They also require that applications contain detailed information on facilities, financing, operational plans, proposed manufacturing operations, need, and economic impact. The manufacturing activity in zones, which is primarily conducted in subzones, can involve issues related to domestic industry and trade policy impact. These applications must include specific information on the Customs tariff-related savings that result from zone procedures and the economic consequences of permitting such savings. The FTZ Board requires complete and accurate information on the proposed operation and its economic effects because the regulations authorize the Board to restrict or prohibit operations that are detrimental to the public interest.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The President’s Proclamation on Steel Safeguards mandated that the Departments of Commerce and Treasury institute an import licensing system to facilitate the monitoring of certain steel imports. Regulations were established that implemented the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) system and expanded on the licensing system for steel that was part of those safeguards. The import license information is necessary to assess import trends of steel products. In order to effectively monitor steel imports, Commerce must collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about imports. The Steel Import License is the tool used to collect the necessary information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On February 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) issued the preliminary results of these new shipper reviews. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Partial Rescission and Preliminary Results of the First New Shipper Review, 73 FR 6125 (February 1, 2008) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). The final results are currently due on April 21, 2008. Extension of Time Limits for Final Results Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the date on which the new shipper review was initiated and final results of a review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results were issued. The Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the final results of a new shipper review to 150 days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The Department is extending the deadline for the completion of the final results of these new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam because the case is extraordinarily complicated. Specifically, these new shipper reviews involve complicated affiliation and data issue issues, which require further analysis. Such analysis is necessary in order for the Department to obtain accurate sales and factors of production. E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM 24MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Foreign-Trade Zone Application is the vehicle by which 
individual firms or organizations apply for foreign-trade zone (FTZ) 
status, subzone status, or expansion of an existing zone. The FTZ Act 
and Regulations require that an application with a description of the 
proposed project be made to the FTZ Board (19 U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15

expanded. They also require that applications contain detailed 
information on facilities, financing, operational plans, proposed 
manufacturing operations, need, and economic impact. The manufacturing 
activity in zones, which is primarily conducted in subzones, can 
involve issues related to domestic industry and trade policy impact. 
These applications must include specific information on the Customs 
tariff-related savings that result from zone procedures and the 
economic consequences of permitting such savings. The FTZ Board 
requires complete and accurate information on the proposed operation 
and its economic effects because the regulations authorize the Board to 
restrict or prohibit operations that are detrimental to the public 
interest.
