006 Power Repayment Studies (PRS) that show the need for an increase in annual revenues to meet cost recovery criteria. Such increased revenues are required primarily due to significant increases in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' generation investment at the project. The Administrator has developed a proposed Robert D. Willis rate schedule, which is supported by a PRS, to recover the required revenues. Beginning January 1, 2007, the proposed rates would increase annual revenues approximately 25.8 percent from $648,096 to $815,580.

Privacy Act of 1974; Privacy Act System of Records
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration proposes to revise an existing system of records titled ''Security Records System'' (NASA 10SECR), last published on December 13, 1999, (64 FR 69556). This system of records is being revised to describe the additional types of information being collected by NASA required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors) and FIPS 201 (Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors). Additionally, this system of records is being revised to reflect that NASA now collects and maintains emergency contact information for employees and contractors in order for notification of an employee or contractor's next-of-kin in the event of a mishap involving the individual. The purposes of this system of records are to: 1. Document security violations and supervisory actions taken. 2. Ensure the safety and security of NASA facilities, systems, or information, and Agency occupants and users. 3. Notify an employee's next-of-kin or contractor in the event of a mishap involving the NASA or contractor employee. 4. Complete the NASA identity proofing and registration process. 5. Create data records in the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Identity Management System (IDMS). 6. Issue PIV cards to verify that individuals entering Federal facilities, using Federal information resources, or accessing classified information are authorized to do so. 7. Track and control issued PIV cards.
