SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The imported fire ant (Solenopsis
invicta Buren, Solenopsis richteri Forel,
and hybrids of these species) is an
aggressive, stinging insect that, in large
numbers, can seriously injure and even
kill livestock, pets, and humans. The
imported fire ant, which is not native to
the United States, feeds on crops and
builds large, hard mounds that damage
farm and field machinery. The imported
fire ant regulations (contained in 7 CFR
301.81 through 301.81–10 and referred
to below as the regulations) are intended
to prevent the imported fire ant from
spreading throughout its ecological
range within the country. The
regulations quarantine infested States or
infested areas within States and restrict
the interstate movement of regulated
articles to prevent the artificial spread of
the imported fire ant.
In addition to the movement
restrictions in the regulations, the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) and its State
cooperators release phorid flies
(Pseudacteon species), a natural enemy
of the imported fire ant, into
quarantined areas. These flies parasitize
the imported fire ant, killing those that
are parasitized. Those ants that are not
parasitized are affected behaviorally by
the presence of the flies because their
presence reduces fire ant foraging. A
decrease in foraging activity facilitates
competition from native fire ants that
might otherwise be excluded from food
sources in fire ant territory.
Currently, APHIS uses three species
of phorid flies (Pseudacteon curvatus, P.
litoralis, and P. tricuspis) as biological
control agents. We are now proposing to
release five more species (P. cultellatus,
P. nocens, P. nudicornis, P. obtusus, and
P. sp. near obtusus) into areas
PO 00000

quarantined for imported fire ant within
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and
the following States: Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
To provide the public with
documentation of APHIS’ review and
analysis of the potential environmental
impacts associated with releasing these
additional species of phorid flies into
the environment, we have prepared a
draft environmental assessment entitled
‘‘Field Release of Phorid Flies
(Pseudacteon species) for the Biological
Control of Imported Fire Ants’’ (July
2007).
The environmental assessment has
been prepared in accordance with: (1)
The National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.), (2) regulations of the
Council on Environmental Quality for
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3)
USDA regulations implementing NEPA
(7 CFR part 1), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA
Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part
372).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On April 27, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published a
notice of initiation of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
E:\FR\FM\13NON1.SGM
13NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 13, 2007 / Notices
on certain orange juice from Brazil. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 72 FR 20986 (Apr. 27, 2007).
The period of review is August 24, 2005,
through February 28, 2007, and the
preliminary results are currently due no
later than December 3, 2007. The review
covers three producers/exporters of the
subject merchandise to the United
States.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping order within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further
provides, however, that the Department
may extend the 245-day period to 365
days if it determines it is not practicable
to complete the review within the
foregoing time period. We determine
that it is not practicable to complete this
administrative review within the time
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act because of technical issues
contained in supplemental
questionnaire responses. Analysis of
these issues requires additional time.
Therefore, we have fully extended the
deadline for completing the preliminary
results until March 31, 2008, the next
business day after 365 days from the last
day of the anniversary month of the date
of publication of the order. The deadline
for the final results of the review
continues to be 120 days after the
publication of the preliminary results.
This extension notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: November 5, 2007.
