A listing of the issues which parties raised and to which we have responded, which are in the Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice as Appendix I. Parties can find a complete discussion of the issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum, which is on file in the Central Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), room B–099 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the World Wide Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and electronic version of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Final Results of Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated a subsidy rate for DSM for 2005. The final results of this review remain the same as the preliminary results. We determine the total net countervailable subsidy rate for DSM is 0.10 percent ad valorem for 2005, which is de minimis. See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1). Manufacturer/exporter Margin (percent) Donguk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM) ............................ 0.10 (de minimis) pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES Assessment The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days after the date of publication of these final results of review to liquidate shipments of subject merchandise by DSM entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005, without regard to countervailing duties. Cash Deposit Requirements We will instruct CBP not to collect a cash deposit on entries of CTL Plate from DSM and to continue to collect cash deposits for non–reviewed companies at the most recent company– specific or country–wide rate applicable to the company. Accordingly, the cash deposit rate that will be applied to non– reviewed companies covered by this order are those established in the most recently completed administrative proceedings.

These rates shall apply to all non– reviewed companies until a review of a company assigned this rate is requested. This notice is also the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

The draft standard, designated ‘‘Draft FIPS 140– 3,’’ is proposed to supersede FIPS 140– 2. FIPS 140–1 was first published in 1994. In 2001 FIPS 140–2 superseded FIPS 140–1. FIPS 140–2 specified that it will be reviewed within five years. In 2005, NIST solicited public comments on reaffirming the standard. The comments received by NIST supported maintaining the standard. The comments also supported updating the standard due to advances in technology. The proposed revision can be found at https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/ drafts.html#fips140-3 and is now available for public review and comment. Prior to the submission of this proposed standard to the Secretary of Commerce for review and approval, it is essential that consideration is given to the needs and views of the public, users, the information technology industry, and Federal, State and local government organizations. The purpose of this notice is to solicit such views. DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FIPS 140– 1, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules was issued in 1994 and was superseded by FIPS 140– 2 in 2001. FIPS 140–2 identifies requirements for four security levels for cryptographic modules to provide for a wide spectrum of data sensitivity (e.g., low value administrative data, million dollar funds transfers, and life protecting data), and a diversity of application environments. Over 1600 modules have been tested by accredited private-sector laboratories and validated to-date as conforming to this standard. The standard provided that it be reviewed within five years to consider its continued usefulness and whether new or revised requirements should be added. A notice was published in the Federal Register (Volume 70, Number 8) on January 12, 2005, soliciting public comments on reaffirming the standard. The comments supported reaffirmation of the standard, but suggested technical modifications to address advances in technology since the standard was originally issued. Using these comments, NIST prepared Draft FIPS 140–3. The most important differences between this Draft FIPS 140–3 and the current FIPS 140–2 standard are: Specifying five security levels instead of four; having a separate section for software security; requiring to mitigate against the non-invasive attacks when validating at higher security levels; introducing a notion of public security parameters; allowing to defer various self-tests until certain conditions are met; and strengthening the requirements on user authentication and integrity testing. Authority: Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology after approval by the Secretary of Commerce pursuant to Section 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 and the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (Pub.

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces Draft Federal Information Processing 
Standard 140-3, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, for 
public review and comment. The draft standard, designated ``Draft FIPS 
140-3,'' is proposed to supersede FIPS 140-2.
    FIPS 140-1 was first published in 1994. In 2001 FIPS 140-2 
superseded FIPS 140-1. FIPS 140-2 specified that it will be reviewed 
within five years. In 2005, NIST solicited public comments on 
reaffirming the standard. The comments received by NIST supported 
maintaining the standard. The comments also supported updating the 
standard due to advances in technology. The proposed revision can be 
found at https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts.html#fips140-3 and is 
now available for public review and comment.
    Prior to the submission of this proposed standard to the Secretary 
of Commerce for review and approval, it is essential that consideration 
is given to the needs and views of the public, users, the information 
technology industry, and Federal, State and local government 
organizations. The purpose of this notice is to solicit such views.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FIPS 140-1, Security Requirements for 
Cryptographic Modules was issued in 1994 and was superseded by FIPS 
140-2 in 2001. FIPS 140-2 identifies requirements for four security 
levels for cryptographic modules to provide for a wide spectrum of data 
sensitivity (e.g., low value administrative data, million dollar funds 
transfers, and life protecting data), and a diversity of application 
environments.
    Over 1600 modules have been tested by accredited private-sector 
laboratories and validated to-date as conforming to this standard. The 
standard provided that it be reviewed within five years to consider its 
continued usefulness and whether new or revised requirements should be 
added.
    A notice was published in the Federal Register (Volume 70, Number 
8) on January 12, 2005, soliciting public comments on reaffirming the 
standard. The comments supported reaffirmation of the standard, but 
suggested technical modifications to address advances in technology 
since the standard was originally issued. Using these comments, NIST 
prepared Draft FIPS 140-3.
    The most important differences between this Draft FIPS 140-3 and 
the current FIPS 140-2 standard are: Specifying five security levels 
instead of four; having a separate section for software security; 
requiring to mitigate against the non-invasive attacks when validating 
at higher security levels; introducing a notion of public security 
parameters; allowing to defer various self-tests until certain 
conditions are met; and strengthening the requirements on user 
authentication and integrity testing.

    Authority: Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are 
issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology after 
approval by the Secretary of Commerce pursuant to Section 5131 of 
the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 and the 
Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-
347).
    E.O. 12866: This notice has been determined not to be significant 
for the purposes of E.O. 12866.
