the Federal Register. The separate–rate
application is due no later than
November 9, 2007.
Respondent Selection and Quantity and
Value Questionnaire
In recent NME investigations, it has
been the Department’s practice to
request quantity and value information
from all known exporters identified in
the petition. See Initiation of Nails from
the PRC, 72 FR at 38821; Tires from the
PRC, 72 FR at 43595. However, for this
investigation, because HTSUS
subheading 7326.20.00.20, as discussed
above in the ‘‘Scope of the
Investigation,’’ provides comprehensive
coverage of imports of steel wire
garment hangers, the Department
expects to select respondents in this
investigation based on U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data of
U.S. imports under HTSUS subheading
7326.20.0020 from the POI.

Use of Combination Rates in an NME
Investigation
The Department will calculate
combination rates for certain
respondents that are eligible for a
separate rate in this investigation. The
Separate Rates and Combination Rates
Bulletin, states:
{w}hile continuing the practice of
assigning separate rates only to
exporters, all separate rates that the
Department will now assign in its
NME investigations will be specific
to those producers that supplied the
exporter during the period of
investigation. Note, however, that
one rate is calculated for the
exporter and all of the producers
which supplied subject
merchandise to it during the period
of investigation. This practice
applies both to mandatory
respondents receiving an
individually calculated separate
rate as well as the pool of non–
investigated firms receiving the
weighted–average of the
individually calculated rates. This
practice is referred to as the
application of ‘‘combination rates’’
because such rates apply to specific
combinations of exporters and one
or more producers. The cash–
deposit rate assigned to an exporter
will apply only to merchandise
both exported by the firm in
question and produced by a firm
that supplied the exporter during
the period of investigation.

Rates Bulletin, at 6.

Distribution of Copies of the Petition
In accordance with section
732(b)(3)(A) of the Act, copies of the
public version of the Petition have been
provided to the representative of the
Government of the PRC. We will
attempt to provide a copy of the public
version of the Petition to the foreign
producers/exporters, consistent with 19
CFR 351.203(c)(2).
International Trade Commission
Notification
We have notified the ITC of our
initiation, as required by section 732(d)
of the Act.
Preliminary Determinations by the
International Trade Commission
The ITC will preliminarily determine,
within 25 days after the date on which
it receives notice of this initiation,
whether there is a reasonable indication
that imports of steel wire garment
hangers from the PRC are causing, or
threatening to cause, material injury to
a U.S. industry. See section
733(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Act. A negative ITC
determination will result in the
investigation being terminated;
otherwise, this investigation will
proceed according to statutory and
regulatory time limits.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: September 10, 2007.

Background
On July 30, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (Department) initiated the
countervailing duty investigation of
certain new pneumatic off–the-road
tires (OTR tires) from the People’s
Republic of China. See Certain New
Pneumatic Off–the-Road Tires From the
People’s Republic of China: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 72 FR
44122 (August 7, 2007). Currently, the
preliminary determination is due no
later than October 3, 2007.
Postponement of Due Date for
Preliminary Determination
On August 23, 2007, Titan Tire
Corporation and United Steel, Paper and
Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy
Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL–CIO-CLC
(collectively, petitioners), submitted a
letter requesting that the Department
postpone the preliminary determination
of the countervailing duty investigation
of OTR tires from the People’s Republic
of China by 65 days. Under section
703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), the Department may
extend the period for reaching a
preliminary determination in a
countervailing duty investigation until
not later than the 130th day after the
date on which the administering
authority initiates an investigation if the
petitioner makes a timely request for an
extension of the period within which
the determination must be made under
section 703(b) of the Act. Pursuant to
section 351.205(e) of the Department’s
regulations, the petitioners’ request for
postponement of the preliminary
determination was made 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination.
Accordingly, we are extending the due
date for the preliminary determination
by 65 days to December 7, 2007.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act.
Dated: September 11, 2007.

of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered
and threatened species (50 CFR 222–
226).
Permit No. 1576 authorizes the permit
holder to test modifications to scallop
dredge gear that may reduce the
probability of turtle injuries due to gear
interactions. They may also
opportunistically collect biological
information from sea turtles captured in
other projects or fisheries to improve
NMFS’s ability to assess stocks and the
impact of anthropogenic activities. The
permit holder requests authorization to
capture, hold, transport, measure,
weigh, flipper and passive integrated
transponder tag, satellite tag, collect
tissue biopsy, photograph, salvage and
necropsy up to 50 loggerhead (Caretta
caretta) and 50 Kemp’s ridley
(Lepidochelys kempii) sea turtles
annually through October 31, 2011.
Researchers request up to one accidental
mortality of each species annually.
Research would take place in the
Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the
eastern United States. The main purpose
of the research is to use satellite-linked
tags to obtain high-resolution
information on the depth, temperature,
and movement of these sea turtle
species in areas coincident with
Northeast fisheries.
