SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Statutory Time Limits
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order for which a review
is requested and a final determination
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within these time
periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the preliminary
determination to a maximum of 365
days after the last day of the anniversary
month.

Background
On March 29, 1995, the Department
published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on glycine from
the PRC. See Antidumping Duty Order:
Glycine from the People’s Republic of
China, 60 FR 16116, (March 29, 1995).
On April 28, 2006, the Department
published a notice of initiation of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on glycine from
the People’s Republic of China. See
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 71 FR 25145 (April 28, 2006).
The preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due
no later than December 1, 2006.
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
limit because the Department requires
additional time to analyze the
supplemental questionnaire responses,
issue additional supplemental
questionnaires, as well as to evaluate
what would be the most appropriate
surrogate values to use during the
period of review. Therefore, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results by 120 days. The preliminary
results will now be due no later than
April 2, 2007, which is the first business
day after the 120-day extension (the
120th day falls on the weekend). The
final results continue to be due 120 days

results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: October 23, 2006.

Instrument: Ultra–High Vacuum Low
Temperature Scanning Tunneling
Microscope. Manufacturer: Omicron
Nano Technology, Germany. Intended
Use: See 71 FR 42633, July 27, 2006.
Reasons: The foreign instrument
provides:
1. A fully cryogenic STM that is
directly connected to a liquid
helium cryostat at 4 K, with a hold
time of 15 hours before recharging
is necessary
2. Cooling of both sample and tip for
operation and measurement at 4 K
with spatial sample/tip
instrumental drift rates of less than
1 billionth of an inch per hour.
3. Tip manipulation and transfer
inside the ulta–high vacuum
chamber without exposure to
ambient air conditions.

Jkt 211001
Laser. Manufacturer: InnoLas, Germany.
Intended Use: See notice at 71 FR
42633, July 27, 2006. Reasons: The
foreign instrument provides:
1. Incorporation of both lasers into a
single compact housing, ensuring
that both lasers are properly aligned
and minimizing realignment if they
are moved. The smaller footprint
saves limited laboratory space.
2. Exceptional mechanical and
thermal stability associated with the
laser body being fabricated out of a
single cast–aluminum body
resulting in superior reliability and
an exceptionally stable day–to-day
beam profile with minimal beam
walk for maximal beam overlap
3. The Nd:YAG laser radiates a
600mJ/pulse at 1064 nm, 300mJ/
pulse at 532 nm and 140 mJ/pulse
at 355 nm.
4. Repetition rate of 20 Hz. All nine
of the other Nd:YAG lasers in the
lab operate at 20 Hz making this
rate an absolute requirement for
planned multi–laser experiments.
Advice received from: The National
Institutes of Health.
Docket Number: 06–046. Applicant:
University of Colorado, JILA
Department, Boulder, CO 80309.
Instrument: Nd:YAG Laser, Model SL–
300–20 D . Manufacturer: InnoLas,
Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 71
FR 42633, July 27, 2006 (comparable
case with 06–065). Reasons: The foreign
instrument provides exceptional
stability and reliability to perform
experiments run every day over months
and years. Down time must be minimal.
The laser must be operated in an
environment subject to vibration from
turbomolecular vacuum pumps. The
housing of an InnoLas laser is machined
out of a single, monolithic metal block
and offers superior stability in a
vibrationally harsh environment. The
laser must also operate at a repetition
rate of 20 Hz to be synchronized with
the rest of the experiment and should be
mounted as close as possible to the ion
source for laser safety, making minimal
dimensions of the laser head desirable.
The capabilities of each of the foreign
instruments described above are
pertinent to each applicant’s intended
purpose and we know of no other
instrument or apparatus being
manufactured in the United States
which is of equivalent scientific value to
any of the foreign instruments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The initial
notice was published in the Federal
Register on October 12, 2006, (71 FR
60109) but the meeting has been
rescheduled due to conflicts. At the
rescheduled meeting the committee will
review the PDT’s recommendations for
a Great South Channel Habitat Area of
Particular Concern (HAPC) alternative
and potentially recommend an
additional HAPC alternative to the
Council for inclusion in the Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (DSEIS) for the Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) Omnibus Amendment.
The committee will also receive a
briefing on current EFH consultations
on non-fishing impact projects in the
Northeast. Other topics may be covered
at the committee’s discretion.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
