the Act allows the Department to
postpone making the preliminary
determination until no later than 130
days after the date on which the

The Department concludes that, thus

number and complexity of the alleged
countervailable subsidy practices being
investigated, which include loans,
grants, income tax programs, provision
of goods or services for less than
adequate remuneration and government
restraints on exports, it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
determination of this investigation
within the original time limit (i.e.,
September 20, 2007). Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(B)(i)
of the Act, we are fully extending the

determination to no later than 130 days

was initiated (i.e., November 26, 2007).

ACTION: Solicitation of public comments
concerning a review undertaken at the
request of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service of existing exemptions for
aircraft of foreign registry from certain
internal revenue taxes on the purchase
of supplies in the United States for such
aircraft in connection with their
international commercial operations.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that,
pursuant to section 4221 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C.
4221), the Department of Commerce is
undertaking to determine whether the
governments of the countries or
economies listed herein allow or will

allow substantially reciprocal tax
exemptions to aircraft of U.S. registry in
connection with international
commercial operations similar to those
exemptions currently granted to or
available to aircraft of those countries or
economies by the United States under
the aforementioned statute. The basis
for this undertaking is a request from
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for a
comprehensive review of the existing
findings to determine whether those
countries or economies previously
subject to exemptions from certain U.S.
internal revenue taxes continue to allow
substantially reciprocal tax exemptions
to aircraft of U.S. registry.
The above-cited statute provides
exemptions for aircraft of foreign
registry from payment of certain internal
revenue taxes on the purchase of
supplies in the United States for such
aircraft in connection with their
international commercial operations.
These exemptions apply upon a
finding by the Secretary of Commerce,
or his designee, and communicated to
the Department of the Treasury, that
such country allows, or will allow,
‘‘substantially reciprocal privileges’’ to
aircraft of U.S. registry with respect to
purchases of such supplies in that
country.
The Department of Commerce
proposes that aircraft registered in the
following countries or economies be
provided exemptions as allowed by
section 4221 of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended (26 U.S.C. 4221).
