ACTION: Notice. mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(b) and 4280.126(c), Rural Development (the Agency) has the authority to charge an annual renewal fee for loans made under the Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Improvements (9006) Guaranteed Loan Program. Pursuant to that authority, the Agency is establishing the renewal fee rate at onefourth of 1 percent for the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program and oneeighth of 1 percent for the 9006 Guaranteed Loan Program. These rates will apply to all loans obligated in fiscal year (FY) 2007 that are made under the cited programs. As established in 7 CFR 4279.107 and 4280.126, the amount of the fee on each guaranteed loan will be determined by multiplying the fee rate by the outstanding principal loan balance as of December 31, multiplied by the percent of guarantee. As set forth in 7 CFR 4280.126(a), each fiscal year the Agency shall establish the initial guarantee fee rate for loans made under the 9006 Guaranteed Loan Program. Pursuant to that authority, the Agency is establishing the initial guarantee fee rate at 1 percent for loans made in FY 2007. As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(a) and 4279.119(b)(4), each fiscal year the Agency shall establish a limit on the maximum portion of B&I guarantee authority available for that fiscal year that may be used to guarantee loans with a B&I guarantee fee of 1 percent or guaranteed loans with a guarantee percentage exceeding 80 percent. Allowing the guarantee fee to be reduced to 1 percent or exceeding the 80 percent guarantee on certain B&I guaranteed loans that meet the conditions set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107 and 4279.119 will increase the Agency’s ability to focus guarantee assistance on projects which the Agency has found particularly meritorious. For 1 percent fees, the borrower’s business supports value-added agriculture and results in farmers benefiting financially, or such projects are high impact as defined in 7 CFR 4279.155(b)(5) and located in rural communities that remain persistently VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:58 Jan 16, 2007 Jkt 211001 poor, which experience long-term population decline and job deterioration, are experiencing trauma as a result of natural disaster, or are experiencing fundamental structural changes in its economic base. For guaranteed loans exceeding 80 percent, such projects must be a high-priority project in accordance with 7 CFR 4279.155. Not more than 12 percent of the Agency’s quarterly apportioned B&I guarantee authority will be reserved for loan requests with a guarantee fee of 1 percent, and not more than 15 percent of the Agency’s quarterly apportioned guarantee authority will be reserved for guaranteed loan requests with a guaranteed percentage exceeding 80 percent. Once the respective quarterly limits are reached, all additional loans for that quarter will be at the standard fee and guarantee limits in 7 CFR part 4279. As an exception to this paragraph and for the purposes of this notice, loans developed by the North American Development Bank (NADBank) Community Adjustment and Investment Program (CAIP) will not count against the 15 percent limit. Up to 50 percent of CAIP loans may have a guaranteed percentage exceeding 80 percent. The funding authority for CAIP loans is not derived carryover or recovered funding authority of the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program. Written requests by the Rural Development State Office for approval of a guaranteed loan with a 1 percent guarantee fee or a guaranteed loan exceeding 80 percent must be forwarded to the National Office, Attn: Director, Business and Industry Division, for review and consideration prior to obligation of the guaranteed loan. The Administrator will provide a written response to the State Office confirming approval or disapproval of the request. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 17, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat 
Products from Canada. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). On August 30, 
2006, Stelco Inc. (Stelco) timely requested that the Department conduct 
an administrative review of Stelco. On August 31, 2006, U.S. Steel 
(petitioner), timely requested that the Department conduct an 
administrative review of Dofasco Inc., Sorevco Inc., and Do Sol Galva., 
Partnership (hereinafter referred to as Dofasco), and Stelco. Shortly 
thereafter, the Department published a notice of the initiation of the 
antidumping duty administrative review of Corrosion-Resistant Carbon 
Steel Flat Products from Canada for the period August 1, 2005 through 
July 31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). On December 
28, 2006, petitioner withdrew its request for this administrative 
review with respect to respondents Dofasco and Stelco; on January 3, 
2006, Stelco withdrew its request for an administrative review. Dofasco 
did not request an administrative review for this period.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at section 351.213(d)(1) provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. Petitioner submitted its request for 
withdrawal for Dofasco and Stelco in a timely manner. In addition, 
although Stelco withdrew its request after the 90-day deadline, the 
Department finds it reasonable to extend the withdrawal deadline for 
Stelco because the Department has not yet devoted any significant time 
and resources to this review. Furthermore, we find that Stelco's 
withdrawal does not constitute an abuse of our procedures. Therefore, 
the Department is rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat 
Products from Canada for the period August 1, 2005 through July 31, 
2006. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S.
