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 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. The Census Bureau currently collects import data and 
disseminates aggregate information about steel imports. However, the 
time required to collect, process, and disseminate this information 
through Census can take up to 90 days after importation of the product, 
giving interested parties and the public far less time to respond to 
injurious sales.

II. Method of Collection

    The license application can be submitted electronically or 
completed electronically and faxed.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
