Background
On September 25, 2007, the U.S.
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat
products from Korea, covering the
period August 1, 2006, to July 31, 2007.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 72 FR 54428 (September 25, 2007).
On September 9, 2008, the Department
published the preliminary results of this
review. See Certain Corrosion–Resistant
Carbon Steel Flat Products From the
Republic of Korea: Notice of Preliminary
Results of the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 73 FR 52267
(September 9, 2008). The final results of
this review are currently due no later
than January 7, 2009.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (AAct@), requires
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:30 Nov 10, 2008
Jkt 217001
the Department to issue the final results
of a review within 120 days after the
date on which the preliminary results
are published. However, if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days. See also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the final results of this
review within the original time limit
because several technical issues have
arisen. These issues include: (1)
Whether to add a separate field to
differentiate laminated products from
painted products based on the physical,
cost, and price differences of the two,
and therefore to modify the
Department’s model–match
methodology; (2) whether to recalculate
the general and administrative and
financial ratios; and (3) whether to
exclude gains and losses on currency
forward contracts. These issues require
additional analyses of certain
information. Therefore, the Department
is fully extending the final results. The
final results are now due not later than
March 8, 2009. As this day falls on a
Sunday, the final results are due March
9, 2009. See Notice of Clarification:
Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’
Rule for Administrative Determination
Deadlines Pursuant of the Tariff Act of
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May
10, 2005).
This extension is in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: November 4, 2008.

merchandise covered by the order. In
response to both requests, the
Department initiated the antidumping
duty administrative review on purified
CMC from the Netherlands on August
26, 2008. See Initiation Notice.
Akzo Nobel timely withdrew its
request for review on October 9, 2008.
Petitioner timely withdrew its request
for review of sales by Akzo Nobel on
October 10, 2008. See 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Partial Rescission of the Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the

review, in whole or in part, if a party
that requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the
requested review. The Secretary may
extend this time limit if the Secretary
decides that it is reasonable to do so.
See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Both
Petitioner and Akzo Nobel withdrew
their requests for review with respect to
the latter within the 90-day time limit.
Therefore, in response to the
withdrawal of requests for
administrative reviews by both Akzo
Nobel and Petitioner, the Department
hereby rescinds the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on purified CMC from the Netherlands
for the period July 1, 2007, through June
30, 2008 for Akzo Nobel.
Assessment Rates
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
15 days after the date of publication of
this partial rescission of administrative
review. The Department will direct CBP
to assess antidumping duties for Akzo
Nobel at the cash deposit rate in effect
on the date of entry for entries during
the period July 1, 2007, through June 30,
2008.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded, of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a
certificate regarding reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

Announcing DRAFT Federal
Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) Publication 186–3, Digital
Signature Standard (DSS) and Request
for Comments
National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST), Commerce
Department.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces a
second public review and comment
period for Draft Federal Information
Processing Standard 186–3, Digital
Signature Standard. The draft standard,
designated ‘‘Draft FIPS 186–3,’’ is
proposed to revise and supersede FIPS
186–2. Draft FIPS 186–3 is a revision of
FIPS 186–2, the Digital Signature
Standard. The Draft FIPS specifies three
techniques for the generation and
verification of digital signatures that can
be used for the protection of data: the
Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), the
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (ECDSA) and the RivestShamir-Adelman (RSA) algorithm.
Although all three of these algorithms
were approved in FIPS 186–2, this
revision increases the key sizes allowed
for DSA, provides additional
requirements for the use of RSA and
ECDSA, and includes requirements for
obtaining the assurances necessary for
valid digital signatures. FIPS 186–2
contained specifications for random
number generators (RNGs); this revision
does not include such specifications,
but refers to NIST Special Publication
(SP) 800–90 for obtaining random
numbers.
Prior to the submission of this
proposed standard to the Secretary of
Commerce for review and approval, it is
essential that consideration is given to
the needs and views of the public, users,
the information technology industry,
and Federal, State and local government
organizations. The purpose of this
notice is to solicit such views.

or before December 12, 2008.

FIPS 186,
first published in 1994, specified a
digital signature algorithm (DSA) to
generate and verify digital signatures.
Later revisions (FIPS 186–1 and FIPS
186–2, adopted in 1998 and 1999,
respectively) adopted two additional
algorithms specified in American
National Standards (ANS) X9.31 (Digital
Signatures Using Reversible Public Key
Cryptography for the Financial Services
Industry (rDSA)), and X9.62 (The
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (ECDSA)).
The original DSA algorithm, as
specified in FIPS 186, 186–1 and 186–
2, allows key sizes of 512 to 1024 bits.
With advances in technology, it is
prudent to consider larger key sizes.
Draft FIPS 186–3 allows the use of 1024,
2048 and 3072-bit keys. Other
requirements have also been added
concerning the use of ANS X9.31 and
ANS X9.62. In addition, the use of the
RSA algorithm as specified in Public
Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #1
(RSA Cryptography Standard) is
allowed.
A request for public comments was
published in the Federal Register on
March 13, 2006 (71 FR 12678). After
receiving comments in response to this
notice, NIST incorporated the comments
and posted a revised version of the FIPS
on its Web site. NIST received some
additional comments in response to this
posting. In all, a total of 15 individuals
and organizations provided comments
(two U.S. government agencies, a
foreign government agency, one
university, eight private organizations,
and three from individuals). The
following is a summary of the comments
received and NIST’s responses to them:
Comment: Seven commenters
suggested a number of editorial changes.
Response: NIST made the appropriate
editorial changes, which included
correcting typographical errors; spelling,
format and font size changes; reference
restrictions and updates, where
appropriate; minor word changes and
clarifications.
